Description[edit]
The male is above very similar to a large male of Arhopala bazalus [nominate or ssp. turbata Butler ],but it has not the stunted apex of the forewing and also a somewhat different violet reflection which, however,is only distinct in a certain light. Beneath the spots and bands are filled with a slightly darker colour than the ground-colour, the metallic place at the anal angle of the hindwing is distinct. Female above on both wings with a bright blue proximal area into which a black spot projects at the cell-end.[5] [6][7]
