¢ .—30 mm. 
Face green, mixed with reddish on outer side. Palpus 
mostly reddish, with some dark admixture; base beneath 
whitish. Vertex white, occiput green, a narrow red band 
between. Antennal pectinations very short, scarcely equal 
to diameter of shaft. ‘Thorax above green, beneath whitish. 
Abdomen above greenish, the first segment with a snow- 
white blackish-edged spot, the third and fourth with elongate, 
white, slenderly red-edged spots, the later segments with 
smaller and vaguer spots ; beneath white. (Hind legs lost.) 
Fore wing with termen strongly oblique, especially in its 
posterior part ; SC’ anastomosing shortly with C, M’ separate ; 
bright green ; costal edge narrowly snow-white, at base red 
mixed with black, apically underlined narrowly with red ; 
lines dull red, incomplete ; antemedian at one-fourth, marked 
chiefly by spots on SC and M, and a larger one on SM2-hind 
margin, the vestiges in cell and at fold angulated outward ; 
postmedian from nearly three-fourths costa to nearly two- 
thirds hind margin, incurved behind middle, consisting 
of distinct dashes on the veins and vague deep lunules 
inward between ; cell-dot dull red, not minute ; terminal line 
dull red, slightly interrupted at the veins except posteriorly, 
where it gradually thickens, reaching a width of nearly 1 mm. 
near tornus ; fringe proximally pure white, with triangular 
dark red spots, distally with a thick dull red line. 
Hind wing with termen feebly sinuate between the radials, 
slightly bent at R*®; M! almost connate ; concolorous with 
fore wing, antemedian line represented by a dot on M, the 
rest (except costally) nearly as on fore wing ; a moderate 
apical blotch reaching R’. 
Fore wing beneath pale green, becoming white at distal

Presumably referable to my “ lafayaria group ” (Gen. Ins. 
fasc. 129, p. 103), but somewhat aberrant in shape.
