segment ; in which bands arc s(x!n two olive-green lines. Along the confines 

 of the belly these bands united into a gra)'ish green streak. On each segment 

 the same subdorsal azure dots are seen as in the above-mentioned larva. The 

 dark orange head shows also the same drawing of black spots (see fig. d). 

 The difference between the two larva-forms is, indeed, not so great as it 

 appears to be at first sight, and consists for the greater part herein, that the 

 irregular yellow spots of fig. b are more regularly united into crossbands in 

 fig. d and that the colour of the head of the latter is more clear. 



The pupa in found between two leaves, spun together with some threads, 

 and is of a wax-like white, under which, however, the deep black ground 

 colour is distinctly visible. There is a subdorsal row of black spots : on the 

 wings are black streaks ; on the thorax many projecting knobs and two oblong 

 projections on which also are little black streaks. On the tenth day, the 

 g^i^ of February, the imago appeared.

See what is mentioned above for the larva of Bibasis Sena Moore. The 

 larva of this species feeds on the same plant and on a climber which at 

 Buitenzorg was said to be called, oyot poi^arapat (?). It is bluish-black 

 with two white dorsal lines and on each segment a subdorsal oblong, dark 

 yellow or orange coloured spot, which however, on the first thoracic segment 

 is not ver}- distinct. The under-side is light green, on its confines appears a 

 lip-ht green line. The fore-side of the head is black with a peculiar yellow 

 drawing along the edge. The pupa is rose-coloured or reddish-brown with a 

 subdorsal row of round yellow spots and still another row of round black ones ; 

 also many black spots on the thorax. The head shows a pointed projection.
