74 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



dor-ill dome-shaped spaces of the main ground colour. The lateral 

 line is white, with the transverse rows of white spots. The ocellated 

 spot is double-lobed in shape, blue in colour all over, with no light 

 cores, and is surrounded with the usual deep black line. The horn is 

 sienna-coloured and is pendent, finishing bluntly without a point. The 

 third figure is another abnormal form. The head is dark grey, 

 thoracic segments and anal segments reddish-brown. The dorsal and 

 lateral surfaces are dark blackish-grey, and the lateral line and spots 

 are pale drab, as are the spiracular line and claspers. The ocellated 

 spot is double lobe-shaped, blue, with no light cores, and carries, out- 

 side, the thick black line. Horn reddish-brown, pendent, with blunt 

 termination, as is shown in all three of these figures which were 

 unmistakably drawn from nature. Kirby's Butterflies ami Moths uf 

 Kurnpe has a plate of the larva of the green type, with lavender- 

 coloured markings on the lateral surface. The thoracic segments are 

 yellow, the dorsal surface green, the lateral surface bears large confluent 

 lavender-tinted markings, with white lateral line and spots. The 

 ocellated spot is double lobe-shaped with white cores, and a black 

 outer ring. Horn pendent, blunt at the end. Hofmann's Taafalter- 

 raupen Papiliones shows a figure of the larva of the green form. Head 

 green, thoracic segments yellow, dorsal surface green, lateral surface 

 lavender, lateral line and spots white. Ocellated spot single, round, 

 blue with two small white spots, and black ring. Horn pendent, 

 small, finishing sharply in a fine point. Kayser's Deutsc/ilaiuls 

 SrIniietterUn;ie figures a variety of the larva with a green head, 

 thoracic segments and anal end ; the dorsal and lateral surfaces are 

 a very light bluish-white. The lateral line is dark green with a dove- 

 coloured line below it, both crossed by the transverse rows of white 

 spots. The ocellated spot shown in this plate is singular in character. 

 It is of the double lobe-shaped type, but, instead of being placed 

 horizontally, it is vertical in position, the one lobe above the other. It 

 is blue, with two white cores, and the black line edging it as usual. 

 The horn is pendent, and blunt at the end. Westwood's British 

 Moths illustrates a larva of the ordinary green form. The ocellated 

 spot is single. It is blue with two white cores, and surrounded by the 

 black line. Horn nendent, terminating bluntly. Barrett's Lepiiiop- 

 tera of the British Islands has a plate of the same ordinary type of 

 larva. The ocellated spot is a single circle of blue with a thin black 

 line dividing it, vertically, in the middle. The surrounding ring is 

 grey, outside which is a yellow ring. The horn is pendent, and 

 terminates bluntly. Johnson's Illustrations of British Haul,- Moths 

 and their Larrae shows another example of the green larva. The 

 ocellated spot is formed of two white ovals surrounded with blue rings, 

 which touch each other. The horn is represented as pendent, but 

 turned up at the end, as in the case of the larvae of Mamhtca atropos, 

 and finishing in a point. I^es iJ.pidopteres de F Europe, by Dubois, shows 

 a similar figure, in which the ocellated spot consists of two white ovals 

 surrounded with blue rings, which touch each other. The horn in this 

 case is represented as springing upwards from the summit of the anal 

 segment in a curve, and then inclining downwards. It is l)lunt at the 

 end. The Handbook on the Lej)idoptera of Sireden. \iiruaif, Denuiark, 

 and Finland, by Aurivillius. has a plate of the larva of the more 

 common type in which the ocellated spot is of the double lobe-shape.
