colour, except at tlieir lower part, which is brown. The hind 

 M'ings are also of the same green colour, with a row of minute 

 white clots, forming a more or less complete streak near the 

 middle, but outside it, following the shape of the margin. In 

 some specimens the dots are almost obsolete. The tail is very 

 short, and hardly distinguishable from the other indentations 

 which border these wings. Mr. Stephens describes a variety 

 in which the fore wings have a row of white dots on their 

 front margin. 



The female resembles the male. 



The caterpillar is light green, with rows of triangular yellow 

 spots on the sides: the head is black.
