Wing span:

Identification: The wings are dark brown on the upperside with an iridescent blue tint (dull and less extensive in females), except at the base, costa, subapex, apex and termenal submargin, as well as the dorsum and cell above the dorsum of the hindwings. The forewings have submarginal white spots. The underside of the wings is also dark brown with white to yellow submarginal wavy bands and lines. The wings also have a central whitish wavy band. The forewings have three black ocelli (two on the central band), each with a white pupil and a yellow outline followed by thin dark brown and white outlines. The hindwings have four black ocelli occurring along the outer side of the central band, each with a white pupil and a yellow outline followed by thin dark brown and white outlines. One of the ocelli on the hindwings is slightly larger than the others and occurs close to the costa, while the remaining three occur from mid to dorsum in a row and share the outer white outline. The wings also have a short whitish postbasal strip below the costa.
