Females possess rounded wings, with a blackish base-color and two white bands on the forewing. The anal angle of the male hindwing is acute, the base-color of the wing is dark brown and there is an orange marginal band along the costa; whilst in females the wings are rounded, their base-color is blackish, and a turquoise blue band accompanied by two white spots is found from the costa to the anal angle. They also possess two postdiscal white spots. Ventrally, in both sexes the wing pattern is similar to the dorsal one; in males the base-color is light orange; in females some reddish tones appear on the hindwing, the discal blue band disappears, and the basal region is light blue. Morphologically, except for their variable size, the three taxa are quite similar (
