palliata and in the size of the blotches with ustipennis ; so that there can be no 

 doubt that the two are sexes of the same species. The green tint of the lines is 

 visible only in the ? , their course being marked in the c? only by the red vein dots ; 

 the outer line of dots, owing to the larger size of the marginal red blotch, passes 

 through it and is obscured iu the c?. The vertex and shoulders are both jiale green; 

 the fillet narrowly white. The 6 from Sierra Leone differs slightly from the Warri 

 c? in the outline of the dark blotch of hindwings, and iu the extent to which the 

 dark markings are represented on the underside.
