Female upperside: brownish black. 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.
