Description A. ocrida Hew. (150 B e) is at once discernible by the very intensely glossy green upper surface, where the black marginal band of the hindwing is very broad at the apex and tapers off analwards, almost ending at the small tail; but according to Semper these characters are somewhat variable, so that the species sometimes resembles the exterior of corinda (150 e).Seitz, A.
