Wings black, marked with a number of greenish-yelluw or sea-green 

 spots, oval or puuctiform, excepting those at the base of the seconda- 

 ries, which are linear and parallel with the axis of the body ; of the 

 others, eight are contained in the discoidal cellule of the anterior wings, 

 the outer margin of which is sinuate, and the remainder may be consi- 

 dered as forming two transverse rows upon the disc on both primaries 

 and secondaries; those upon the secondaries being of nearly equal size, 

 but the inner row on the primaries is much the largest, the spots, ex- 

 cepting the two nearest the inner margin, which are again contracted, 

 dilating considerably towards the middle of the disc; the two terminal 

 spots in this line are each divided into two parts, more or less separated 

 by the nervures or a black line, though in some specimens they are 

 confluent. Posterior wings have a short acute tail, varying somewhat 

 in length ; indentations white or yellowish. 



"Below, brownish, with the greatest part of the spots of a paler hue. 

 On the primaries, the origin of the costal nervure, the middle and apex 

 of the wings, together with the base of the secondaries, are irrorated 

 with reddish-violet ; the posterior wings have near the costal edge, a 

 little black spot, preceded anteriorly by a carmine-red lunule, and a little 

 behind this, on the border of the discoidal cell, a similar spot; the mid- 

 dle of a deeper color than the rest of the surface; a red spot in the fe- 

 male only, near the anal angle. 



" Body black, with two grayish-green rays upon the thorax and ab- 

 domen; white below, with rosy or white hairs upon the breast." — Boisd.
