The larva of this fpecies is of a green colour varied with yellow, 
andhas the he ad black: the pupa is pale brown. The upper furface 
of the fly in both fexes is brown, and the lower a rich and elegant 
filky green. Near the centre of the anterior wings on the upper fur- 
face is an obfcure paler fpot of an oblong form, and which is com- 
monly moft confpicuous in the male. The two fexes may be ina 
great meafure diftm guifhed hkewife by the number and fituation of the 
white dots on the lower furface of the pofterior wings, thefe m the fe~ 
male conftituting an uniform feries or hne extending entirely acrofs, 
while in the male they are interrupted, and though diftinét on the 
‘edges of the wing, are fcarcely perceptible towards the difk. The fe- 
male is alfo larger than the male; a circumftance not peculiar to this 
fpecies, but common to moft others of the infect tribe.
