 green blotches. Legs whitish; anterior pair fuscous, anterior

 triangular, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen bowed, 

 oblique; bright green with transverse fuscous lines variably 

 developed; an interrupted line close to base; three lines 

 forming a subbasal band, followed by a single slender line, 

 and this again by a broad antemedian line at ^, expanded 

 on costa; median area sometimes pure green, sometimes suffused 

 with fuscous; postmedian line from ^ costa to J dorsum, bowed 

 outwards in disc; followed shortly by a subterminal band of three 

 closely approximated lines; cilia whitish, obscurely fuscous on

 dorsum and termen suffused with fuscous and green; cilia whitish. 

 Underside whitish; forewings suffused with grey towards costa

Not near any other Australian species. The sharp contrast 

 between fore and hindwings is a striking character. Possibly 

 the male might show structural differences.
