 rufous ; basal patch small, edged by an olive-green band with dark margins ; 

 central fascia with inner baud narrow, olive-green, traversed by three black lines, the

 four blackish lines ; central space white from costa to inner margin, containing an 

 obscure dark cell-spot ; submargiual line lunulate, pale, traversing a mixed rufous 

 and greenish shade, preceded and followed beyond cell by blackish blotches ; 

 marginal line black, interrupted ; fringe pinkish ochreous, cher[uered with olive- 

 green beyond the veins. 



Ilin<lwi»(js : whitish, with some greyish scales near base; abdominal tuft 

 whitish, surrounded by a bed of rufous scales ; fringe white.

Forewings : dull olive-green, crossed by irregular dentate-lnnulate darker green 

 lines, which along costa and on the veins in places deepen into black ; two basal, 

 and three extra-basal, sharply auglod outwards on veins and folds, lunulate between; 

 filled up with deeper green, so as to form two bands, with a paler green space 

 between and at base ; central fascia with the inner edge formed of three, and the 

 outer of four dark lines, also deepened into bands by darker green between them, 

 the outer four running in below middle and coalescing with the inner three, so that 

 the width of the central fascia on inner margin is only oue-third of its costal 

 breadth ; space between basal patch and central fascia and centre of fascia itself 

 above the median pale green; cell-spot linear, black, distinct; central fascia followed 

 by three obscurely lunulate olive-green lines ; submargiual line dentate, pale green, 

 indicated mainly by dark-green wedge-shaped blotches marked with black before 

 and after, these being most distinct at costa and bej'ond cell ; two black marginal 

 spots at end of each vein, and a black spot beyond each in the pale-green fringe.
