Imago. — Male. Uppersicle olivescent-black. Forewing with a bright ohve-green 

 transverse basal stripe, a stripe crossing base of the cell, three equidistant short 

 pairs across its middle and a short one before the apex, two small spots beyond end 

 of the cell, an oblique discal series of seven spots, the upper two small, the second 

 outwardly placed, the others gradually increasing in size, followed below by three 

 outwardly-oblique spots and a parallel subbasal stripe cut by the submedian vein ; 

 beyond is a submarginal row of nine small spots. Elndvjlrnj with a bright olive- 

 green basal stripe, a subbasal broken stripe extending broadly from the costa and 

 obliquely narrower across the cell, and thence inwardly within the lower median 

 interspace, followed by a transverse discal carved series of six spots decreasing in 

 size posteriorly, the upper or costal spot being large and white, and then a sub- 

 m.arginal row of irregularly-lunate spots, the foui' lower being narrow and the upper 

 one white; abdominal fold greyish-white, sometimes greenish, when open displaying 

 a greyish-ochreous woolly scent patch. Cilia slenderly greyish-w-hite. Underside 

 pale purplish-brown, clouded with dark olive-brown patches. Foreiciiig with the 

 olive-green markings as on upperside, but less prominent, the submarginal more or 

 less obscured by brown scales, those in the lower median and submedian interspaces 

 almost white-scaled, and the discal spots have their exterior portion densely covered 

 with white scales. Hi ud tri n g \\\t\i similav disposed markings as on upperside, the 

 basal and the upper part of subbasal stripe — from the costal to parti}' across the 

 cell — being olive-green, the lower portiou of the latter, the lower four discal spots, 

 and the submarginal spots being obscured by brown scales ; the fifth discal spot is 

 small, round, and very pale green, the upper discal or costal spot is broad and either 

 greyish-white or pinkish-white, both these latter being inwardly margined with a 

 pink-bordered black lunule ; a small black spot above anal angle preceded by a 

 I'eddish spot, both being bordered with greyish or black scales. Tails of males
