liindinargin, thence turns abruptly inward to meet the 2nd line 

 at h inner margin. In some specimens the space included by 

 these last two lines is so largely irrorated with black as almost 

 to form a fascia. Beyond the third line are black bars running 

 between and parallel with veins, those toward inner margin 

 are shorter and lighter. A shading of dark grey from middle 

 of third line obliquely to apex of wing ; a dark shading from f 

 of third line obliquely to ^ hindmargin — in some specimens more 

 or less darkly shaded and diffused to hindmargin. Cilia grey, 

 barred with darker grey. Hindwings brownish grey, moderated 

 by a shading of light smoky-grey, darker on inner margin ; 

 veins dark grey. Cilia as forewings ; underside of wing grey- 

 white. Hairs on inner margin very long.

c?. 17 mm. Head pale reddish ochreous, fillet white, 

 face ochreous. Antennae white ; pectinations 0, ochreous. 

 Thorax light bluish-green. Abdomen light blue-green, with 

 white on posterior segments. Legs blue-green, whitish beneath. 

 Forewings with costa gently rounded, hindmargin rounded ; 

 light-green with two pale glaucous green double bands ; costal 

 edge white ; a double pale glaucous green line wavy, more 

 diverse at costa and containing a lighter green shading than 

 ground colour from f costa to -| inner margin ; the anterior line 

 is nearer base and is less distinctly marked ; a second duplicated 

 sinuous denticulated line from f costa to f of inner margin, 

 duplicated immediately beyond, to contain a lighter band of 

 green than ground colour — the posterior line is less distinctly 

 marked ; a pale ferruginous discal spot just before ^ costa at a 

 distance of one-third across wing ; cilia ferruginous finely tipped 

 with white. Hindwings as forewings, 1st line not clearly 

 marked ; 2nd line sinuous and denticulate from f costa to | inner 

 margin, indefinitely duplicated ; a large size pale ferruginous 

 discal spot opposite costa at ^ and one-third depth of wing from 

 costa. Cilia ferruginous finely tipped with white.
