9- 75-90 mm., body 45 mm. Head and thorax green. Antennae 

 red. Abdomen, anterior half red, posterior half green. Forewings 

 pea-green, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; costa dotted with 

 short purplish-red bars and dots, and hind and inner margins bor- 

 dered with purplish-red line, interrupted near apex by veins ; pea- 

 green, and covered with narrow diffused rings of sea-green between 

 veins, which, in contrast to the enclosed ground-green, gives the 

 appearance of a tessellated pavement. This is more distinct and 

 regular in posterior half, and is more irregular and faintly marked 

 towards base. Two small discal spots of white, surrounded by 

 purple-brown border lines, obliquely to each other at opposite § 

 costa : cilia ochreous-purple. Hindwings salmon-pink, apex of 

 wing and hindmargin light olive-green ; cilia olive-brown.

 Scotti, Scott.
