Fenude: Expanse 68 mm. Length 41 mm. 



Head broad, very large : eyes Jiirge, br<mdly contiguous, rich ohve greeu 

 above, bottle-green beneath : occiput small, black : iipper border of occi- 

 pital cavity fringed with short, stiff hairs : vesicle and clypeus brilliant 

 metallic green, the former very promim lit and broadly and shallow Jy not- 

 ched above: the ocelli poorly developeil, the lateral ones lying souiewhat 

 behind the vesicle : labrum lemon yellow : labial palps very large and foliate, 

 lemon-yellow at the base, brownish along the borders : labium large, trans- 

 versely oval, a dirty brown in colour. 



Protkoiax comparatively bulky, the lobe small, brown. 



Thorax narrow and comparatively small, brilliant metallic green with a 

 lateral bright lemon-yellow stripe and a triangular spot of the same colour 

 at the posterior border. Both of these markings are continuous under 

 the abdomen to meet those of the opposite side, the latter bearing a linear, 

 black mark about its middle. Thorux coated with short downy hair. 



Leys long and slim : femora 1 with a small tuft of hairs at its distal end, 

 black: femora ii black with yellow markings, spines stouter and more 

 numerous than those of femora 'A, the latter black, with a row of sparce, fine 

 hairs gradually lengthening towards the distal end : the yellow markings 

 on femora 1 more extensive than those on femora, 2. Anterior tibit« black, 

 the others yellow: tarsi black: claw-hooks well developed and at the 

 extreme end of the claws, making the latter appear as if bifid. 



Winr/s : forewings rounded at the apex and narrow : hindwings very 

 broad, with no tornus, the base being broadly rounded and approximating 

 to the shape of some of the male Euphoea : both hyaline with a faint 

 smokiness towards the apices and a rich amber suffusion towards the bases 

 extending as far as the distal end of the cubitus where it i;radual]y fades 

 away : node in forewing well distal to the middle of wing, in the hind, well 

 proximal ; antenodal ncrvures 12 to 13, the final complete : trigone of 

 both wings almost equilateral, the hind one consideral'ly larger than the 

 fore, the hind one well distal to the arc. both entire : arc between 2nd and 

 .3rd anteuodal uervures, a little distal to the 2nd ; sectors of arc in both 

 wings fused for a very long distance (rather more than 1 mm.) : one cubital 

 nervure in the forewing, 2 in the hind : subtrigone in the fore about the 

 same size as in the hindwing : hj'pertrigone of forewing traversed by one 

 nervure, that of the hind free: 4tli (i odal sector) and 5th (subnodal sector) 

 nervures very sharply con \ ex opposite the stigma : 5a of remarkable length 

 and reaching nearly to the termen : I row of cells between h and .Oa : 7a 

 absent : discoidal field narrow, broadly dilated at the termen, one row of 

 cells in its inner two-thirds ; anal loop small, only 9 cells, stunted, its 

 external angle a little external to the outer angle of the trigone: membrane 

 moderately large, white. Stigma small, 2 mm., lozenge-shaped as in the 

 Arjrionines. 



Abdomen moderately long and slender, 1st and 2nd segments ventro- 

 dorsally dilated, ord to the 6th attenuated and much compressed laterally, 

 7th, 8th and the yth markedly dilated and depressed, 10th very small, the 

 last few segments with a low keel. Black with a yellow, skull-like mark on 

 the dorsum of the 2nd segment, vory similar to that seen on the Thorax of 

 the Death's Head moth.
