In corthata the upper surface of the male is dark, but intensely bluish-violet.
Easily separable from typical birmana by the hindwing in which the dark marginal band is analwards narrower.
the postmedian band on the forewing beneath is still coherent, whereas in the larger form aberrans Nic.
[ now species Arhopala aberrans (de Nicéville, [1889]) ] it is interrupted in the centre.
