Description
| Description | The male of the species is a deep lustrous purple above, not unlike the Arhopala species, whilst the female is paler. The undersurface of the butterfly is dark brown, with narrow darker brown post discal lines on both wings. Two prominent black tornal spots on the hindwing are crowned with brilliant metallic green scaling. The butterfly has two pairs of white-tipped tails, originating from veins 1b and 2 on the hindwings. |
