TVin^s, above : black and greenish white or yellowish white. Forewing : 



elongate, but apex rounded; greenisli white discal band about 11 mm. broad at SM", 

 its outer edge somewhat concave, band touching M at base of W, partition R' — M' 

 costally convex, separated from W by a black interspace of about 1 mm. widtli, 

 discal spot R-'— R^ clos(^ to cell, isolated, elongate, dimensions about '^ : li mm., 

 discal spots SC° — R" close together, nearer postdiscal spots than cell, upper one a 

 little longer than the second, extending more basad; some white scales in upper half 

 of cell and also a few in middle of costal margin ; a series of 8 yellowish white 

 ])Ostdiscal s])ots, parallel to edge of wing, the last two fused, upper four smaller than 



posterior four ; no submarginal spots. Hindwing : base as for as origiu of R' 



black, this small black area across M along (SM') about half way to outer black 

 area whicli it seldom almost tonches : abdominal fold greenish white, somewhat 

 slightly blackish at base; outer edge of greenish white discal area obliipie from C to 

 R^, straight or faintly concave, then somewhat concave between veins; disco-marginal 

 black area 9 mm. broad at R', 8 mm. at M', including a series of rather large, 

 yellowish white, admarginal spots, the upper three more or less square, the following 

 three longer, oblique, pointed at ends, anal one more yellow, large, about 2J, mm. 

 l)road; at outer side of these spots, except anal ones, there are pale blue scales which 

 form heavy streaks in tails, black edge of wing about as broad as the admarginal 

 spots or narrower, at anal angle it forms a thin line ; in black disco-marginal band 

 there are, between M" and SM", two pale bine lines, one close to inner edge of black 

 band, marking the outer border of the discal bar, the other close ti) pale yellow anal 

 spot, generally divided, representing tlie submarginal series of white spots present 

 in allied species ; outline of wing triangular, outer margin not dentate at veins, 

 upper tail (10 mm.) longer than second (6 to 7 mm.). 



Underside greyish silvery white, faintly vinaceous ; the white markings which 

 correspond to those of npperside more greenish except at edges, scales of these 



greenish parts narrow. Forewing : costal margin white at base, but C blackish ; 



cell greyish, with numerous small black dots, the cell-bar of the allied species 

 vestigial opposite point of origiu of M'-, but the place wliere it .should be is indicated 

 by the proximal edge of a band of bistre colour, which is about 2A mm. broad and 

 has about the form of the letter Y with the disco-cellular branch very short; this 

 band is bordered ontwardly by the three continuous black median bars, which line 

 crosses M- about 2i mm. from base of M-, touches M before base of M' and then 

 runs distad, parallel to R', the discal branch of the band is bordered in front of R^ 

 by median bar R-— R^, which runs here along R^ and is continuous with bar D; there 

 are some black scales behind R'' which represent the upper end of median bar 

 R'^ — R', the greenish white spot in front of R' as above, median bars SO' — R' 8 mm. 

 from end of cell, each with a triangular patch of bistre colour at jiroximal side and 

 a greenisli white spot at outside (as above) ; discal black bars almost straight, 

 forming a scarcely interrupted line which is parallel to, and is situated G mm. from, 

 outer margin of wing; this line forms the distal border of a band of bistre colour of 

 2 to 2\ mm. width, the proximal edge of which is slightly convex between veins; the 

 postdiscal spots of the upjjcrside are visible below, all are bordered distally by thin, 

 black, postdiscal, curved lines the ends of which are pointing basad ; a marginal baud 

 of bistre colour 2 to 21 mm. broad, faintly edged proximally with tawny ochracoous, 



slightly indented at veins. Hindwing : costal submedian bar vestigial at PC, 



subraedian bars C — (SM') nearly continuous, crossing SC' close to base of this vein, 

 bar M — (SM') almost at right angles to M ; median bars continuous, the bars down
