extent ; the posterior margin is black from the anal angle 

 to the base. 



Posterior wing diluted golden green, outer portion 

 with a waved fuscus black border, narrow, but 

 narrowest towards the anal angle ; between the costal 

 nervure and ist sub-costal, and ist and 2nd, and the 

 greater part of the discoidal cell, with a small spot outside 

 the 2nd discocellular nervule, a brassy or golden yellow ; 

 a narrow margin of green follows the golden area in the 

 cell, this again is separated from the median and 

 discoidal nervures to the 3rd median branch at their 

 junction with the median nervure, by black ; the space 

 bounded by the remaining nervures and nervules are 

 golden green in the first four, and golden green and 

 golden yellow in the last — or within the 3rd median nervule 

 and submedian nervure ; the whole of the intervenal 

 spaces also contain fuscus black spots and marks in the 

 following order : — A large sublunate spot between the 

 costal nervure and ist subcostal, followed by a crescentic 

 golden spot, surrounded by green towards the outer 

 margin, a large subcuneate black spot followed by a 

 narrow subcrescentic golden spot, surrounded by golden 

 green between the ist and 2nd subcostal nervules, a 

 smaller decrescentic black spot within with golden 

 green between the 2nd subcostal and discoidal nervure ; 

 a narrow oblate black spot surrounded in the green space 

 between the discoidal nervure and ist median nervule, a 

 decrescentic black spot in each of the two succeeding 

 intervenal green spaces, a large vittaeform clavate black 

 mark between the 3rd median nervule and the submedian 

 nervure extending nearly from the base to within a short 

 distance of the anal angle. The golden green increases 

 in width towards the base, diminishing towards the 

 outer margin, where it is lost in the golden yellow that 

 then extends to the anal angle, the green of the latter 3 

 intervenal spaces is broadly framed with fuscus black 

 along the median nervure as it is within the cell, and on 

 each side of the 3 median nervules, being most prominent 

 down the 2nd branch and reaching to the narrow outer 

 marginal border, where a portion of the vein is picked out 

 in yellow ; the abdominal fold which if flattened out would 

 be of considerable breadth, has the row of long reddish- 

 ochreous hairs in a line down the middle of it, and is of a 

 lucent brown as stated before. 



Head : eyes very dark brown, large and prominent ; 

 antennae velvety black ; 37 millims. in length. 



Thorax and prothorax, a rich fuscus black ; the central 

 longitudinal stripe metallic silvery green ; breast with 

 coral red or crimson spots, and deep black beneath. 



Abdomen, a rich pure orange lemon yellow ; in each of 

 the 4th and 5th segments are lateral faint black spots 

 formed by atoms and the usual trigonal, sinuate black 

 mark above the anal valves ; there are also traces of the 

 lateral subdorsal black dots usually found in this group ; 

 the subdorsal yellow is much subdued by black atoms 

 and scales, and a tuft of shot ochreous pulvilli close upon 

 the meta-thorax. 



Length of costa, 85 mms. ; width of primary wing, 4? 

 mms. ; length of secondary wing, 45 and width 47 mms. ; 

 of thorax and head 22, of abdomen, 37 mms.

2 Primary wings subtriangular, sufficiently narrow, 

 the costa very slightly arched, external margin nearly 

 straight, interior margin only slightly curved. Posterior 

 wings sufficiently shorter, scalloped ; abdominal margin 

 the normal shape of the 2 S of the genus. 



All the wings on the upper surface fuscus black ; 

 the spots and markings of the primaries are sordid greyish 

 white, caused by the grey white being equally and thickly 

 powdered with fuscus black atoms ; the light portions of 

 the secondaries are a reddish fuscus grey, all except the 

 discoidal cell which is whiter — this red or ferruginous tint 

 somewhat intensifies towards the posterior margin, even 

 on the fuscus black border. Primaries : discordal cell 

 almost entirely occupied by the sordid white, narrowly 

 separated from the veins by the black, still more from the 

 base towards which it graduates so as to give the white 

 area a subpyriform appearance, with the upper pseudoneurus 

 well defined in black, and slight traces of the 2nd, also a 

 small crescentic indentation at the point close to the 2nd 

 discoidal nervule, where the fold runs across the nervule ; 

 in the triangular space between the 2nd and 3rd subcostal 

 nervules and running a short distance, white ; between 

 the 3rd and 4th an elongate white patch interrupted 

 irregularly by black extends exactly half-way to the apex, 

 or rather the posterior margin — the 2nd outer division of 

 this patch being nearly tetragonal ; between the 4th and 

 5th, one small spot close to the base of the nervules, and 

 an exterior patch irregularly prolonged outwardly into two 

 faint striga ; between the 5th subcostal and the ist 

 discoidal nervules are two white marks, the inner one 

 subrectangular, curved at the apex and strongly and 

 deeply crescentic at its base, the outer one large and 

 cuneiform, sinuate at its base — with a considerable space 

 between the two ; in each of the 3 spaces bounded by 

 the ist discoidal and the 2nd median nervules are similar 

 long rectangular white marks indented or sinuated at 

 their base, and smaller outer white marks varying in size 

 and more or less cuneiform and bisinuate at their base ; 

 between the 2nd and 3rd median nervules, an elongate 

 rectangular or tetragonal mark, crescentic at the base, and 

 an irregular, bisinuate small mark below ; between the 3rd 

 median and submedian nervure, the mark is nearly the 

 width of the space at its base, is bisinuate, and divided 

 visibly by the submedian fold, the upper division extending 

 narrowly parralel with the median vein at a short distance 

 from it to exactly half the distance from the base of the 

 wing ; the portion below the fold is only about 2-3rds the 

 length of the upper, narrower, and accuminate, giving the 

 whole mark a subtetragonal outline ; the white marginal 

 mark is subfusiform and indented. 



Secondaries : discoidal cell nearly occupied by white ; 

 i.e. to within i-3rd of the base ; posterior margin of wings 

 with an irregular vittseform border of black, sinuated or 

 deeply indented ; the space between the veins is sordid 

 ferruginous white, and may be considered to contain 6 

 black spots sinuate below and accuminate above, the ist 

 (Felder would regard it as the 2nd) between the ist and 

 2nd subcostal nervules being of irregular form, and the 

 6th between the 3rd median nervule and the submedian 

 nervure being the longest and most accuminate ; below 

 these the ferruginous grey is more orange, and more 

 densely sprinkled with fuscus ; between the costal nervure 

 and ist subcostal branch the space is black, with an 

 elongate sordid ferruginous white mark extending midway 

 nearly to the precostal nervure, and an irregular marginal 

 spot near to the anterior angle.
