? . Body black, long hairs of meso-metanotuiu and abdomen somewhat 

 olivaceons ; abdomen tawny-ochraceons, more tawny above, middle of first tergites 

 black, the area narrowing behind, base of underside of abdomen also black. 



Wings, upperside, deep black, slightly bluish in side-light. Forewing : 



costa occasionally tawny near base ; markings greenish white, except the sub- 

 marginal ones, which are white ; a large patch at apex of cell, transverse, oblique 

 (ill accordance with the oblique position of the cross-veins), variable in width, but 

 never separated into spots ; discal spots SC*-^ — SM^ all separate, or spots M^ — SM- 

 partly fused, the first three spots the smallest, the second being a mere line or dot 

 or being altogether absent, spot 11- — R^ reaching base or close to base of cellule, 

 sinuate distally, spot R' — M' longer than spot R" — R^, reaching farther prosimad 

 as well as distad, spot M' — M^ the longest of all, but not so broad as spot R' — M', 

 reaching proximally beyond the middle of spot R^ — -M' ; a conspicuous isolated 

 streak behind spot (SM') — SM- ; three or four postdiscal spots SC* — -R^, the first 

 often absent, the other three more or less rhombiform, the first of them the largest ; 

 submarginal dots small, variable in number, seldom all present, dots R' — M- always 

 marked ; distal margin rounded, very feebly scalloped, white fringe-spots absent, 



apex obtuse. Hindwing : a greenish white central area extending from S(J- to 



(SM'), externally to near curvature of R^ and proximally to near base of M, incised 

 at the veins ; a trace of a white subbasal costal spot ; a series of postdiscal spots 

 from f ! to SM^, greenish white, the upper one ovate, the others more or less circular, 

 the fourth smaller than the third and fifth, the seventh and eighth the smallest ; 

 the submarginal scries of dots ini'omplete, the njiper cellules being generally 

 without dots, the admarginal series of dots mostly complete, but the dots very 

 small, cs]jpcially the anterior ones ; distal margin rounded, feebly scalloped ; no 

 wliite fringe-spots; anal angle occasionally with tawny sjiot. 



Underside tawny russet. Forewing black from hinder margin to It', the 



black area occupying the greater part of the wing ; markings slightly larger than 



above and a little less green ; a white dot in cell behind SC. Hindwing : white 



central area lai'ger tluui above, extended to abdominal margin ; jiostdiscal sjjut 

 SM-— S\P present ; submarginal and admarginal rows of dots complete. 



?. Abdomen generally more extended olive-black above than in S, and oa
