&G., with all the spines of more or less equal length and branched, 

 the first two segments often having them reduced to tubercles or 

 even, occasionally, the head being quite smooth. Slight departures 

 from the type are Atliyma and Pantoporia [vide PI. I, fig. 10) larvje 

 with Some spines more developed than others. In Moduza these 

 spines have a tendency to broaden out and become fleshy and in 

 Neptis all are soft, some segments being without any. The pupse of 

 all the spined larvae are elongated, provided with more or less deve- 

 loped head-points and surface set with small conical tubercles, which 

 are rarely absent but are occasionally developed into flattened expans- 

 ions. Eidhalia has an aberrant larva {aide PI. I, fig. 6), smooth except 

 for long, laterally extended, supraspiracular fleshy processes, all feather- 

 ed: the pupa is angular and smooth, with head-points. Charaxes {vide 

 PI. I, fig. 4) and Apatura (vide PI. I, fig. 5) have altogether naked 

 larvae with horns on the head and more or less developed tail-points ; 

 the pupa of the former is smooth, stout, short without head-points ; 

 of the latter elongate, compressed, dorsally carinated, with head-points, 

 Cyrestis [vide PI. I, fig. 7) is very abnormal : naked except for a long 

 dorsal process on segments 6 and 12, with a horned head ; the pupa 

 elongate with dorsal process and long head-point. The various larvae 

 can be classified as under : — 



A. Laivas with naked bodies ; head large, rather flat 

 and provided with well developed horns ; last 

 segment with more or less well-developed tail- 

 points. 

 a. Head with four horns. The tail-points are short, 

 stout, blunt and widely separated. Pupa 

 short, quite smooth, stout : stoutest at seg- 

 ment 7 Gen.Eulepisva\di Charaxes. 



a^. Body green, striped diagonally with white... Eul. athamas. 

 b^. Body green with a well defined dorsal mark 

 on segment 7 or not. 

 a" . Head with four horns of equal length, 

 a". Dorsal mark on segment 7 crescent- 

 shaped, white Eul. schrelheri . 



&'. Dorsal mark on segment 7 semi circular 



soiled white Ch. imna. 



h- . Head with middle horns much longer than 

 the outer ones, dorsal mark very often 

 absent or nearly so, generally small Ch.fabius.
