sap-green stripes enclosing irregularly undulated black lines, 

 these stripes are wide apart and enclose an almost circular area 

 in their upper half, but run nearly parallel below the median 

 vein and its fii'st branch, and are almost obliterated by snow- 

 white scales towards the costa ; a submarginal series of 

 sap-green spots, and a marginal series of similar spots but for 

 the most part enclosing black lunules ; fringe indistinctly spotted 

 with grey ; secondaries pale greyish brown Avith whity-brown, 

 external border; thorax reddish ohvaceous sprinkled with white ;

I have very little doubt that the female above indicated 

 belongs to this species, but it is a good deal Avorn.
