  Wings 
  

   shining 
  and 
  iridescent 
  with 
  yellowish 
  veins. 
  The 
  first 
  yellowish 
  band 
  is 
  complete 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  going 
  throughout 
  along 
  the 
  costa, 
  but 
  leaving 
  

   two 
  hyaline 
  streaks 
  in 
  the 
  marginal 
  and 
  submarginal 
  cells, 
  just 
  before 
  and 
  behind 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  this 
  band 
  does 
  not 
  extend 
  

   below 
  the 
  second 
  vein, 
  while 
  at 
  base 
  it 
  reaches 
  the 
  fourth 
  vein 
  just 
  above 
  the 
  

   second 
  basal 
  cell, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  it 
  extends 
  below 
  the 
  third 
  vein 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  posterior 
  cell 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  blackish 
  infuscation, 
  

   on 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   marginal 
  cell 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  black 
  rounded 
  spot, 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  entirely 
  yellow 
  stigma. 
  

   The 
  second 
  longitudinal 
  band 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  paler 
  yellowish 
  colour 
  above, 
  but 
  infuscated 
  

   below 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  ; 
  it 
  begins 
  on 
  the 
  anal 
  cell 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  

   basal 
  cell, 
  and 
  goes 
  across 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  and 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  basal 
  

   cell 
  to 
  the 
  small 
  cross- 
  vein 
  ; 
  it 
  there 
  becomes 
  narrower 
  and 
  is 
  bent 
  downwards, 
  

   going 
  along 
  the 
  last 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  vein 
  to 
  the 
  costa, 
  which 
  is 
  reached 
  just 
  

   below 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  vein 
  itself. 
  From 
  this 
  band 
  arises 
  another, 
  which 
  

   forms 
  a 
  border 
  along 
  the 
  hind 
  cross- 
  vein 
  and 
  extends 
  beyond 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  border 
  along
