The eyes of this very common butterfly are dark reddish brown during its 

 hfe. According to van Deventer the larva reaches a length of 50 to 55 

 millimeters; it feeds on djagoung (zea mays L.), padi (oryza sativa L.), tebou 

 (SACHARUM OFFiciNARUM L.), bamboo (Bambusa spec.) and sereh ivangi (andro- 

 POGON schoenanthus L.). It is dim, greenish yellow, on the foremost segments 

 somewhat brighter with two dull yellow lengthwise streaks, and fine transverse 

 folds. By magnifying, many black dots on back and sides become visible. 

 The hindpart of the body ends rounded off and is near the anal extremity 

 overgrown with short white hairs. The head has a peculiar appearance; on 

 the very young larva it is black, dotted with some white, afterwards, however, 

 it becomes gray, divided into two parts by a thin vertical black line, which 

 sometimes thickens at the upper and lower end, in each of the two divisions 

 are— mostly two— round black spots. With the grown up larva the head is 

 white and 4 of such spots are usually to be seen, and above these sometimes 

 also black streaks; this black head-marking is not in all individuals entirely 

 the same; there is evidently some times more or less black than otherwise. 

 From my numerous, but often hastily made, notes concerning these larvae it 

 appears to me, that these black spots are sometimes substituted by more or 

 less bent black vertical streaks, one at each side of the head, and that the 

 heads of some larvae, saving a dark margin, should be entirely white. This, 

 however, must still be setded by a special inquiry in this direction. The pupa 

 is light green with two parallel white streaks at the back, its form is that ot 

 udaspes folus Cram. (See pi. X, fig. 79 b). The right haustellum is separated 

 from the body and reaches to the anal extremity. I found it fastened on that 

 extremity and the normal girdle thread to a bamboo-leaf; once I think observed
