lilacine subterminal and broader ochraceous terminal line. Female similar : 

 ground-colour paler ; a broad oblique white discal bar and two white preapical 

 spota on the upperside of the forewing ; a large rectangular black, subterminal 

 mark in interspaces and a white spot above and below it, on the upperside of 

 the hind wing. Underside similar to that of male, all the markings more 

 prominent, the lilac, ochreous and brown shades paler ; the broad discal bar on 

 forewing as on the upperside, joined by a nearly vertical lilacine- white band 

 bearing the series of ocelli. On the hindwing the brown transverse discal 

 band very broadly produced between veins 4 and 5. Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen brown ; antennae ochraceous at apex. Exp, 64-68 mm. 



Larva. — The body is spindle-shaped, flattened ventrally, with a pointed head 

 and the last segment is produced out behind into a long pointed tail composed of 

 two closely applied, long, conical processes. The head is a good deal higher 

 than segment 2, though very slightly broader, triangular in shape, thick at 

 base, produced on the vertex into a longish point composed of two closely 

 applied pointed conical processes, one from vertex of each lobe ; jaws black ; 

 general colour green, darker than the body, the points red ; a yellow line down 

 each side from base of points at vertex to meet the spiracular body-line. 

 Spiracles brown, oval, small. Surface of body covered with minute white 

 pointed tubercles, as well as the head, each tubercle surmounted by a minute 

 hair. Colour of body lightish grass-green with a dorsal thin white line flanked 

 by a subdorsal one on each side ; an interrupted yellow lateral-band broad- 

 ening out into patches with deep rose-coloured centres on segments 7 and 8 

 and into lunules of yellow on segments 5, 6, 9 and 10 ; and a light yellow 

 spiracular line from segment 4 to centre of tail-points, bordered above finely 

 with brown. Sometimes there is no rose-colour, other times there is little 

 yellow ; occasionally the whole colour may be rosy brown instead of green 

 with diagonal side-lines. L. 44mm.; B. 4mm.; L. of tail-points : 4mm. : of 

 head points 1mm. The 44mm. is over all, tail-points and head-points included 

 for the larva lies with the head-points lying in a line with the body. 



Pupa.— The chrysalis is not swollen in the abdomen, has two short points to 

 the head, an angular thorax-vertex and is otherwise nearly smooth. The head 

 has two squarely separated conical short points, one in front of each eye ; the 

 distance between these points being half the breadth of pupa at shoulders. 

 The head and segment 2 are trapeze-shaped seen from above ; lateral outline 

 widening rapidly to shoulders with a shallow sinus at segment margin 2-3 ; 

 from shoulders to segment 8 the breadth decreases but slightly and from there 

 to end very gradually also, the abdomen being strongly convex in the dorsal 

 line though ventrally nearly straight; the thorax is convex running up to a 

 point at apex in the dorsal line (lateral view is thus triangular), the anterior 

 slope to head being rapid, the posterior to segment 4 gradual. Constriction 

 behind thorax is moderate ; the wings are expanded very little behind the 

 shoulders. Cremaster is thickened at end, triangular. The last three segments 

 are bent down so that the pupa hangs at an angle of 45° to the vertical.
