Much the appearance of Pap. Paris. Expanse 4.38 inches. The 

 shining spot is much larger, more sinuated posteriorly, nearly touching 

 the outer margin, and produced interiorly in a point, reaching almost 

 to the abdominal margin. The violet arc in the iris of the anal ocellus 

 is much more distinct than in Paris ; tail, much less, and the large 

 brilliant patch on the hind wings, has a changeable green tinge ; in- 

 dentations, yellowish-white. 



Below, the transverse fasciae of the fore wings are not so broad, and 

 become yellowish. Hind wings have the violet arcs of the marginal 

 oeellate spots much larger, and situated anterior to, instead of within 

 the iris, as in Paris.
