Imago. — <£$. Head and thorax dark green ; thorax with 

 a whitish lateral stripe and a pink stripe starting behind the 

 eye, running to vertex and thence to hind margin ; abdomen 

 with proximal segments orange at sides, black above, with 

 a green spot on third segment ; fourth segment grey, distal 

 segments black. Fore wing dark green, a grey streak at base ; 

 a pinkish stripe along costa and inner margin ; a postmedian 

 transverse pale or white, sharply-defined band not reaching 

 costa ; a pale submarginal, dentate line beyond which the 

 colour is grey. Hind wing orange at base, diffused outwards 

 along costa and to anal angle ; a large black patch on outer 

 margin with two grey spots near anal angle. First segment 

 of palpus incrassate at end, subangulate. Antenna short and 

 slender. Outer margin of fore wing excurved at median 

 nervure, D 3 of hind wing very oblique, three times as long 

 as D 4 . Expanse : $ 50-57 mm., £ 70 mm. 



$. Tenth tergite not compressed, rather slightly convex 

 above, hollow beneath, narrowed in middle, being slightly 

 dilated from middle to apex, which is feebly sinuate. Clasper 

 of almost even width from before middle to apex, ventral 

 margin slightly convex, apex rounded ; harpe (fig. 83 A) 

 rather large, the process situated below ventral edge of clasper. 

 Penis-sheath (fig. 83 B) ending in a prominent forked process, 

 which projects distad. 



Hab. S. India, Burma and Siam. We have bred the species 

 in S. India, where larvae are local, but not scarce, in areas 

 of heavy rainfall, but during the dry season. Fellowes- 

 Manson has bred the species in Burma. 



Egg. — Broadly ovoid, surface smooth and shining to the
