Imago. — <£$. Head and thorax olive-green and brown with 

 numerous brown lines ; abdomen with a golden tinge, mottled 

 with purplish-grey towards base. Fore wing less sinuate than 

 in dohertyi ; upperside olive-green, base marbled with purplish- 

 grey ; subbasal and antemedian lines more distinct than in the 

 other species ; median interspace pale, this pale shade extended 

 towards outer margin behind R 2 ; discal lines reaching costal 

 margin, here nearer apex of wing than in the allied species, 

 the most distal of them touching the black border of the sub- 

 marginal spot SC 5 — R 1 , a pale costa] spot at the outer side of 

 this line ; hind angle of wing very obtuse, the outer margin 

 being more oblique than in the allies. Pale band of hind wing 

 short and narrow. Underside of body and wings beautifully 

 suffused with golden-yellow ; exterior discal lines distinct 

 on both wings, touching the submarginal line. Expanse : 

 56-80 mm. 



(J. Tenth segment as in dohertyi, sternite rather more pointed. 

 Clasper with more than eight friction-scales ; harpe nearly as 

 in automedon, rather more spatulate. Right process of penis- 

 sheath intermediate between the respective processes of 

 dohertyi and automedon, left process broader than in dohertyi, 

 obliquely rounded proximally, the penis-sheath agreeing almost 

 with that of sinuata and allies. 



Hab. E. Himalayas (Sylhet ; Khasi Hills) and Malaya. 

 Rare, and the early stages unknown.
