 olivescent-fulvous. Cilia fulvescent-white with black vein-points on foi^ewing. Veins 

 black. Forewing with four black cell-bars, the fourth including the discocellular 

 veinlet ; a transverse inner-discal irregularly-angulated series of narrow lunulate 

 spots which are either entirely separate or each joined to the other by a perceptible 

 continued line on the vein ; a diffused speckled costal streak before the apex ; an 

 outer-discal row of round spots, a submarginal row of lunules, and a marginal 

 dentated duplex line. Bindv:ing with two black bars closing the cell, which are 

 joined at their upper end ; a transverse inner-discal angulated continuous series of 

 narrow lunulate spots, a discal curved row of either three, four, or five round spots, 

 the upper and third being small, minute or absent, followed by a subraarginal 

 continuous row of lunules, and then a double marginal line. Underside. Forewing 

 paler fulvous ; the costal border and apex pale olivescent-yellow ; cell and discal 

 markings as above; the apical spots dusky olive, with two silvery-white spots in the 

 interspaces of the two upper outer-discal and submarginal spots, and sometimes two 

 less-defined similar white spots in the interspaces between the costal streak and upper 

 outer-discal spots. Hindwing rich deep glossy golden-green ; outer border olivescent- 

 yellow, three silvery-white transverse subbasal small rounded spots, three inner- 

 discal lai'ger black-edged spots, a medial-discal series of small much less-defined lunules 

 contiguous to an outer-discal series of larger silvery-white black-edged spots, followed 

 by a contiguous outer row of small red spots with white pupils, and then a sub- 

 marginal row of silvery-white lunules, these latter are inwardly bordered by olive- 

 green and outwardly by a slender black line. Body and palpi above olivescent-
