This beautiful little six'cies is of th((saine shape as in the iiime coninion 

 dull-greeu iV. grutata, but differs in the body and wings being usually of a 

 uniform deep ochreous-orange tint above and beneath. 



The specimen received from I\Ir. Lintmsr agrees with \Valker's descrip- 

 tion of J\. uicvrtdta. Both wings are above yellowish-green, and the fringe 

 is slightly reddish, but the wings lieiieath are deep orange; it is thus, when 

 seen aijove, apparently a variety of gratahu but l)eiieath is unmistakably 

 sxhcroceata. Specimens may still lie found to connect the two s])eeie.s. All 

 three species are much alike, and the ditlerences Itetween them very slight.

4 S and 4 9. — Dull deep green, with a single faint, whitish, wavy line 

 on the outer fourth of the wing, parallel with the outer edge of the wing. 

 (This line is sometimes wanting, and there are no other markings on the 

 wing in perfectly fresh specimens.) The fringe has a decided reddish tinge, 

 or is concolorous with the wing. Beneath paler than above, with no mark- 

 ings. Both wings are of the same hue, and the fringe iieneath is reddish. 

 Prothorax deep rusty-ochreous. Head whitish-ochreous on the vertex, 

 including the antenna'; front deep rust-l)rown. Palpi and legs ochreoiis.
