This elegant and conspicuous insect varies considerably in size : its upper wings 

 above are yellow, with four black spots, of which the outer one is nearly 

 round and smaller, the two next transverse and parallel to each other, the 

 fourth is of a triangular form and occupies the entire base of the wing, this 

 last is irrorated or spotted with yellow : the costa itself and the nervures^ 

 which are much dilated, are black: the hinder margin is black irrorated 

 with yellow, and adorned with eight lunulated spots of the same colour ; the 

 margin itself is a little dentated and yellow, interrupted with black. The 

 under wings are strongly dentate and tailed : their ground colour is yellow,
