Hind wings rich greenish bronze in the basal portion, brown 
towards the hind margin ; marginal row of silver spots wanting, 
but those in the central row are very brilliant ; they are rather 
irregular in shape and arrangement ; near the base are also five or 
six silvery spots of different sizes, two at least of them being large

Time op Appearance. — July. 
Habitat. — - Mountain woods in the Caucasus, Armenia, and 
Persia (North-West). It seems to be a rare species, at least in 
collections. Some entomologists consider it a variety of Arjlaia ; 
all the specimens, however, that I have seen look perfectly distinct.
