also a dark mark outside the light cross band near the outer 

 margin : on the posterior wings a narrow dark waved line, the 

 main direction being nearly straight, crosses the wing from 

 the middle of the costa, past the end of the cell, towards the 

 inner margin ; another short broken line passes from the costal 

 nervure to the middle of the cell ; there are four spots between 

 the cross line and tlie outer margin, the innermost black and 

 white, the middle ones white, and the uppermost black, with 

 a few tawny scales on its inner side ; a very faint submarginal 

 line follows the curve of the outer edge. 



? . Similar to the male, but browner, and has two red

 cilia white : beneath bronzy green, the base only of both Avings 

 red : there are four black spots near the outer margin of the

 the outer margin of the hind Aving ; the innennost passes just 

 outside the cell, and consists chieHy of rather elongate trian-
