speckled and blotched with fnscons and crimson; a black spot on inner marfjin at 

 base ; the lines black and tliick, edged on both sides with ])ParI-grey scales: first 

 from one-fonrtli of costa to two-fifths of inner margin, angled basewards on median 

 and submcdian veins, outwarils curved above and below the median : second from three- 

 fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, strongly bideutate basewards on vein 6, 

 then running obliquely outwards to vein 5 and less obliquely to vein 4, thence oblique 

 inwards, forming three acutely deutate-edgiMl Innules, the lowest of the three on the 

 submedian fold approximated to the lunule of first line; submarginal line pale, very 

 obscure, preceded by diffuse olive blotches which are more or less continent with a 

 series of fuscous olive marginal spots : fringe fuscous olive, varied with pale and 

 reddish scales; discal spot olive, indistinct; the crimson scales are thickest on each 

 edge of the two lines and beyond the cell. 



Ilindwing.'i : with only the outer lino, which is deeply inilented below the costa; 

 the olive and crimson speckling more profuse. 



Underside ])ale yellow; both wings with a bmad black submarginal fascia, not 

 quite reaching inner margin, its outer edge on forewings diffuse and speckled; fore- 

 wings with black cell-spot. Head pale ochreous; shoulders yellow, with red scales 

 intermixed; anteunae reddish ; patagia yellowish olive at base, varied towards apex 

 with black and grey scales ; thorax and abdomen yellowish ochreous, speckled with 

 red, the abdomen marked laterally and dorsally with black: abdomen beneath and

Forewings: green, the markings olive-brown; costal area pale ochreous, finely 

 speckled with darker; a small brown patch at liase, hardly touching costa; a zigzag 

 brown fascia at one-third, with angles inwards in cell and on the median vein, 

 outwards in cell and on submedian fold; a broad irregularly edged brown fascia 

 beyond two-thirds, on inner margin extending from anal angle almost to first fascia; 

 its inner edge with an angnlated sinus on vein 5, its outer with a small rounded sinus 

 between veins 6 and 7; an interrupted submarginal brown fascia, forming a small 

 blotch at apex, a larger dentate-edged one at middle, connected with another at anal 

 angle; the three fasciae are sometimes laterally connected by their angular edges; a 

 brown thick marginal line; fringe whitish, with a darker middle line, which is more 

 marked beyond each vein; some black scales above inner margin before anal angle; 

 an oblique dark streak on costa near base. 



Ilindwings : the same, but all the fasciae coalescing below vein 4 to form a 

 subquadrate blotch, marked with scattered black scales; a black blotch from costa 

 before aj)ex on middle fixscia, and a curved dark cloud into anal angle. 



Underside pale glaucous green, tinged with rufous ; the markings obscure, 

 except postmedian fascia, which is dull fuscous, with a darker streak along its inner 

 edge. 



Head and antennae rufous grey, mottleil with whitish; tiiorax green, witli the
