1/6 LÉPIDOPTÉROLOGIE COMPARÉE 



ail over with minute whitish warts, each bearing a very minute 

 claw-like point. 



" The ground colour is grass-green, striped longitudmally with 

 a very dark velvety-green medio-dorsal band, palest at each end; 

 this is bordered with a fine whitish line; a sub-dorsal white stripe 

 tinged with lemon-yellow, which terminâtes in the anal point; a 

 sub-spiracular stripe rather whiter; ail the stripes are equidistant; 

 between the sub-dorsal and sub-spiracular stripes is a dark green 

 subcutaneous irregular line; the anal points are rose-pink and 

 white. The head is green, mouth parts and eye spots brownish; 

 the legs and claspers also green. 



" The first one spun up for pupation on May loth, and pupated 

 6 a. m., May I3th, 191 2. Another larva suspended for pupation 

 on May 28th, and pupated early a. m., May 30th, 191 2. 



" The pupa greatly resembles that of C. pamphilus, but has 

 the abdomen less curved and is rather larger. It measures 7/16 in. 

 long, and is elegantly proportioned. Latéral view : head angular, 

 thorax slightly keeled and swollen dorsally, abdomen tapering 

 and rather swollen towards the base, and curving to the anal 

 segment, which terminâtes in a knobbed cremaster amply provided 

 with a dense cluster of amber-coloured hooks similar in construc- 

 tion to those of 6". pamfhïlus. Ventral surface : the wings swollen 

 near apex, the outline then slightly concaved to head. Dorsal 

 view : head broad and truncated, angular at base of wings; 

 abdomen swollen at middle, then tapering to anal extremity. The 

 colour at first is a vivid translucent green over the head, thorax, 

 and wings; abdomen yellower green, which gradually' becomes 

 greener. After a day old to the end of the fourth day it is of a 

 most intense brilliant clear emerald-green, finely freckled with 

 greenish white, very faint at first, but becoming more distinct after 

 the fourth day. A duU olive-green streak runs along the inner 

 margin of the wing, which forms a slight ridge, bordered along 

 the inner edge with a whitish streak; thèse streaks are continued 

 in front of the head, but broken through by the antennae and eyes; ^ 

 two other streaks run parai lel with the nervures, one médian, the
