Forewing: a posterior, medial, somewhat triangular area rich iridescent blue; the outer margin of this area passes from base through the middle of the cell to a little beyond the apex of the latter, then curves sharply round and is continued obliquely to the dorsum at about two-thirds of the distance from base to tornus; outwardly this area is pure white, the discocellulars marked with a slender black tooth.

Forewings and hindwings: the iridescent blue areas as in the male but very much more restricted; on the hindwing the subterminal curved series of bluish lunules barely indicated by similar markings of a shade paler than the ground colour; the deep black spots that margin the lunules on the outer side can only be seen in certain lights.

Underside: as in the male but the markings broader and coarser, all of a rich brown, not fuscous-black or deep black colour.

Male closely resembles the male of the wet-season brood, but on the upperside the pale areas on both forewing and hindwing are of greater extent with more of while and less of the iridescent blue; This bluish-white area is especially extended on the hindwing, encroaching upwards on the dark ground colour.

Underside: ground colour and markings similar to those in the wet-season form, but as a rule very slender and trending to obsolescence.
