c? . Upperside: white. Fore wing : basal half of costa narrowly 

 irrorated with black scales, a broad irregular quadrate black spot 

 over the discocellulars ; apex and termen anteriorly, above vein 3 

 broadly black, with a subterminal series of spots of the ground- 

 colour^ prolonged as fine lines to the terminal margin. Hind wing : 

 uniform, the markings on the underside showing faintly through ; 

 a costal spot before the apex, and in some specimens, some obscure, 

 anterior terminal markings indicated by irrorated black scaling. 

 Underside : white. Fore wing : the form of the markings as on 

 the upperside, but the base of the cell with an irroration of green 

 scales, the black discocellular spot extended to the costa, often 

 washed with green or with a green centre to the black ; the apical 

 patch green not black, with the spots of the ground-colour on it 

 ill-defined and obscure ; a black or greenish-black spot in the 

 outer half of interspace 1. Hind wing : green ; costal margin at 

 base yellow; dorsal margin white ; a spot in middle of cell, another 

 above it in interspace 7, a curved irregular discal series of con- 

 joined spots beyond the cell, of which the upper two spots are 

 placed more inwards, and a terminal series of spots in inter- 

 spaces 1 to 6, white ; the veins sometimes faintly yellow. Antennas 

 dusky-black ; head, thorax and abdomen fuscous black ; beneath : 

 head, thorax and abdomen white. $ . Upperside : differs as fol- 

 l ows . Fore wing : a dusky-black streak extends from base along 

 costa and terminates at the black spot on the discocellulars ; a 

 transverse, somewhat quadrate black spot in the outer half of 

 interspace 1, with sometimes a short ill-defined black streak below 

 it; the black area on apex and anterior portion of termen broader, 

 the white spots on it blurred and obscure. Hind wing : a large 

 costal black spot before apex ; a broad, black, subterminal, inwardly 

 diffuse, curved band in continuation of the same, and a terminal 

 series of clavate black marks that start from the outer margin of 

 the black subterminal band. Underside : markings much as in 

 the c? but broader. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as 

 in the c? .
