 with black ; pairs of black dots on hindmargin at the cuds of the veins ; fringe 

 green, chequered with dark beyond veins ; cell-spot small, blackish ; the fascia 

 between basal patch and central fascia is traversed by a central blackish and two 

 greenish lines, most distinct on costa. 



Ilindwings : whitisli, with pale grey narrow snbmarginal band and faint 

 marginal dots in pairs; fringe whitish; abdominal area greyish-tinged; the tnft 

 of hairs ochreous. 



Underside dirty whitish in forewiug ; traces of the three outer lines of central 

 fascia ; cell-spot blackish, linear ; costa dotted with black ; a blackish apical blotch, 

 not quite reaching the apex itself, through which the snbmarginal line is marked 

 by four pale spots ; hindwings clearer white, with dark cell-spot, dotted postmedian 

 line, and distinct submargiual band ; fringes of both wings whitish, with interrupted 

 blackish marginal line at base. Face, pali>i, thorax, and abdomen pale green ; 

 abdomen dotted with black and with a black basal band beyond metathoras ;

 Hue ; curved band between basal patch and central fascia whitish green, traversed 

 by two darker lines ; central fascia with three dark lines on its inner edge and four 

 on its outer ; the central area generally paler, and partially annular; on the costa 

 the fascia is green, becoming rufous in the cell, and below, the veins above inner 

 margin marked with dark scales ; its outer edge is angled below subcostal vein and 

 again at vein 4, concave between ; the pale band following it contains two or three 

 confusedly denticulate green lines ; snbmarginal line white, interrupted, preceded 

 by irregular dark rufous and fuscous blotches ; marginal area green, with a pale 

 diffuse oblique apical streak ; pairs of black dashes on margin at the ends of the 

 veins with submargiual dashes between them, these last often connected with the 

 dark outer edging of the luuules of the snbmarginal line ; fringe olive-green mottled 

 with darker beyond the veins. 



Hindwings : pure satiny white above and below. 



Underside of forewings glossy, whitish towards inner margin, smeared with 

 dark grey towards costa ; external lines of central fascia, and the submargiual fascia 

 on the costa bright red, as are the subapical veins, between which the white 

 submargiual line is preceded by a blackish cloud. Head and thorax mottled light 

 and dark green ; face paler ; abdomen ochreous grey. 



Exjianse of wings : 3.5 mm.
