Perty's fignre is bswl ; the description applies doubtless to this species, not td 

 smt'rinthoifles, as the underside of the forewing is said to be brown in the middle. 

 The dirty-green colour changes easily into ochraceons ; in Perty's figure the fore- 

 wings are of this colour. Boisduval's description of smerintkoides is based on a tawny 

 specimen of chloroptera. The sexes are similar, but the space between the ante- 

 median and discal lines is on the whole broader in the ? than in the S , and the 

 Idbe of the costal margin of the hindwing is rather more prominent in the S. 



S. Tenth tergite with the sides concave, apex sinuate, lobes rounded ; sternite 

 about twice as long as the tergite, curving downward, sharply pointed, margin 

 elevate in middle (PI. XLIII. f. 4. .J). Right harjie jnst reaching to end of clasi)er ; 

 left harpe shorter (PI. XLVI. f. 0) : both cylindrical, acuminate, horizontal, not 

 much curved ; clasper straight above, rounded lielow and at apex ; patch of friction- 

 scales distinct. Penis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. ','1) with a short, obtuse, apical process 

 which is densely dentate at tlie end on the upperside. 



2. Vaginal plate small, trapezoidal, apical edge somewhat angled in middle ; 

 orifice in a large cavity covered in front and at the sides by a high, thin ridge. 



Early stages not known.

(S ? . Diifers from cldoroptera in the following ptiiuts : 



Forewing with a rounded lobe at M' besides the lobe R% no tooth at il'-', hinder 

 angle, therei'ore, more rounded ; a spot of white scales behind costal margin about 

 midway between fork and apex, a larger submargiual patch of similar upper scales 

 between Ri and R', both spots not very distinct. Black border of iiindwing dentate 

 before R-, and more or less also between R-' and M-, almost vanishing behind M', 

 here replaced by the ground-colour of the wing. Distal margin sinuate l)efore ;ui;il 

 angle. Forewing below without blackish discal area. 



S. Process of penis-sheath thinner, somewhat triangular, twisted, dentate only 

 at edge. Clasper with short friction-scales, which are concealed in ventral view by 

 a crest of prolonged ordinary scales as in carinata.
