base of the wing. Ground color of the wing dusky olivaceous; costa 

 and terminal space obscure brownish. Nervules indefinitely marked 

 with fuscous scales. The oblique fascia sends off a branch before costa 

 to the apex, and outwardly, before internal margin, is divided narrowly 

 by olivaceous scales which cause an outward parallel line to appear. 

 A discal spot, enclosed by fuscous scales above the central fascia. A 

 narrow, transverse, fuscous line intersects the olivaceous space on in- 

 ternal margin, running straightly from the central parallel fascia to in- 

 ternal margin and forming the inner defining line of the V-shaped 

 patch on internal margin which is characteristic of the genus. 



Posterior wings dull pale greenish inwardly. Along the external 

 margin, from costal angle to medio-posterior nervule, is a broad termi- 

 nal pink band, within which a broad black fascia, interrupted by green- 

 ish scales on the nervules, and terminating below medio-posterior ner- 

 vule, in two narrow lines, outside of which latter is a brownish square 

 space above anal angle. Internal margin and anal angle, largely pink ; 

 two large black spots below the disc, merely separated by a few pink 

 scales ; a few white scales within the terminal black lines above ar.al 

 angle.

Wings broader and more rounded. Anterior wings with the exter- 

 nal maririn undulate and rounded. An irreg-ular broad fuscous fascia, 

 lined inwardly with whitish scales, runs from costa, before apex, to in- 

 ternal margin, enclosing an irregular, coincident, darker, outward line 

 of scales, and sending off" a more yellowish broad branch, before costa, 

 to apex. First, second and third inferior median nervules marked with 

 fuscous and whitish scales. A broad, darker, parallel, fuscous fascia 

 runs from the base of the wing to the first, which it nearly attains 

 beyond the disc, but is separated by a few olivaceous scales. Ground 

 color of the wing, dark intense olivaceous. Costa and terminal space, 

 obscure brownish. Two olivaceous discal dots, enclosed by fuscous 

 scales above the central fascia. A geminate, fuscous, irregular, trans- 

 verse band runs from costa to internal margin, angulate above the cen- 

 tral fascia, and forming, on internal margin, the inner defining limit to 

 the olivaceous V-shaped patch which is characteristic of the genus. 



Posterior wings light green; a large rose-colored space on anal angle 

 and along internal margin ; a large rectangular black spot within; two 

 narrow median lines, the inner — black, most distinct, and joining the 

 large black spot at the outer inferior angle, the outer — faint, glaucous,
