E. J. Province of Pasourouan (+ 500) (Fruiist.). 



During life the butterfly has blood-red eyes. The larva feeds on a rolled 

 up leaf of a Bambusa species. 



The body is whitish green, but grows gradually into a lime-white ; the 

 fore legs are black, the spiracles black with a black cross-line on the first 

 thoracic segment. The large head is yellow or orange coloured with a little 

 black close to the mouth parts. The yellow pupa with a somewhat thickened 

 head end is concealed in a bambooleaf, which is, however, so closely spun 

 together, that I could not exactly fix the day on which the larva pupated. 

 A larva that had shut itself up in this manner concealed on the 1 7"^ of March 

 gave the imago on the 25''' of the same month.

This butterfly has also blood-red eyes during life. The larva lives also 

 in a rolled up and fastened leaf of a Bambusa species ; its colour is red or 

 brown, covered, however, with much white, the rounded anal-extremity is 

 blackish and overgrown with white little hairs; on the back of the last segments 

 some black dots are seen ; the spiracles are black also. On the c? specimens 

 the j'ellow testes shine distinctly through. The flat part of the big^ head is a
