 rather fiat, and, with the head and neck-ridge, ])ale greenish-

 very short, blunt and (latlened; abdomen short and slender, 

 silvery-grey, the tufts at the edges of the segments on the

 is ])receded by three parallel blue-black lines emphasised by 

 short blacker streaks on the nervures, the s]iaees between 

 them, and also to the first line, much dusted with blue-black, 

 yet a space next the costa left free; thus a rather incomplete

 the outside by a cloudy rippled white subterminal line whicii 

 is placed very far back ; along the extreme hind margin is a

 greenish-white. Hind wings narrow and rather small,
