lunulated, pale jellow line, on the g'*" segment a conspicuous quadrate patch 

 of white between the spiracular yellow lunule and the crimson dorsal line; 12^^ 

 and remaining segments dark green; on the 12''^ two greenish-yellow, erect, 

 rigid processes seem to be pinkish brown in colour, with a tuft of black and 

 white hairs at their spices ; but it is not easy to note the colour of the hairs, 

 as they are protruded, whirled round and withdrawn with great rapidity. 

 There is no opening or honey gland on the i i •'' or other segment as in many 

 Lycaenid larvae. In shape also these do not resemble the larvae of the 

 Lycaenidae which, as a rule, are onisciform. In these the head is small and 

 almost always completely hidden under the 2"^^ segment; the y^, 4^^ and s'*^ 

 segments sloped upwards posteriorly, form each a well-marked transverse ridge. 

 Pupa. A rounded slightly convex disc with a protrusion posteriorly ; colour 

 translucent dark green. Seen under a magnifying glass they seem to be 

 studded with tiny pits, except on the lateral areas ; on the anterior portion 

 there is an oval yellowish -white mark,"

Snellen, although temporarily accepting this species, considers it very 

 likely that it is the same as the preceding one. 



W. J. Vicinity of the Tjiletou or Sandbay on the south coast (150).

E. J. Without further indication of place of capture.

Snellen thinks it not impossible that this species may be the same as 

 C. CiNVRA Cram, erroneously called C. Phoeurus F., to which also the 

 C. Phoedrus F. of DE NiCEViLLE Butt. of India p. 286, pi. 27, fig. 201 cf 

 would belong. Besides this de Niceville mentions C. Thetis Drury as from 

 Java, of which he describes minutely the ^<gg, the larva — living upon young 

 leaves of Derris Scandens Benth. and Heynea Trijuga Roxb. — and the pupa. 

 Bingham and Swinhoe copy this from him. There seems, therefore, still to 

 be some confusion here.
