rather faint and irregularly sca'.ljped. In terminal space opposite cell 



there is usually a quite distinct sagittate spot, in some specimens reaching 



even to t. p. line. There are usually one or two similar spots just above 



inner angle. Fringe white or greenish white at ends of veins, black 



between them, pale line at base. A marginal row of black lunules 

 against the black spots of fringe. Orbicular moderate in size, round, 

 concolorous, with whitish centre, almost completely black ringed. 

 Reniform large, erect, kidney-shaped, concolorous, white centred. The 

 black limiting line more or less incomplete and fragmentary. Hind wings 

 rather dirty white, darker outwardly, distinct though not prominent, rather 

 irregular mesial band. Discal dot present. Terminal more or less inter- 

 rupted black line. Fringe pale, with tendency to formation of black spots 

 as on fore wings. 



Beneath : fore wings somewhat dusky, paler along inner margin. 

 Three prominent black spots on costa, marking the inception of more or 

 less distinct dusky transverse, rather diffuse bands ; faint discal bar. 

 Fringe as above. Secondaries somewhat paler, a black demi-band at 

 basal third and a more complete outer one, both somewhat jagged and 

 irregular. Discal dot, terminal line and fringe as above. Head dusky 

 white. Collar, patagia and thorax green. Collar black on edge and 

 extending mesially through it to head. Patagia edged with black intern- 

 ally at base. Thorax with some black scales posteriorly. Abdomen 

 fuscous, showing tendency to be pale banded, fan-shaped tuft at base, 

 green-black at tip. Palpi black outwardly, whitish within. Tongue 

 yellow. Legs dirty white. Tarsi black ringed.

S . — General colour a rather dark glistening golden brown, inclined 

 to reddish in some specimens, slightly darkened along veins. There is a 

 light frosting of white scales, which is emphasized around the ordinary 

 spots and along the lines, bringing them out in a beautiful manner in fresh 

 specimens on close inspection or under the lens, but it is so fine and 

 delicate that but little remains in worn specimens. The subterminal space 

 next to t. p. line is a trifle lighter than the rest of wing, and shades gradually 

 into the concolorous terminal space. Head, collar and thorax concolorous, 

 the edge of collar with more white scales than the remainder. Abdomen 

 fuscous. Inception of ordinary lines marked by faint white dots on costa.
