veins are white; a submarginal slender white line, only sharply defined on the median 

 interspaces; apical half of the external area flesh-coloured internally, and dark blood-red

 patch; outer margin beyond the middle narrowly white, and spotted throughout with dark 

 brown ; fringe coloured to correspond with the colours on the wing next to it : body above 

 -now-white, the collar grass-green. Under surface pearly white : wings with the veins and

 India {Milne). 



The variety C.felicitata differs only in being 5 millimetres more in expanse of wings, and 

 in having a narrower area between the posttnedian and submarginal lines on the secondaries ; 

 it was obtained in Moreton Bay, Australia.
