Male (Figs 2E, 2F): Head, thorax and abdomen: identical to other subspecies. FWD: (length 32–36 mm, mean: 34.9 mm, n=6) with an elongated apical part, and gently convex outer margin; most of wing surface black; costa from base to apex dusted with dark blue; a rich green area from wing base to three-fourths of anal margin, entering discal cell along lower part from base to root of vein Cu1, enclosing a black mid cell spot; a large, roughly rectangular bottle green subapical patch with a bluish sheen, extending widely along costa, with sharply defined zigzagging basal limit, without any notable incision along vein M3, and a diffused outer limit; fringes grey. HWD oval with a gently scalloped outer margin; rich green, gradually turning bluish green from vein M3 towards tornus and anal margin gradually narrowing from roughly 4–5 mm at apex to 2 mm at tornus; fringes grey. FWV mostly bottle green, slightly lighter than on the FWD subapical patch, a series of black spots, at wing base, mid cell, cell end, the latter two elongated, extending across cells M3-Cu1 and Cu1-Cu2; a row of seven, roughly oval submarginal patches, two tornal patches in Cu1-Cu2 and Cu2-1/2A twice as big as the remainder. HWV golden green, with an elongated basal pinkish patch extending from costal margin to Rs to one-fourth costa, edged with black; two black discal spots, and a row of eight large, roughly oval black submarginal patches; marginal area darker bottle green and black. Male genitalia (Fig. 9F): Not differing noticeably from the nominotypical.
Female (Figs 4E, 4F): Sexual dimorphism slight, recognized from the male by the larger size (FW length 50 mm, n=1). Female genitalia (Fig. 10F): Bursa copulatrix large, rounded; no signa; ductus bursae (0.22 mm) narrow, approximately the same width over the whole length, two-thirds the length of bursa; colliculum slat like with gently folded edges, strongly sclerotized, half the length of ductus bursae; ductus seminalis joins the colliculum at the entrance of ductus bursae; lamella postvaginalis small, slat-like; papillae anales three times as long (0.12 mm) as wide in lateral view, compressed in ventral view; apophyse posteriores slightly longer than the width of papillae anales; von Siebold organ prominent (but smaller than in some species of the Euphaedra ceres group (Pyrcz et al. 2011).
