Size and general form of Turnus ; primaries more produced, more falcated ; 
secondaries deeply dentated, many-tailed. 
Male. — Expands about 4 inches. 
Upper side bright yellow, banded with black after the same pattern as Turtms 
and Eurymedon ; the costal and discal bands more delicate than in those species ; 
costa of primaries black, sprinkled with yellow; a narrow band covers the bases 
of wings and the abdominal margin; a second, proceeding from costa at about 
two fifths the length of cell, crosses both wings and joins the first at lower branch 
of median nervure, broad anteriorly, tapering gradually, sometimes restricted to 
a narrow stripe or a line on secondaries; a third crosses the cell to sub-median 
nervure, but often is more or less obsolete below the cell, or represented by a 
few scales only ; a fourth covers the arc; in the costal interspace a club-shaped 
spot, inclosing a yellow stripe, and lying along the costal nervure, ending at the 
marginal border; sometimes black patches on the discoidal nervules; hind mar¬ 
gins bordered by a broad common band, within which, on primaries, is a narrow 
yellow band, tapering from costa to inner angle, divided into spots by the blaek 
nervules; anterior to this a line of grayisli-green scales, sometimes wanting; on 
secondaries are four wedge-shaped or lunate, sub-marginal, yellow spots, the one 
at outer angle small, sometimes a point only; a fifth spot on second median in¬ 
terspace, lunate, somewhat washed with fulvous; and a sixth, also lunate, wholly 
fulvous, near angle; above the angle the margin is excised and edged with 
fulvous; above this, on the black ground, a small cluster of blue scales, and an 
orange spot; in the median interspaces, within the marginal band, are patches of 
blue scales, and sometimes smaller clusters are found in each interspace to cos¬ 
tal edge; the disco-cellular nervules more or less edged on the inner side by 
black; the exterior tail is long, narrow, convex outwardly ■ the second is two 
fifths the length of the first, straight, narrow; the third, at the angle, is half the 
length of the second; fringe of primaries black, of secondaries black at ends of 
nervules, yellow in the emarginations.
