replaced with golden yellows, while the hindwings and body are 

 identical, except in being somewhat lighter. The male has the 

 hindwings pale green, the transverse white band very slender, 

 the tips of the wings less marbled, and the white markings on the 

 hind edge of the wings enclosing no circular ring, the hindwings 

 pale whitish-green. 



The larva does not form a felty bag round the stem, but after 

 gnawing a furrow half round the branch, covers it with a thin 

 web, and only makes a bore about three inches down the centre of 

 the stem. When ready to pupate, it closes the entrance to the 

 bore with a delicate semi-transparent membranous covering 

 almost as thin as tissue-paper. This species also breeds annually, 

 generally going into the chrysalid state in December, and emer- 

 ging in January.
