Jdolias Confucius, Westwood, "Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera," p. 291, 

 n. 16, note (1850). 



Exp. 4 inches. 



Femak. Upperside olive-green, hind margins rather strongly dentated, 

 and the incisions marked with white. 



Anterior wings with the cell crossed by a basal line, and two paired lines 

 partially connected beneath, the first followed below by a ring and a streak. A 

 broad oblique stramineous band, divided into spots by the nervures, runs from 

 the costa to the lowest discoidal nervule ; below it two obsolete dusky bands run 

 to the inner margin. Between the band and the apex are three spots of a paler 

 yellow, the middle the largest, the lowest reduced to a dot. 



Posterior wings with two obsolete brown stripes beyond the middle ; towards 

 the apex, above the inner stripe, is the commencement of a yellow band, divided 

 by the nervures, and ending in a small dot below the first subcostal nervule ; 

 cell closed by two parallel black lines, close together. 



Underside pale greenish-blue, with basal lines as described in E. Omeia. 

 (iufra.) Costa and nervures inclining to ferruginous. Anterior wings with 

 the band and spots as above, but paler; the baud edged with black within, 

 rather broadly towards the inner margin ; the spots bordered outside by a zigzag 

 black line, which curves inwards below, and borders the lower part of the band 

 on the outside. Apical third of the wing, beyond the band, greenish. 



Posterior wings crossed beyond the middle l)y two zigzag black lines (the 

 outermost nearly obsolete above) eiicloshig a pale greenish-blue space, the 

 upper part of which is marked by a whitish spot, divided into three by the 

 nervures, the first linear, the third macular. There is also a slightly waved 

 dusky band nearer the hind margin. Outside the band the ferruginous nervures 

 are more or less bordered with greenish, and are marked at the extremity with 

 black, between the white incisions.
