line, ordinary size. Surface of body covered with minute yellow and white 

 tubercles, a row of four relatively largish ones along front margin of each seg- 

 ment. The colour is dark rich bluish-green, with a brown-yellow, narrow, 

 subspiracular, beaded band ; in centre of segment 7 is a large semi-circular 

 dorsal mark, white, suffused dii'ty, bordered by a broad line of deep Prus- 

 sian-blue and with a central distinct cross of a dirtier shade : the mark nearly 

 touches front margin and its apex is at a point § of the width of segment 

 from front margin, but is somewhat variable in size as also in extent of sur- 

 rounding Prussian-blue line ; there are- sometimes three or four or more lateral, 

 large, circular white spots, bordered also blue, one to each segment : but these 

 may be entirely wanting ; ventrum blue-white as well as pseudo-legs and true 

 legs. L : 90 mm. ; B : 11 mm. ; L. of outer horn : 5 mm. 



Pupa. — The pupa is short, stout, thickest in segments 7, 8, smooth. Head 

 square in front forming a very slightly concavely curved edge, the ventral 

 line being straight, the dorsal line of segment 2, head-vertex and segment 

 B forming an uninterrupted curva starting at right angles to the ventral 

 line, but immediately changing to become parallel to that line at posterior 

 margin of segment 3, after which it ascends slightly to segment 7 which is 

 the highest point of dorsum ; dorsal line of thorax has a tendency to carination; 

 a section through the abdomen here would leave the posterior -j of the total 

 length, consisting of segments 8-13, more or less hemispherical with the 

 cremaster fixed slightly perpendicularly to the surface; somewhat on the ventral 

 side of apex ; the cremaster is strong, rectangular, grooved above and below 

 with a laterally buttressed base and a bunch of suspensory hairs at extre- 

 mity ; on each side of buttress is a small red brown spherical tubercle and one 

 more m front on ventral side : in all fi spheres, 4 at base of cremaster and 2 

 in front of it, these last two nearly touching ; the lateral outline from head 

 diverges in a straight line to the broadest part of pupa at segment 7, the 

 wings, perhaps, bemg slightly expanded laterallj^' ; no sign of a constric- 

 tion ; spiracles of segment 2 longly oval, brown ; other spiracles elliptical, 

 yellow-brown with a dark brown linear slit. Colour blue-green, subdorsal and 

 lateral indistinct white line on abdomen, splotchy white markings on thorax ; 

 underneath ej^es, inside wing-margin sufiused with white ; central white 

 splotch on wing ; cremaster red-brown. Surface smooth, somewhat shiny. 

 L : 28 mm ; B. : 15 mm. 



Egg. — The shape is shperical, flattened slightly on top, even a little concave 

 there. The surface is covered with little punctures except on top in the con- 

 cave part where it is covered with little irregular, low-walled hexagonal cells ; 

 the area between the concave top and the sides of sphere is crossed at equal 

 intervals by 22 to 24 fine, beaded ridges which don't reach halfway towards 

 centre of top nor any way down the sides of egg : the spaces between the ridges 

 are indistinctly furrowed at right angles to ridges. The colour is bright 

 j^ellow when just laid, soon becoming reddish brown with lighter spots. B: 

 2'5 mm : H : 1-8 mm.
