TRIFID^. 103 



well rounded, apex bluntly rounded, almost angulated ; hind 

 margin full, curved, not very oblique ; dorsal margin nearly 

 straight; colour bright light green, much marbled with 

 black toward the base, the centre, and the hind margin ; 

 basal line short, forming two curves, black ; space in the 

 curves greenish-white ; immediately beyond it is a duplicate 

 line, the intermediate space also greenish-white ; first line 

 oblique, much indented, deep black, preceded by a fainter 

 parallel line, the enclosed space greenish-white ; second line 

 not very oblique, black, much indented, followed by a more 

 obscure partly parallel line with the greenish-white enclosed 

 stripe, which expands above the middle, outside the reniform 

 stigma, into a large greenish-white ovate blotch ; subterminal 

 line a series of irregular yellowish-green clouds edged 

 inwardly with dusky-black, and just above the middle by a 

 pair of deep black dots, at the costa terminating in a double 

 deep black streak or spot before the apex ; orbicular and 

 reniform stigmata both large, greenish, edged with black 

 and clouded with blackish or purplish-grey ; claviform stigma 

 broad, green margined with black, but frequent^ obscure 

 or even obsolete ; the space around these stigmata more 

 marbled with black than elsewhere ; on the costa, froto the 

 first to the second line, are five black spots ; beyond these 

 three pale green dots in a blacker edging, and the costa is 

 otherwise much clouded with blackish-green ; the nervures 

 through the middle of the wing and in the hind marginal 

 space are blackened, the latter broadly so ; extreme hind 

 margin edged with black lunules ; cilia green, dashed with 

 dusky-black. Hind wings broad, with the hind margin 

 rather sinuous, smoky-brown, paler toward the base ; cilia 

 white. Female slightly stouter but quite similar. 



Underside of the fore wings pale smok3'-grey with a 

 reddish tinge ; reniform stigma large, smoky-black ; from it 

 a dark cloud runs through the discal cell ; touching the 

 stigma — bending in for that purpose — is a transverse 

 blackish stripe ; nearer the hind margin is another, similar
