chocolate-brown, more or less lunulate, continuous, fine line ; both this, 

 subterminal band and the inner brown border turn up at the end in an 

 even curve to the inner or abdominal margin ; a highly-lunulate, thin, 

 chocolate, postmedial line curving from the costa out and in to the 

 middle of the abdominal margin, the convexity of the lunules outwards 

 and the interspaces 6, 7 often suffused outwards with chocolate ; inside 

 this is a medial curved series of lunulate, quadrate and elongate spots 

 from the costa to the abdominal margin, the abdominal end in the shape 

 of an angulated band ; a chocolate line on the outside of the discocellu- 

 lars and another, often produced triangularly inwards in its upper 

 half, inside the discocellulars a spot above these discocellular markings 

 in interspace 6 ; inside these again a subbasal chocolate line across the 

 middle of the cell continued interruptedly above to vein 7 and below 

 to the abdominal margin ; spot in base of cell, one above and below ; and, 

 finally, a chocolate streak along the middle of interspace 8 parallel to the 

 costal margin. The whole disc may be suffused with golden-ochraceous 

 leaving the chocolate spots and marks intact. — Female : like the male 

 but the white band on fore wing purer white and larger ; the underside 

 generally paler. Antennoe black, banded with white ; the club thin, 

 rounded, tipped broadly orange ; palpi black above and on sides, light 

 ochreous or white below ; head with vertex and frons black, bordered 

 white ; abdomen and thorax black above, white below. Expanse : maJe, 

 24 mm ; female, 30 mm. or less. 



Egg. — Depressed — -hemispherical in sJiape ; four rows of more or less 

 hexagonal, thick-walled cells from summit to base ; the bottom row smallest 

 and irregular ; the top row arranged round an apical cell which is a little 

 larger than the others and centains, within its confines on the fiat bottom, 

 a circle of six, very small cells with broad, low walls round the micro- 

 pyle which is the absolutely central pit. Each cell has a concave bottom 

 covered with tiny, impressed, greenish pitting. The walls of all the large 

 cells are coarse and rather irregular, rather high and of rounded transverse 

 section. The whole surface shining. The colour white over the green 

 ground. B. : 0'75 mm ; H. 0. 5mm. 



iar^a. (PI. II, fig. 27.) — In general shape the larva resembles those of 

 Tajuria cippus or Vreon cleobis being broad in the anterior segments, narrowed 

 to a waist in about 8, 9 and broadened out again in 12 ; but the segments are 

 perhaps not so well-marked and the surface is dull instead of shining. The 

 head is hidden under segment 2, rather small, round, shining yellow in colour 

 with a large, triangular clypeus, black eyes and labrum, jaws tipped with 

 brown-red. Segment 2 is hood-shaped, semi-circular in outline, depressed in 

 dorsal centre in a square with a dorsal line down its centre of a diflerent 

 shade to rest ; the margins, therefore, somewhat tumid, the dorsal line on 

 front margin narrowly emarginate with a small subdorsal, fleshy point on 

 each side of the emargination pointing forwards. The anal extremity is 

 square and practically hidden from above by the dorsally flattened, 

 marginally somewhat tumid, posteriorly broadly-truncated segment 13 (?) ; 

 segment 12 is convex on dorsum, otherwise somewhat gibbous, which 

 means higher than the preceding and following segments ; segment 3 has 

 two, short, subdorsal, fleshy, pointed-conical processes, one on each side of 

 dorsal line in middle of the segment ; segment 4, broader and higher than 

 segment 3, has a similarly situated pair three times as long — which means 

 about as long as the larva is high ; one, dorsal, the same length on segment 

 6 ; one, dorsal, still longer than that of segment 5, on segment 6 as well as a 

 subspiracular one of the same length ; one, dorsal on each of the 

 segments 7-11 ; that on 7 a mere, short triangular cone; those on 8, 9 of 

 normal shape, but rather short and between that of segment 3 and
