CONSIDERABLY less than either of the preceding, 

 the extent of the wings seldom exceeding ten lines. 

 The colour of the body is bluish-black, the forehead 

 and collar yellowish-white, the thorax having a 

 single white point at the insertion of the wings, 

 and the abdomen two white belts, one on the fifth, 

 the other on the terminal segment. The anal tuft 

 is black at the sides and reddish-yellow in the 

 middle ; the thighs blue-black, whitish externally, 

 except in the hinder pair, the rest of the leg yellow. 

 The anterior edge, apex, and nervures of the upper 

 wings, as well as a cross mark in the centre, are 

 black ; a triangular area extending from the base to 

 the central mark, and a rounded space beyond it, 

 are clear hyaline, the remainder of the surface being 

 bright yellowish-red ; the hinder wings are also 

 hyaline, with a minute black spot bordered with 

 red in the middle of the anterior edge.
