streaks which are edged inside with green, outside with 

 Avhite ; first line rather oblique, broken into a series of thick

 curved and oblique, formed into a full series of thick black 

 crescents bordered outwardly by a faint purple-grey stripe ; 

 subterminal line white, often tinged in its upper portion 

 with light green, strongly angulated above the anal angle of 

 the wing, and there edged inwardly by a large green blotch, 

 and often just above this by another ; orbicular stigma tri- 

 angular, smoky-green, edged with white and with black; 

 reniform stigma very large, green clouded with black, en-

 Hind wings whitish-brown at the base, shading off to dark 

 smoky-brown along the hind marginal region ; nervures near
