oblique macular band beyond cell, between veins 2 and 7 ; a brilliant

May at once be distinguished from any other species of 

 Trichura by the fulvous extremity of anal appendage.

 spot on vertex, coxae and streaks on femora greyish white ; abdomen 

 shot with brilliant blue ; dorsal and lateral bluish grey lines ; anal

 shot with brilliant blue. Fore wings with wedge-shaped hyaline 

 patches in and below cell and between veins 2 and 3 ; a slightly

 and about cell. Hind wing with costal half whitish ; below with basal 

 costal region metallic green.

May be distinguished from other species of the genus by
