Wing span:

Identification: The upperside of the wings is iridescent blue excepting the margin, submargin and outer part of the postdiscal area, which are dark brown. On the forewings, there appears to be a large central dark brown spot in the iridescent blue region where the iridescent blue tint is not present. The hindwings have two tail-like projections and thin white cilia near the tornus. The underside of the wings is light brown with two white and brown lines running vertically from costa to dorsum. On the hindwings, these lines turn wavy midway and have bits of iridescent green. The tornus is also iridescent green and has two yellow-crowned black ocelli. Each hindwing has a white postbasal spot.
