Description The male is above lustrous sky-blue, not violet as the preceding species [ agesias ] and with a black margin of 1.5 to 2 mm. Beneath the dark sepia-coloured spots are very conspicuous in the light red-brown ground-colour. The female is above similar to the male but the wings do not exhibit the bright Morpho lustre of the males.Seitz, A.
