are black at the extremity, white or pearly grey on the outer side and black 

 or dark lilac on the inner side. The head is black with milky-white spots, 

 while on each of the pro-legs and on the anal segment occurs a black dot. 

 The larvae not only nibble the edges of leaves but make holes in them, first 

 nibbling through the prominent veins on the under side and proceeding thence 

 to eat awa}'. 



The pupa is similar in form to that of the related species, being likewise 

 green with some white spots on the back of the thorax which subsequently 

 become partly of a golden lustre. In addition there is a row of black dots at the 

 boundary of thorax and abdomen, each in turn surrounded by a white ring and 

 all arranged on a dull gre)- band which is mostly of a golden lustre. The figures 

 of larva and pupa by Moore do not quite agree with mine. My descriptions 

 have invariably been taken from the living animal.

Snellen noted with reference to this species that, indeed, it differs slightly 

 from D. Cleona Cram (IV, /. 173, //. 377 F 1782) from the Moluccas, 

 being somewhat smaller and somewhat longer-winged while the markings are 

 partly greyish white and the streak in the discoidal cell of the fore-wings is 

 never entirely interrupted at the middle, but that, nevertheless, it must probably 

 be looked upon as a form of that species without this being confirmed, 

 however, by sufficient transition forms.
