4 9. — This is a larger species than 5-/(f/«/«, with more produced acute 

 line wings and much more angular hind wings, as well as more distinct 

 markini.'■^^. Front edge of prothora.x and jialpi and legs deep ochreous. 

 Front of head reddish. Wings deep sea-green, of the same tint as in 

 iV. ni-dUita. ("osta of fore wings tinged with reddish on the extreme edge 

 (no inner line to he seen in my s[)ecimens). An outer line common to l)oth 

 wings, at ai>out tlie .same relative distance from the outer edge as in g rat at a ; 

 the line on the foi-e wings is a little sinuous, when a little efiliced represented 

 l)y venular dots; on the hind wings, the line is bent at nearly right angles 

 following the outline of the outer edge. The fringe on lioth wings is rather 

 long and unusually reddish (but in one case pale-green). Beneath, both 

 wings are unitormly jiale jiea-green, with the costaof the t()re wings distinctly 

 yellowish ; the fringe is reddish, as above. I'xitli wings w ili> very iinni discal

This pi-etf_\ species is larger, with more angular wings, than in iV. grd- 

 tdtii, and the costa of the foie wings is reddish al)ove and yellow beneath, 

 though the general lint o! the wings is the isame as in the two species. It 

 agrees well w ith Guenee s description, except that there is in my examples 

 no "external second line on the tore wings'', as he states. His description 

 is based on a sin;jlf "9 <-n /»</"ri/>.s r/r/f''.
