Male. Upperside. Anterior wings black, with a broad yellowish-green 

 band extending along the costa and partly invading the cell, narrowest at the 

 base, but becoming wider in the middle and tapering towards the apex, which 

 it does not reach ; on the disc from the base and thence below the median 

 nervure to the inner margin is a yellowish-green triangular area, the apex of 

 which is a little above the lowest discoidal nervule ; this green area, between 

 the median nervules, does not extend to the median nervure, nor does it reach 

 the outer margin ; there is no stigmatic brand as in the 0. 1'riamus, Linn., group. 

 Posterior wings golden-yellow, with a black outer border, which is narrow along 

 the costa and becomes wider at the apex ; the outer edge of the yellow area is 

 golden-green, which colour extends inwardly along the veins ; beyond the 

 yellow area, w'hich extends rather beyond the lowest median nervule, to the 

 inner margin the wings are jet-black, the abdominal fold, which is bordered 

 basally by golden scales, being very wide ; on the disc towards the apex in the 

 yellow area between the veins are three large oval golden-green patches, in the 

 upper part of each of which is a black spot. 



Underside. Anterior wings golden-green, the costal, outer, and inner 

 margins broadly black, the veins black ; on the disc between the veins is a row
