hairs disposed on both cheeks ; colour of head red-brown appearing 

 lighter on vertex of each lobe because of the bunches of hair ; 

 surface dull. Spiracles oval, black, with white centres. Surface 

 of body dull, covered moderately densely with longish erect hairs 

 of which some few laterally are longer than others ; there is a 

 subdorsal bunch of stifFer hairs on segments 3-6 making these seg- 

 ments look brown over dorsum ; other hairs are light mouse- 

 coloured. Anal flap broadly rounded at extremity, the two anal 

 processes are short, conical, light-yellow and hairy. Colour of 

 body light brownish-greyish with a thin subdorsal line white ; each 

 segment with a dorso-lateral black mark near front margin distinct 

 on segments 2-7 : behind these black marks on segments 2-13 a 

 light chocolate-brown mark ; legs rose-coloured. Size somewhat 

 smaller than D. lepida. The pupa is very like that of D. lepida, 

 only differing in being smaller than the majority of pupae of that 

 species. The colour is either green or bone- coloured : when the latter 

 it is generally without the black powdering of D. lepida. It will 

 suspend itself backwards like the pupa of D. lepida, that is as 

 often as that species, against a perpendicular surface : when the 

 pupation takes place on a horizontal surface the pupa hangs quite 

 free by the tail and rather loosely : as is also the case with D. 



lepida,
