Hindwing: a short comparatively broad sub-basal band from costa to sub-costal vein, and the postdiscal area between the medial blue band and the sub-terminal lunules velvety black traversed by the pale veins and transversely, except in interspaces 6 and 7, by narrow crimson lines; lastly, a crimson spot near the tornal angle with an admarginal yellowish-white spot below it.

Male has abdominal fold within grey, furnished with a tuft of long, somewhat stiff white hairs.

(South India and Sri Lanka) is distinguishable in both sexes by the narrower medial band that crosses both forewing and hindwing.

Colour brighter, the contrast between the green of the upper and the blue of the lower portion of the medial band more vivid.

Both forewings and hindwings are marked by a central spot in the form of a blue or blue-green triangle, with apex pointing toward the body.

In eastern Australia, they have adapted to a drier subtropical environment, and are commonly seen in suburban gardens in Queensland and New South Wales.

teredon often feed on leaves of the cinnamon bark tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) or of the Indian laurel (Litsea sebifera).

The pupa is green with a slender and pointed thoractic projection, yellowish wing cases and lateral bands.
