 (Cratoxylon Celebicum BL). It was yellowish with a black head. The short 

 chrysalis resembled also that of the following species.

identical with P. Angulata from Felder. The figures given by Feeder and 



Distant are but slightly accurate.

This butterfly is common at Batavia, in the wet as well as in the middle 

 (August, September) of the dry season. It is fond of basking in the full 

 sunshine. The larva feeds on the leaves of warou (Hibiscus Tiliaceus Sw.), 

 pouloiiian (Urena Lappago Sm.), randoit (Eriodendrum Anfractuosum D. C.) 

 and droivak (Grewia Blumei Hassk. var. /3 Obversa). It does not live in 

 rolled up leaves, but in those which are only drawn together with some threads ; 

 for some time, however, it abandons that home to go and feed on other 

 leaves. To perform the process of moulting, it secludes itself for some time 

 in a part of a leaf, spun together with a few threads. The general colour of 

 the young larva is a dull yellow, sometimes a little greenish, of the grown up 

 larva ochreous. On magnifying it, one sees on the body many cross decussated 

 wrinkles, it proves to be covered with prominences which are overgrown with 

 short white hairs. The anal extremity is round shaped. A large brown scale 

 is seen on the back of the first thoracic segment. The head is large, at the 

 apex deeply bifurcated, bfown and thickly overgrown with short, gray, brown 

 and yellow hairs.
