(S . Belongs to the G. ethalion group, but is very distinct, more 

 nearly approaching C. talaguga;, Holland, in pattern than any 

 other species. Above blue-black, with a submarginal shghtly 

 sinuous series of seven greenish-grey spots, tapering from inner 

 margin to last subcostal branch near the outer margin : second- 

 aries with costa greyish ; an opaline bluish-white belt changing in 

 certain lights to grey or pale green, narrow at costa, gradually 

 widening to third median branch, nearly of uniform width to just 

 below first median branch, and then abruptly narrowed to iuner 

 margin; this belt leaves a rather narrow black outer border, 

 enclosing a submarginal series of small white dashes, touched with 

 blue near anal angle, and a marginal grey-greenish irregular stripe, 

 streaked with dull golden buff and brick-red ; extreme margin 

 black. Body as usual ; under surface having the usual character, 

 somewhat reddish and sericeous, with a straight white transverse 

 central band bounding the outer series of black hues forming the 

 limit of the almost central belt, and which in this species are 

 united into one almost unbroken line ; the ordinary discal lunuies 

 united into an ii'regular, internally black-edged band of greenish, 

 shading into clay-reddish. Expanse of wings 61 millim.
