The dorsum of the 1st to 4th abdominal segments is nearly a 

 straight line, in E. pasipliaf it is a decided curve. On 2nd to 7th ab- 

 dominal segments, near, or just outside line of tubercle ii, are slight 

 eminences, giving the appearance of an angle or row of humps along this 

 line. The elevation would, in fact, not be seen but for black spots 

 and white shading intensifying it. This has, however, to be looked 

 for, description might suggest it as something marked and obvious. 

 The anal spine is a very short rounded hump. The nose-spines differ 

 from those of K. iicmphae. The face of the pupa is not, as in K. 

 }>asij)Jiae, in the same plane as the line of the appendages, i.r., the 

 maxillas chiefly, but curves backwards (i.e., dorsad) from the mouth to 

 the ridge of spines, and so the two side ridges extending down in 

 front of the eyes, and forming the boundaries of the face, are simi- 

 larly curved, and not straight, as in E. jiasijihae, and the actual angle 

 which this ridge makes with the one running dorsad is rather more 

 than a right angle. The width across nose-spines is about l-5mm., 

 that across the wing spines 8-5mm., and they are l-Smm. behind nose- 

 spines, and so, on dorsal view, do not at once, by any obvious relation- 

 ship, challange comparison with the nose-spines as those of E. pcmphae 

 do. The one has "high shoulders," the other very sloping ones. 

 The same square area exists between 1st spiracle, wing-spine, and a dorsal 

 ridge, as in E. padphae, but does not present itself as a square at once 

 as it does in E. jicmphac, the dorsal ridge (patagial suture ?) is 

 similarly palely coloured. The wing-ridge is much as in E. pasip/iae, 

 cutting oft" a dorsad flat wing surface. The hindwing is a narrow slip 

 uninfluenced by the spiracles, but making them, especially that of 2nd 

 segment, appear thrust back (just as in E. pasipJiae), the wing extends to 

 end of 3rd segment. The first legs are very short, but proportionally a 

 little larger and broader than in E. pasipliae. The second legs reach to 

 the ventral prominence, the antenna' to end of wings, and maxillae frac- 

 tionally beyond. The wing sculpture consists of raised lines for the 

 nervures and fine transverse lines which appear to be impressed, but 

 are very visible with a glass as darker stri*, in much the same pattern 

 as those on M.;/alathi'a \prorida) and like the markings of I 'ossiis. The 

 margin along Poulton's line is marked by a row of black spots at the 

 extremities of the nervures, 7 in number. There are also various black 

 shadings, where the colour of the striae extends on the general surface, 

 as in the cell and along nervures 2, 3 and 6. The space beyond Poulton's 

 line which broadens so as to be over l-Omm. at the apex, is well 

 marked off and has similar coloration to the wing proper, but of 

 a different pattern, tending to oblique dark lines, and massed 

 apically and opposite nervures 2, 3, 5 and 6. The wing-sculp- 

 ture and marking is really very elaborate and defies description. 

 The antennae have a pale point on middle of each joint; legs and 

 maxillte are transversely striated, both as to colour and impression, 

 and on second leg the ends of tibije and tarsal joints are dark, with 

 a white spot at their extreme tips. Dorsally there is a suture through- 

 out thorax, all is finely sculptured ; the 1st abdominal segment seems 

 to have 5, and the 2nd and 3rd 7 subsegments. There is one movable 

 incision between segments 4 and -5. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 

 and 7th abdominal segments have a similar dorsal pattern of colour. 

 Two black spots, one behind the other near the dorsum (might be i 

 and ii), another lower down (might be iii), there are also some less
