Female. Upperside greenish-brown, with a common white hand, divided 

 into spots by the nervures, interrupted and set inwards below the cell of the 

 anterior wings ; tlie last spot above the inner margin of the anterior wings, and 

 tlie l)and on the posterior wings, are greenish ; the lattar ends in a point above 

 the usual suljanal spot. Anterior wings with a white spot near the apex, a white 

 dot below it, and a row of four submarginal spots towards the hinder angle ; 

 the first of these is whitish, and nearer the base than the others, which are 

 tawnv ; between the second spot and the central band is a large obsolete l)]ack 

 spot. Posterior wings with narrow dull tawny-brown marginal and submarginal 



fasciae.

 margin, all the pale markings are white, with hardly any tawny shade ; the 

 bands are mostly bordered with greenish-yellow ; above the lowest branch of 

 the median nervure is a very large black spot in a yellowish ring. The posterior 

 wings are traversed by two nearly straight and parallel greenish-yellow lines, 

 between which the space is of a more silvery-green than the rest of the wing, 

 and corresponds to the pale stripe of the upperside ; the outer stripe is more 

 diffused than the other, and passes over the black subanal ocellus, which has a 

 white pupil and a broad orange-yellow iris ; at the anal angle it joins the con- 

 tinuous greenish-yellow submarginal line.
