Hindwing with the apex well defined, outer margin nearly straight to vein 3, the anal angle rounded. Upperside dark brownish lilac-purple, terminal line on both wings black. Hindwing with a sub-terminal series of indistinct blackish spots, the spot in interspace 2 large and more distinct and edged outwardly by a pale line; tail black, tipped with white. Cilia grey, darker inwardly. Underside brownish-grey, with a slight pinkish tinge, bands not darker than the ground colour, indicated by their white edgings. Forewing with a bar across the middle of the cell, extends hindwards to vein 1, a bar across the end of the cell, a discal band of four conjoined bars from near the costa to vein 8, extended hindwards from its inner side to vein 1; the bar above vein 3 a little disjointed inwards. Hindwing with a sub-basal band, a bar across the end of the cell, and a discal outwardly curved band of bars, the fifth from the costa a little inwards, touching the lower end of the discoidal bar; both wings with terminal brown line, and a double series of sub-terminal white lunules filled in with pale brown, a large sub-terminal black spot in interspace 2, with some metallic blue-green scales and capped with pale orange. Antennae black, ringed with white; head and body brown, the palpi fringed with black hairs. Female. Upperside. Forewing dull greyish-blue, costal and outer marginal borders broadly black, broadest at the apex, gradually narrowing on the costa towards the base.

Ionolyce helicon is een vlinder uit de familie van de Lycaenidae.[1]
De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd als Lycaena helicon in 1860 gepubliceerd door Cajetan Freiherr von Felder, die de vlinder zelf op Ambon verzameld had.[2] In 1929 creëerde Lambertus Johannes Toxopeus speciaal voor deze ene soort het geslacht Ionolyce, waarbij hij de op Java verzamelde en door hem benoemde ondersoort javanica als enige lid van het geslacht noemde, waarmee die ondersoort automatisch het type werd.[3] Toxopeus verwees daarbij naar een diagnose van het geslacht in "Treubia" die volgens Gerald Edward Tite (1963) nooit daar of ergens anders verschenen is; de geslachtsnaam is uitsluitend geldig omdat die met maar één soort werd gepubliceerd.[4]
