The electronic structure of a biexciton is discussed while taking into account the detailed band structure of CuCl. The fine structure of the excitonic molecule is clarified with the effective electron-hole exchange effect taken into account beyond the effective mass approximation. The electron-hole exchange interaction mixes the states of opposite parities with respect to the permutation of electrons and holes. Two trial envelope functions, symmetric and antisymmetric under the permutation of two electrons or two holes, were used in the numerical minimization of the ground state energy of the biexciton. The obtained binding energy of the biexciton, as well as, the ratio of the mixing of the trial envelope functions of opposite parities are presented.
