  below 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  patch 
  of 
  violet 
  scales. 
  The

  white 
  band 
  crossing 
  the 
  wings 
  vertically 
  to 
  the 
  

   lowest 
  median 
  nervule, 
  thence 
  curving 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  and 
  becoming 
  

   irrorated 
  with 
  silvery 
  bluish-green

  row 
  of

  nervule, 
  the

   green, 
  which 
  extends 
  beyond 
  the 
  fourth 
  spot 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  between 
  the 
  

   lowest 
  median 
  nervule 
  and 
  submedian 
  nervure 
  on 
  the 
  margin 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  greyish 
  

   space 
  irrorated 
  with 
  black 
  scales, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  black 
  spot 
  at 
  the 
  anal 
  

   angle 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  margin

  not 
  being 
  interrupted, 
  and 
  the 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   wings 
  becoming 
  linear 
  from 
  the

  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin.
