MORPHOLOGY
The descriptions below are on the genus level. For difference between the species we recommend to look at the pictures or look up the original species description.

Forewing length (mm): 20-25.
General morphology:
Antennae longer than half of length of forewing, apiculus obtuse or hooked, nudum 14-17 segments. Forewing broad-triangular, costa and termen almost straight, hind margin as long as termen. Hindwing termen rounded in apical half, but hardly produced at tornus, inner margin as long as costa.
Wing coloration:
Upper side: Upper side forewing dark brown usually with blue or green super-scaling, no spots. Upper side hindwing as forewing, but with smaller or larger yellow area at tornus.
Underside: Underside forewing as upper side, but apical half or more may be overlaid by bluish scales, with crossing veins sometimes outlined pale-greenish. Underside hindwing as upper side, but in one species greenish of=r bluish, crossed by veins that are conspicuously paler outlined.
Secondary sexual characters:
Underside forewing as upper side, but apical half or more may be overlaid by bluish scales, with crossing veins sometimes outlined pale-greenish. Underside hindwing as upper side, but in one species greenish of=r bluish, crossed by veins that are conspicuously paler outlined.
