We have before us the larva of the species formerly known as 

 " Parasa chloris." It is evidently what is represented in Bois- 

 duval's figure. 'As justly remarked by W. V. Andrews (Psyche 

 ii, 272), the species belongs to Euclea from the structure of both 

 larva and imago. Although this larva has been well described 

 several times we present the following condensed notes, since 

 they contain points not previously noticed. 



Larva. Head retracted below joint 2, blotched with red on its lower 

 part, ocelli and mouth dark ; joint 2 granular, honey-brown, retracted 

 beneath joint 3. Stibdorsal series of horn-like processes on joints 3-13, 

 those on joints 4, 5, 8, n and 12 very long (2.5-4 mm.), the ones on joints 

 3 and 13 moderate, the others short, subspherical; all densely spinulose, 

 urticating. Lateral series on joints 3-4, 6-12 (none on joint 5), short, 

 except the one on joint 4, which is twice as long as the others. Spiracles 

 round, the one on joint 2 usually concealed, the one on joint 5 in line 

 with the lateral processes, those on joints 6-12 much below them. Size 

 of larva 18x7 mm. The coloration has been well described, and we 

 would merely note that there are two forms, a red and a yellow one. In 

 the first, the ground color is straw color, the horns, with their ridges, a 

 middle lateral band and subventral one vermillion-red. In the other the 

 ground color is lemon-yellow, the horns and bands also yellow, the short 

 horns tinged with orange.

 trasting. Thoracic feet black; abdominal ones blackish vinous. Length 

 of mature larva 45-50 mm.
