Size aud general form of Turmis ; primaries more produced, more falcated ; 

 secondaries deeply dentated, many-tailed. 



Male. — Expands about 4 inches. 



Upper side bright yellow, banded with black after the same pattern as Tvrnus 

 and Eurymedon ; the costal and discal bands more delicate than in those species ; 

 co.sta of primaries black, sprinkled with A-ellow ; a narrow band covers the bases 

 of wings and the abdominal margin ; a second, proceeding from costa at about 

 two fifths the length of cell, crosses both wings and joins the first at lower branch 

 of median nervure, broad anteriorly, tapering gradually, sometimes restricted to 

 a narrow stripe or a line on secondaries ; a third crosses the cell to sub-median 

 nervure, but often is more or less obsolete below the cell, or represented hj a 

 few scales only ; a fourth covers the arc ; in the costal interspace a club-shaped 

 spot, inclosing a yellow stripe, and lying along the costal nervure, ending at the 

 marginal border ; sometimes black patches on the discoidal nervules ; hind mar- 

 gins bordered by a broad common band, within which, on primaries, is a narrow 

 yellow band, t,apering from costa to inner angle, divided into spots by the bla<;k 

 nervules ; anterior to this a line of gi-ayish-green scales, sometimes wanting ; on 

 secondaries are lour wedge-shaped or lunate, sub-marginal, yellow spots, the one 

 at outer angle small, sometimes a point only ; a fifth spot on second median in- 

 terspace, lunate, somewhat washed with fulvous ; and a sixth, also lunate, wholly 

 fulvous, near angle ; above the angle the margin is excised and edged with 

 fulvous ; above this, on the black ground, a small cluster of blue scales, and an 

 orange spot ; in the median interspaces, within the marginal band, are patches of 

 blue scales, and sometimes smaller clusters are found in each interspace to cos- 

 tal edge ; the disco-cellular nervules more or less edged on the inner side by 

 black ; the exterior tail is long, narrow, convex outwardly ; the second is two 

 fifths the length of the first, straight, narrow ; the third, at the angle, is haH" the 

 length of the second ; fringe of primaries black, of secondaries black at ends of 

 nervules, yellow in the emarginations.
