this species : — " Nov. 9tli, 1884. I have caught several impregnated females, but I 

 find that they are unwilling to deposit their eggs in captivity, and have hitlierto 

 invariably died without doing so ; but from one female (the form true Roimdus, 

 as figuied by Cramer, with a large amount of dull red and no white in cells of the 

 hindwings) captured on Sept. 23rd, I expressed a single egg, after the death of the 

 fly. This egg hatched out on Sept. 30th, was reared upon orange-leaves, and is 

 now, Nov. 9th, in the pupa stage. From this pupa the imago emerged on Jan. 

 23rd, 1885, and I now send you the specimen." 



This specimen, as above reared by Mr. Green, is a male of the true Pammon 

 form (as figured on Plate 50, fig. 1), with the curved white band across the hind- 

 wings. Mr. Green in a subsequent note also says : " 1 have seen all the different 

 forms of the female on the wing in the same months."

 Mr. E. Ernest Green has favoured me with a drawing (which is here reproduced) 

 of the larva of this species, and the following description : — " Egg tawny, globular, 

 ribbed, a small point at apes. Larva dark purple-black, with crimson coloured 

 spines, two on second segment, eight on each of third and sixth, six on each of 

 eighth to tenth, and four on thirteenth; seventh segment with pale cream-coloured 

 transverse band (interrujDted on the dorsal line), including four spines of the same 

 colour, below which on each side is a single crimson spine ; on second segment is a 

 band composed of four pale tubercular spots, from the two central of which can be 

 protruded a pair of short blunt yellow horns."

ISMENE (EDIPODEA. 



Ismfne Q^dipodea (Lep. of Ceylon, i. p. 158), Plate 211, Fig. 2, larva. 

 " Larva very similar to that of Bibasis Sena, the chief differences being in 

 colour of the head, which is black and orange ; a yellow stripe, continuous, above 

 the lateral spot; the spots themselves being enclosed in- a pale ring and set in 

 a smoky lateral stripe; spots on twelfth segment orange; a single white spot 

 upon anal flap. Feeds on Hiptage. Pupa pale salmon colour, powdered over with 

 a thin pearly bloom ; two distinct raised black spots in front of thorax, and other 

 indistinct spots almost hidden by the bloom. No bald spot on thorax." — (E. E.
