Expands from 1-80 to 2-20 in. All the wings white, with a 
black hind-marginal border enclosing a row of white spots. Fore 
wings with several white spots on the black border near the apex, 
the border being widest at this part ; in the centre of the wing, 
touching the costa, is a large black spot enclosing one or two 
white ones ; the base dusky. Hind wings with a black spot on the 
costa, having the appearance of being continued from a similar 
spot on the fore wings ; near the anal angle are three indistinctly 
marked black eyes with darkish rings. Nervures of all the wings 
black above. Under side : Fore wings similar in markings to the 
upper side, but the nervures are reddish brown along the hind 
margin. Hind wings similar to the upper side, but the nervures 
are marked with reddish brown ; the black markings also have a 
tinge of the latter colour ; there are five submarginal ocellated 
spots, not very distinctly marked, having blue centres enclosed in 
reddish and yellowish rings. PI. LVII., 1.

grown) it is rather elongated, sensibly tapering posteriorly, 
pubescent, of a yellowish flesh -colour, with well marked and 
continuous lines. The vascular line, which begins and ends in 
an acute point, is large, of a clear brown, and bordered narrowly 
with white on each side. The subdorsal line is Naples-yellow, 
and is edged with green above and below ; the lower edging extends 
along the sides down to the stigmatal line, which is fine and clear. 
The head is globular, pubescent, and of an indistinct green, with 
two black ocelli on each side. The legs are flesh-coloured 
The stigmata are very small, white, encircled with black. About 
a third part of the larvae collected had a different colour from the 
type. This constant variety has the ground colour bright green, 
and an entirely black vascular line. M. Guenee has pointed out to
