Description of the pupa of Heodes dorilis. 



By G. T. BETHUNE-BAKER, E.L.S., F.Z.S. 

 Whilst staying on Mount Canigou last summer I found a dull 

 apple green Lyc^enid larva, which remained for a week without eating, 

 so that I wondered what was going to happen as it did not die and 

 apparently showed no signs of pupating. I examined it each day and 

 at last one morning I found it just completing its metamorphosis. 

 On the same evening I examined it again, when it was a most 

 beautiful object the delicacy of its greens and pinks being quite 

 striking.
