green bands glossed with golden-yellow, one below the costa, 

 and the other between the cell and the sub-median nervure, 

 curving upwards opposite the hind-margin. There is also a 

 short green band on the inner-margin The hind-wings are 

 green, more suffused with orange-yellow than the fore-wings, 

 and narrowly bordered outside with black, the base and inner-

 white spots on the fore-wings, decreasing in size, and converg- 

 ing towards the hinder angle. Hind-wings with a pale sub- 

 marginal band, extending across the lower half of the wing, but 

 much incurved towards the costa ; the outer part is yellow, 

 shading within to bluish-grey and whitish ; across it runs a row

 Tro^onopfera, Rippon, Icones Ornlth. part ii. (1890). 

 Fore-wings longer and narrower than in Schoenbergia, the 

 apex rounded off, the hinder angle well-marked ; cell very long 

 and narrow ; third sub-costal thrown off in both sexes at the 

 end of the cell ; fourth and fifth forking at about one-fifth of 

 the distance from the cell to their extremities. Hind-wings 

 slightly oval, dentated, and in the male slightly projecting at 

 the anal angle. No patch of raised scales on the fore-wings of
