shows on the back a broad black cross stroke, and 4 gray cross Hnes. White 

 spiracles. On the confines of the under-side a white elevated streak. The head

The beautiful larva seems to be dimorphous, as occurs with more cater- 

 pillars, f. i. with those of Callidryas Pomona F. One that fed on daivon 

 laban (Combretum Lajifolium B1.) had a velvet-black colour, with a dorsal row 

 irregular, deep yellow spots and on the sides still another row of such spots, 

 which were, however, larger and somewhat oblong square. On the i^' and 2"'' 

 thoracic segments the yellow of all these spots become white. Between the 

 two rows an azure coloured dot is seen on the foremost part of each segment 

 and in each of the yellow spots on the sides also a little black mark in which 

 the spiracles are to be found. The head is a faint orange with a peculiar

 Bl., was also velvet-black with a grayish green longitudinal and between each
