This species expands about four incites ; the ground 
colour of the surface is black, variously interrupted 
tvith stripes and patches of green. On the upper 
wings a longitudinal stripe of that colour extends 
from the base to the extremity of the discoidal cell ; 
beyond which there is a transverse series of large 
contiguous spots, and two or three small insulated 
ones. The inferior wings have two transverse green 
bands, one of them broad and continuous placed near 
the base, and terminating nearly in a point towards 
the outer margin ; the other consisting of six or 
seven orbicular spots, and placed nearly midway 
between the former band and the hinder extremity. 
The under side differs considerably from the upper, 
the ground colour being blackish-brown, while all 
the green parts are bordered with pearl-white, and 
along the posterior margin there is a series of white 
lunules, each of them divided by a brown nervure ; 
near the origin of the secondary wings a small lon- 
gitudinal red line is likewise observable. The body
