Race decoratus, Eothschild. Very similar to the typical form, 

 from which it can be distinguished as follows : cf $ . Upperside : 

 green spots smaller, especially the cliscal series on the fore wing. 

 Underside hind wing : " the red postcostal spot is relatively small 

 but the red part has much increased against the black part ; 

 besides the large red anal mark and the mark before the first disco- 

 cellular veinlet, there is a large red spot in the lower median cellule 

 [interspace 2], a smaller red spot in each of the three preceding 

 cellules [interspaces 3, 4, 5] and a streak-like spot at the base of 

 the lower median cellule." (RotliscJiild.)

<S $ . Upperside, fore wing : costal margin up to a line through 

 the anterior half of the cell to the apex of the wing and the 

 terminal margin broadly black ; the medial portion of the wing 

 pale hyaline greenish-yellow interrupted anteriorly by the following 

 irregular black bands that join the black on the costa to the black 

 on the termen : a band across middle of cell and along vein 4, 

 another at apex of cell and along vein 5, and two shorter and 

 more oblique nearer the apex of the wing ; the hyaline spot 

 left close to the apex much smaller than those below; lastly, 

 a pale subterminal, somewhat obscure broad line. Hind wing : 

 an even black band along the dorsum in continuation of the 

 black on the costal margin of the fore wing, joined below to 

 a very broad black band on the terminal margin ; the remaining 

 triangular medial portion of the wing and a transverse subterminal 

 series of large spots hyaline greenish-yellow ; the dorsal margin 

 of the wing with long soft pale hairs and touches of grey scaling 

 on the tornal area. Underside : similar, with on the hind wing a 

 series of slender crimson markings at extreme base of wing along 

 vein 1, broadened at the tornal angle and in interspaces 2 to 5; 

 lastly, admarginal white slender lines at the tornal angle and in 

 interspaces 2 and 3. Antennas, head, thorax and abdomen dark 

 brownish black, the thorax with lateral dark grey pubescence ; 

 beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen touched with dingy white, 

 the abdomen with three lateral whitish stripes. d 1 . Abdominal 

 fold within grey, studded with a brush of long white hairs as in 

 sarpedon.
