The Chinese examples which I have examined difler slightly, but apparently 

 constantly, from the Indian ones in the submarginal band on the ujiperside of the 

 forewings being shorter, narrower, and less bright green, iu the rufous ochraeeous 

 marginal spots to the hin<hvings below being more or less obliterated, and in tlie 

 marginal internervular fringe of the hindwings being less extended white. 



In the female the green band of the forewings is of a paler colour than in the 

 male, owing to the green scales being intermixed with many creamy buff ones ; the red 

 sulimarginal spots of the upperside of the hiudwings are larger than in the other sex.
