The green fore wings and the two black, parallel, twin slashes in tl)e 

 extradiscal space of the fore wing separate this species from any other. 

 Zeller remarks that it is related to Cidaria didymatn (Linn.). 



One of my specimens is the type of Professor Zeller, received from the 

 i\Inseuni of Corajiarative Zoology.
