Pale green varied with olive and whitish. A white line on each side of the head, a dorsal white line, 

 tinged with reddish and extending from the head to the tip of the abdomen ; prothorax and edges of 

 tegulse above and beneath margined by white lines. A metathoracic spot on each side, and the middle of the 

 abdominal segments tinged with dark buff, with the hind margins of the segments dark green from the base 

 to the middle and thence to the tip reddish brown. Anterior wings slightly ferruginous at the base, with 

 narrow olive green and dull white bands, the latter slightly tinged with ferruginous, arising at the inner 

 margin of the base and curving to the costa from the basal portion of the disc to beyond the origin of 

 post-apical nervule; an oblique whitish apical line with an olive green patch adjoining and before it, in the 

 post-apical interspace, and the line edged with olive green in the apical interspace. Hind wings rust 

 colored, with an indistinct, greenish terminal margin. Under surface of anterior wings pale sulphureous • 

 toward the base pale ferruginous, with an olive streak along the costa from the base widening toward the 

 tip. Posterior wings olive green powdered with white at the base.
