Extent of wing proportionally great in the longitudinal direction of the body ; hinder wings 

 narrow, gradually tapering to the anal extremity, with a single marginal notch near the base of 

 the tail. Wings above, in the male, black, the anterior with the extreme costal nerve yellowish 

 and marked near the apex with three delicate oblique black lines ; the posterior with a broad 

 cyaneous marginal band varying according to the aspect to saturated sea-green, terminating at 

 a small distance from the outer apical angle ; inner margin brown from the base to the middle, 

 then yellowish gray and in the anal region orange, which colour extends to the extremity of the 

 tail; there are two black lunules in the anal region, one exterior near the marginal notch, one 

 on the anal appendage : underneath ochraceous brown with spots and bands of a more satu- 

 rated colour bordered throughout with a delicate yellowish line ; anterior pair bearing an 

 oblong spot near the base, a short transverse stigma on the disk and three broad transverse 

 bands; the first, at a small distance from the base, dimidial, abruptly terminated at the anal 

 areola, the next a little beyond the disk, extending across the whole surface attenuated and 

 tending slightly to the inner apical angle, with an irregularly waving posterior margin ; 

 the third somewhat narrower than the former consists of adjoining spots and extends in a 

 gentle curve over the exterior portion of the wing ; the hinder wings have an oval spot near the 

 base in contact with the costa, then a broad irregularly interrupted band passing in an arch 

 across the surface, composed near the costa of subconfluent maculae, but on the disk and near the 

 inner margin of several successive pairs of distinct oval spots; behind the disk a series of brown 

 arcs margined with yellow forms a curved band which extends over the whole surface being simple 

 near the exterior margin, but consisting of a double series of parallel arcs more deeply tinctured 

 as they approach the inner margin ; beyond this follows a delicate brown thread which extends 

 flexuose across the entire wing, forming an inner boundary to a series of oblong spots close to 

 and parallel with the margin, which is continued in the anal region by two deep black ocelli,
