 reddish. Wings not so deep green as in A. mimosaria. Fore wings white on 

 the costa as usual; inner line, situated the same distance from the base of 

 wing as in mimosaria, wavy, angulated distinctly outward on the median vein. 

 Outer remote from inner line, a little wavy, and a little narrower than usual. 

 Secondaries with the two lines well marked, remote inner one distinct, very 

 near base of wing, curved and waved; outer line slightly wavy, curved out- 

 ward more than usual in the middle of the wing. Fringe of a peculiar pale 

 silken-green luster, with a faint narrow red line at base (this line easily over- 

 looked). Abdomen with a white spot at base, and with two white distinct 

 bands on two following segments; terminal third white. Fore legs whitish- 

 brown, ringed with white ; two binder pairs white. Wings beneath whitish- 

 green ; costa of lore wings white. The outer line faintly reproduced on the
