rated from the inner row of white spots by the diffused black edging 

 of white patch ; ochre-yellow of border darker and rather broadly and 

 regularly edged with black throughout. 



$ Like $ ; hind-wing witli ochre-yellow anal-angular spot better 

 developed. Under sidk. — HiiuJ-iring : white inner-marginal border 

 not black-edged, but with a blackish longitudinal streak running near 

 iis inner edge about as far as end of abdomen. 



Head with frontal white spots smaller. Ahdomcn above more 

 decidedly black down the middle, with the white on each side more 

 sharply separated, and so widened in apical half that tlie ochre-yelloiv 

 lateral hand does not extend hei/ond fourth segment; beneath with the 

 black middle and lateral streaks and segmental incision streaks more 

 strongly marked. 



In addition to the various differences above pointed out, Morania 

 presents shorter and more rounded wings, and much slighter dentation 

 of the hind-wings. 



Larva. — Dull-green with a yellowish tinge ; two parallel darker 

 transverse lines across back of each segment ; incisions of segments 

 pale bluish-grey. First thoracic segment and lateral stripe bright- 

 yellow, the latter deepening to orange on last segment, and edged infe- 

 riorly throughout by dark-green. Lower portion of sides pale bluish- 

 green, with a bluish-white stripe immediately above legs. Head pale- 

 green. Each thoracic segment with a pair of short, pointed, laterally 

 projecting spines, of which the first pair is shortest and mainly black, 

 but sandy-yellow' at base, — the second ferruginous basally, but thence 

 lj]ack, — and the third whitish tinged with blue; between the bases 

 of the second and third pairs a transverse ferruginous-brown streak 

 (incomplete on second thoracic segment). Anal segment bearing dor- 

 sally a pair of terminal, short, acute, yellow spines. 



A small example in an earlier moult is very different, having 

 three dorsal longitudinal blackish lines, of which the middle one is 

 thinnest, the transverse darker dorsal lines more developed, and a 

 blackish transverse bar on the penultimate segment. The lower sides 

 and the under side are fuscous, the head is sandy-yellow, the thoracic 

 spines are proportionally larger, and the transverse bars between the 

 second and third pairs broader and much darker. 



Food-plant, Arteihejtrjjs, n. sp., one of the Anonacca3, native of 

 D'Urban, Natal, and Delagoa Bay. (Determined for Colonel Bowker, 

 on reference to Kew, by Mr. J. Medley Wood, Curator of the Botanic 

 Gardens, D'Urban.) 



Pupa. — Stout, rounded, but tapering posteriorly to rather a long 

 point ; not depressed or widened dorsally, as in Brasideis. Not nearly 

 so blunt and rounded anteriorly as in Brasidas, the cephalic promi- 

 nences, though short, being acute and widely divergent. Dorso-thoracic 

 peak not so long as in Brasidas, and more ascendant, so as not to pro- 

 ject so I'ar in iVont of the head. About one inch in length. Bright-
