Plate XIX. Figure 4. 



THIS insect measures from an inch and a half to nearly 

 two inches in width. 



Male: fore wings pale greenish-grey, first line a darker 

 hue of the same, much curved and waved, second line 

 also much bent, and between them is a central line of 

 a like character running through the central spot which 

 is indistinct, and outside the second a third but straighter 

 and less decisively apparent line. In some specimens 

 all these lines are almost wholly wanting. Hind wings 

 also greenish-grey but paler in colour, with a waved 

 dusky line across, and traces of another, or part of 

 another, near the lower edge. 



The female is without wings.
