 one sixth shorter than the inner margin, dull white, reticulated and 

 slightly clouded with brown ; basal third green, interspersed with 

 white, and partly following the general outline of the hind 

 margin, and marked in the middle and at its extremity opposite 

 the middle o£ the hind margin, and on the inner margin, with 

 some irregular black spots ; along the costa mns a row of small 

 black dots, interrupted beyond the green part of the tegmina, 

 then recommencing in a single or irregularly double row, becoming

 inner margin they become a more regular double series, ending

 margin. Wings white, with the basal third blood-red, the costa 

 beyond tinged with green ; three large round black spots towards 

 the extremity of the wing, and some very small black submarginal 

 dots beyond. Underside : tegmina with the green at the base 

 much deeper, without white markings, but more or less spotted 

 and reticulated with black ; h.e rest of the wing is wMter and 

 hardly reticulated with brown, which renders the submarginal 

 spots more distinct.
