 rufous brown. Posterior wing with the caudal spot (which is surrounded with orange), the

The variety of the plate was drawn from a belief that there was only one species ; since then, 

 I am inclined to think that there are two. First, the Timoleon of Stoll (a wretched figure), the 

 insect figured by Dr. Boisduval, and Rochana of Horsfield and Moore, which agree in having 

 the posterior wing broad at the anal angle, with two slender tails ; and secondly, distinct from 

 them, the figure in Donovan's Insects of China, the Nila of Kollar, and the figure of the plate, 

 which have the posterior wing much more pointed at the anal angle and with one broad tail.
