 the costa comparatively straiglit, the hind and inner margins conspicuously 

 and moderately strongly bordered with dusky brown ; the apical angle 

 obtuse, the hinder angle strongly rounded, with two rather broad transverse 

 shining whitish silvery markings towards the apex; the innermost just 

 beyond the discoidal cell moderately broad, extending from vein two to vein 

 ten, interrupted and intlexed at vein three and between veins 6 — 7; the 

 outermost about midway between the innermost and the hind margin, 

 narrower, parallel to the first, and extending from between veins 3 — 4 to

 extremity. Fore wing bright grass-green, with indistinct transverse wavy

 gins of discoidal cell ; irregular parallel series of transverse single linear

 green. Fore wing bright grass-green, with distinct irregular dusky brown 

 markings ; costa with live or six irregular brownish markings at intervals ; 

 an irregular W-like double brown marking just beyond the middle of the 

 discoidal cell ; a row of irregular transverse brown markings beyond the cell, 

 parallel to the hind margin ; of these one near the costa, at its basal five- 

 sevenths, is a rectangular interruption of the two outermost costal markings, 

 and another of the series is a double linear marking extending from veins 

 2 — 5, its inner outline interrupted at vein two ; a row of double irregular
