Imago. — Male. Uppersicle black. Foreiuing numerously irrorated witli green 

 scales ; crossed by an outer discal vein-divided narrow band composed of densely 

 packed bright goldeu-green scales, the baud is very variable in length, extending 

 upward, generally more or less obsolesceutly to the lower subcostal, but on some 

 only to the lower or middle median veinlet, and sometimes, but very rarely, it is 

 entirely absent ; cilia slightly alternated with white. Ilindioinr/ with the basal and 

 lower outer area, including the tail, numerouslj^ irrorated with green scales ; a broad 

 upper-discal bright emerald-green patch — which in some lights is blue — extending 

 from or close to the costal apex to or slightly beyond the upper median veinlet — its 

 inner edge being evenly incurved and its outer edge excavated betv/een the veins — it 

 is thence continued in a slender recurved streak of l)right golden-green scales to the 

 abdominal margin ; sometimes the red apical-lunule of the underside is also 

 slightly apparent ; beyond are tliree lower submarginal more or less defined green- 

 scaled lunnlos, and a prominent dark crimson anal ocellus surmounted by violet 

 scales. Undci'side dark sepia-brown. Foretving with the base and apex sparsel}' 

 irrorated with grey scales, the outer area crossed by a broad discal posteriorly- 

 decreasing, vein-divided, grey band, which is most prominent and whitish liindward, 

 its inner edge being upright and not touching end of the cell. TIludiriiKj with the 

 basal area irrorated with grey scales, the outer area being black lietween the veins, 

 and with a prominent complete submarginal series of bright crimson lunules with
