across the back with pale green ; lateral and anal tufts white. 

 Fore wdngs not verj^ broad, elongated, costa very slightly 

 arched throughout ; apex bluntly angulated ; hind margin 

 very even, oblique and gently curved ; anal angle rather fully 

 formed ; dorsal margin very gently rounded and softly 

 ciliated; soft delicate green ; the extreme edge of the costa 

 of the pale fulvons of the collar ; first line yellowish-white, 

 very incomplete, showing only as whitish curves between 

 nervures ; second line more distinct, white or pinkish-white, 

 rippled, nearly direct, and disposed throughout in slendei' 

 flattened curves between nervures, }'et scarcely attaining the 

 costa; discal spot distinct, rounded, white; cilia green tipped 

 with white. Hind wings rather elongated, smoothly rounded

 series of white crescents Body green, but the abdomen 

 ])aler; tibias green; tarsi brownish-white, shaded with pale

 second line, but in the collection of Mr. F. J. Hanbury is a 

 Bi)ecimen devoid of both transverse white lines.

 specimen of a Second generation has been reared, by Mr. H, J.
