surface is lighter or darker green, at the hindmargin of the forewing dark violet-brown and at the inner margin of the hindwing yellow-haired as far as vein 2; the forewing with three black spots placed in a straight line, two in the cell, ringed with light green, and the third at its apex; the hindwing likewise with three black spots, one just at the base in cellule 8 and two in the cell; on the forewing the costal margin to the apical band, the band itself and the apical spot are pure white; on the hindwing the base of the costal margin is blood-red and posteriorly bounded by a snow-white stripe, which follows vein 8 and somewhat beyond the middle of the costal margin unites with a white transverse band; this transverse band is feebly curved basewards and reaches vein 4 or 3 not far from the distal margin. In these beautiful markings the under surface of this species differs from all others. The typical female is unknown to me and has never been described, but perhaps differs but little from the male.
