from the gland on segment 11 ; segments 12-14 are one piece with 

 the divisions invisible, the slope being at an angle of about 30 ° with 

 the longitudinal axis : the extremity is broadly rounded. Besides thc 

 rather small, transverse gland on segment 11, the two small extensile 

 organs on segment 12 are also present, the openings being circular and in 

 the usual position ; segment 2 is semi-circular in outline and has the usual 

 dorsal depression which is shallow ; segment 3 has the thickening from the 

 hinder margin forward instead of vice-versa as in the other segments so 

 that it overhangs segment 2. Head small, round, light-yellow in colour, 

 very smooth and shining — the clypeus is triangular, the jaws and eyes dark 

 red-brown and black respectively. Surface only slightly shining, covered 

 with mmute, short, light, semi-appressed hairs all over, these hairs with 

 thickened bases and only visible with a strong lens ; some longer hairs 

 round the front margin of segment 2 and round the extreme margin of the 

 anal flap ; there is a small, round depression on dorsum of each segment 

 3-5, another on the front margin of segment 2 and a lateral, longitudinal 

 depression on, and parallel to the margins of segments 3-6. The spiracles 

 are small, flush, round, white in colour and are situated well above the 

 dorso ventral line. The colour is enamel-white with a dark-green, dorso- 

 lateral triangle with its base on the front margin of each segment, the apex 

 running back in a thin band to join a green' band along the hinder margin 

 .jf the segment from the dorsolateral region to the dorsoventral line ; this 

 band about one-quarter as wide as the segment is long; besides: a dorsal, 

 green triangle on each segment, its base on the front margin, not 

 reaching the dorsolateral line or triangle, its apex situated about the 

 middle ot the segment ; the upper side of dorsal triangle border- 

 ed thinly maroon ; also a maroon spot at the bottom of tne band along the 

 hinder margins of the segments near the dorsoventral margin and a 

 maroon, thin, dorsal line, interrupted on the green triangles ; ventrum 

 light-green. 



Another larva was dark-green with a deep rose-coloured but rather fine, 

 very distinct, dorsal line ; . a large, triangular, greenish-yellow, subdorsal 

 patch touching the dorsal line in one basal angle at hinder margin of each 

 segment 3-10, each triangle bordered below narrowly by deep rose- 

 colour ; a subspiracular, yellow band interrupted at segment-margins by a 

 deep rose-coloured mark on segments 4-10 : the dorsal line extends from 

 segments 3 to anal extremity. L: 16 mm.; B: 3-5 mm. at segment 7 

 which is the broadest part. 



Pupa.—'lhe pupa resembles that of Li/ccenest/ies emolus in general appear- 

 ance except that it is more robust than that, more compact. The dia- 

 mond-shaped mark on the hinder dorsal slope of the thorax is also present- 

 indeed it is this mark which makes the resemblance so striking. The body 

 is blunt in front, the vertex of the head being flat and in a plane at right 

 angles to the longitudinal axis of the pupa ; the head is quite invisible from 

 above : segment 2 is more or less semi-circular in outline as regards the 

 front margin though somewhat adapted to fit the flat head-surface; the dorsal 

 slope of segment 2 is ascending at an angle of about 4-5° to the longitudinal 

 axis and is the same as the slope of the anterior part of thorax; the thorax 

 is but little humped, its highest part being very close to the hinder margin, 

 the fall to segment 4 being sudden though small; there is no constriction 

 worth the name at segment 4 either dorsally or laterally ; the broad- 

 est part is at segment 7 though there is very little dift'erence any- 

 where between that and the shoulders ; the anal end is somewhat broadly 

 rounded. The surface of the body is covered with very minute, white 

 tubercles, not particularly dense. The spiracles of segment 2 are narrow, 

 white slits, the rest are slightly raised, oval and white. The colour is
