This species has very much the appearance of a large CaUipliora. 

 Tlie head, thorax and abdomen are closely applied to one another, 

 answering to Walker's expression "body subfusiform " ; in his 

 " wings acute " is another point of resemblance, and in the 

 purplish-blue colour of the only species previously known, 

 chnlcopyga, Wied., lies a final point of similarity with A. cyanea.
