Imago. — Male. Upperside black. Forewing with three pale emerald-green 

 slender streaks crossing inner-lialf of the cell, the first being brokenly continued 

 below base of tbe cell, followed by a lobate outwardly-oblique spot and then a 

 smaller triangiilar spot in the outer half; beyond is a transverse inner-discal 

 macular band composed of eight spots, the upper four small, the four lower larger 

 and increasing in size, followed by a submarginal row of nine small quadrate spots, 

 the upper second and third being placed opposite each other in the lower subcostal 

 interspace. Hindioinr/ with a pale emerald-green transverse subbasal posteriorly- 

 decreasing band, the upper portion of which is white, followed by a submarginal 

 row of six small spots, quadrate in shape except the upper third, which is lunate ; 

 abdominal margin folded over, fringed with fine greyish-white hairs, the fold when 

 opened exposing a whitish longitudinal broad streak bordering the submedian vein, 

 and containing a dense jDatch of long ochreous hairs. Cilia slenderly alternated 

 with white between the veins, those between the upper median and sub-median 

 being also slightly inwardly-edged by a white lunule, and at the anal angle by a 

 white spot. Underside brown ; markings, as above, of a bright or dull nacreous 

 tint, the cell-streaks and submarginal spots being larger. Forewing with the two 

 lower portions of the discal band bluish-tinted. Hindicing with a similar coloured 

 slender basal band and a shorter inner subbasal band extending from the costa to 

 and joining the upper angle of the cell-portion of the broad band, the dark inter- 

 space having a short crimson streak above the costal vein ; an apical cell-spot and a 

 lower discal row of black spots outwardly bordered with crimson, extending to anal 

 angle, the crimson colour also ascending partly up the inner edge of the sub-median 

 vein. 



Female. Upper and underside as in the male; the discal band being slightly 

 narrower on the hindwing and with a white longitudinal streak on abdominal 

 margin. Body greyish-black ; collar and front greyish-white streaked ; palpi, 

 thorax, and abdomen beneath, lateral baud, and femora beneath greyish-white ; 

 antennte black. 



Expanse, 2f to Z^ inches.

 and then decreasing more gradually to the end; second and anal segment with a
