thorax and abdomen. Pore wing with the costa more rufous ; the 

 medial band outwardly oblique, evenly curved, and expanding into 

 a patch where it joins the costal fascia ; the tooth running into 

 the rufous area at vein 5 broad on both wings ; no tooth below 

 vein 2.

Differs from all the preceding species in the inner edge of the* 

 outer rufous area being evenly curved on fore wing, dentate on 

 hind wing ; the green patch below apex of each wing oval ; the 

 green spots towards inner margin of hind wing rarely developed ; 

 the ocellus more developed than in hemithearia. 



In the typical form Icetata the medial band of fore wing is- 

 reduced to a small tooth from the costal fascia ; in hilarata and 

 the other forms it is as in visenda, but not expanding below costa. 

 The Askold, Japanese, Khasi, and Australian form carissima has 

 the inner edge of the outer area of fore wing straighter, the rufous 

 area being broader at inner margin ; in some Japanese specimens 

 and in the Australian form the medial band of fore wing is erect 

 and expands into patches. 



Larva green, with dorsal prominences on 1st and llth somites. 

 Pupa yellowish green above, green below, the abdominal somites 

 black-speckled. Food-plant Nerium oleander.
