base, forms the upper extremity of a transverse fascia, dilated obliquely backward to the dorsum ; 
the fourth, tending obliquely outward, is shortly produced along the cell; the fifth, about the middle, 
is small; the sixth forms the upper extremity of a conspicuous, widely dilated, transverse fascia, tending 
obliquely inward to the middle of the dorsum, its margins somewhat sinuate ; the seventh, small and 
triangular, before the apex—these markings are all clearly defined, and are brilliant iridescent-peacock- 
green, except on the costa; cilia white. Exp. al, 14-24mm. Hindwings white, with a slight greyish 
ochreous tinge; cilia white. Abdomen greyish ochreous. Legs white, the anterior and median pairs
