Head above flat, fuscous; beneath flavescent, with a black margin : 
thorax fuscous, immaculate : tegmina fuscous, exterior margin virescent, 
which colour, however, does not reach the apex of the wing: there are 
five black dots along this margin of which the four posterior end in- 
wards in a fulvous dot: wings sanguineous, fuscous at the apex (Mabri- 
clus). 
Head above flat, obscure ; beneath, yellowish, border black : thorax 
obscure immaculate: tegmina obscure with the costal margin greenish 
which does not extend to the apex, on this part are five black spots of 
which the four posterior are bounded internally by a tawny spot: wings 
sanguineous with the apex obscure (Olivier). Donovan states that the 
tegmina have a green margin on which there are a few black spots 
semicircled with orange. Long, 17 millims. 
The Indian Museum possesses a very mutilated specimen.
