Upperside dark chestnut brown, glossed with green; anterior 
wing with the costal margin and the apical half glossy greenish black, 
crossed near the apex by a white band, which is crossed by the black 
nervules, two distinct black spots in the cell; posterior wing with 
the outer margin broadly greenish-black, traversed by a band of 
seven greenish-white spots, the fringe of both wings alternately 
black and white, the nervules of both wings all black. Underside 
greenish brown, darkest on the outer margin of the wings; anterior 
wing with the white band as above, and three black spots in the 
cell ; posterior wing with the costal margin greenish white, a black 
spot close to the base, and one in the middle of the cell, two white 
spots at the end of the cell, and the submarginal band of white

This species is easily distinguished from R. eleus by its greener 
colour, and having black spots in the cells of both wings.

The specimens of this species are very pale-coloured, with the white 
spots much smaller than the specimens I have from Old Calabar. 
Mr. Monteiro tells me that the species of this genus always fly in the 
dense forest. :
