Anterior wings of a rich green, with a small darker fascia at the base, and a 

 second broader one in the middle, bordered on each side with a narrow black 

 striga and white margin; beyond this is an evanescent undulated whitish 

 striga; on the costa are three larger, somewhat triangular black spots placed at 

 the origin of the respective strigae, three minute ones at the apex of the costa, a 

 black streak, placed obliquely near the tip of the hinder margin, and a sub- 

 quadrate one, frequently with a pale centre on the middle of the inner edge 

 at the termination of the central fascia : on the hinder margin of the wings is 

 an interrupted black line, and the cilia are pale, interrupted with fuscous: 

 posterior wings fuscescent, with pale transverse strigae. 



I possess a specimen having the black spot at the base of the costa very large, 

 and the other two united, forming a large black blotch ; on the central fascia 

 are also four distinct black rings, and the spot on the inner margin of the wing 

 extends to twice its usual dimensions transversely. 



Duponchel, who has given an admirable figure of this insect, places it in the 

 following genus, notwithstanding its pectinated antennae. 



Very common in woods and lanes throughout the metropolitan 

 jdistrict, and in other parts. " Epping."" — Mr. Douhleday. " Rae-

Greenish ; anterior wings varied with olivaceous-green and white, with a small 

 dull-green fascia at the base, a second broader one in the middle, crenate on 

 both sides, and very much attenuated towards the inner margin, with a small 

 black dot towards the costa : behind the fascia is a whitish, irregularly waved 

 striga ; the hinder margin is of a fine green, with several black dots, of which 

 two are generally more conspicuous than the rest, bordered externally with 

 white; on the margin is an interrupted black line, and the cilia are clouded 

 with black : posterior wings fuscous, with a darker central spot, and some 

 obsolete pale transverse strigae.
