Imaco.—Male and female. Upperside pale olivescent-yellow. Forewing with 
the base of the costa slightly infuscated; an indistinct slender black streak on upper 
end of the discocellulars ; the whole apical border broadly purpurescent-black ; the 
inner edge of the black border irregularly simuous, commencing on the costa beyond 
the cell, curving outward and rapidly decreasing to a narrow lunule above end of the 
submedian vein; below the apex is an oblique more-or-less lunate white spot. 
Hindwing with a submarginal row of narrow greenish lunules, the three upper of 
which are disconnected, and with thickly black-spotted edges, the lower lunules 
being paler, connected, their ends extending to the point of the veins are but slightly 
black speckled, and show a slender white inner streak. Body pale olivescent-yellow ;

larger broken upper black spot within the cell ; a lunate black-edged bluish-centred 
lunule and a slender contiguous streak in front at end of the cell, below which is a 
larger bluish-centred black-edged round spot between the middle and lower medians, 
beyond which are two short slender excurved subapical black streaks below the 
subcostal, followed by a submarginal row of slender bluish-grey speckled lunules, 
and a parallel row of small rich ochreous dentate spots. Hindwing with a large 
blue-centred black-edged round spot on middle of the costa, a similar small spot 
below it, but which latter is sometimes absent ; a slender black-edged lunate mark 
at end of the cell, and lower slender black streaks extending to above the anal angle ; 
followed by a submarginal row of bluish-grey lunules, a parallel row of dark rich
