extremities. Hind tarsi and the basal portion of the tibial hairs, 
black ; inwardly, the tarsi are obsoletely shaded with pale hairs. 
Thorax, above, entirely dark olive green, which color extends over 
the two basal segments of the abdomen above. Next four seg- 
ments above, very deep red, fringed sparsely anteriorly by short 
white hairs which are easily removed by attrition, appressed. Fifth 
and sixth segments with olive green lateral shades. The fifth and 
sixth, and the anal segment, show yellowish-white sub-tufts at the 
sides. Anal tuft, reddish in the middle, where the hairs are long- 
est ; black at the sides ; underneath, entirely bright red, where the 
hairs are more thinly spread out and shorter than above, allowing 
the lower black surface of the superior tuft to be seen. Under sur- 
face of abdomen, bright red; terminally a few yellowish white 
hairs, gathered on anal and pre-anal segments into small medial 
sub-tufts. Antennae, black, rather massive, gradually swelled to 
the tips, terminating in the usual extremely fine and reflected 
spinule; beneath, rugose or regularly serrated ; above, smooth. 
Anterior wings with the costa sub-sinuate, rounded at base, 
medially depressed, rising again to apices; external margin very 
oblique ; internal angle prominent. At extreme base these are 
covered with olive green hairs; beyond, dark red; costa and inter- 
nal margin bordered with dark red scales; centrally the pellucid 
tegument acquires in certain lights a bright blue reflection. The 
terminal band is obscure dark red, with its inner margin sinuate, not 
dentate, on the interspaces. The discal cell, retired towards the 
base of the wing as is usual in this genus, is nearly filled with dark 
red scales and but partially hyaline, but sufficiently so as to allow 
a distinct longitudinal bar to be seen, traversing the cell, appear- 
ing as the inward prolongation of first median nervule. Under 
surface of anterior wings, bright red, much paler than upper sur- 
face; terminally, the band is of an obscure tint, but along costa 
and over apical interspace the color is brighter. Internal margin 
bordered with paler, somewhat ochreous red scales, as is also the 
extreme base of the wing. 
Posterior wings, above, bright red, largely vitreous, the hyaline 
space crossed by six nervules. The narrow terminal band, along 
external margin, is deep red, shading to bright red over anal angle
