Body above deep olive green, with a brownish tinge and a polished 

 surface. Second segment with a cervical shield similar in color to head, 

 its sides dull greenish, with two yellow dots. There is a pale yellowish 

 dorsal line terminating at the base of the caudal horn ; each segment from 

 3rd to 12th inclusive has a pale yellow spot on each side the dorsal line, 

 about half way towards the stigmata, those on 3rd segment small and 

 almost crescent-shaped, on 4th larger and nearly round, 5th still larger, 

 nearly round, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, loth and nth about equal in size, nearly 

 oval and larger than those on 5th. On 12th segment the spot is more 

 elongated, and extending upwards, terminates at the base of the caudal 

 horn. There is a wide but indistinct blackish band across the anterior 

 part of each segment, in which the yellow spots are set ; the sides of the 

 body below the spots are thickly sprinkled with minute raised yellow 

 dots. Caudal horn long, curved backwards, red, slightly tipped with 

 black, and with a roughened surface ; terminal segment dull pinkish ; 

 stigmata oval, yellow, shaded around with dull black. 



Under surface much paler, color dull pale pinkish green, the pink color 

 predominating from 5.th to terminal segments inclusive, and with a num- 

 ber of very minute raised yellowish dots placed chiefly along the sides. 

 Feet black ; pro-legs pink, with a patch of black on the outside of each. 

 One specimen spun a light web, binding a portion of the leaf in the 

 manner oi pampinatrix, within which it changed to chrysalis on the loth 

 of July, and from this the imago appeared on the 28th of the same month. 

 The other two larvae died before completing their transformations.
