skin reached mo. Colonel Bowker describes its colouring as " briglit green 

 bencatli and pale green with l)right spots above." In shape it somewhat re- 

 sembles the pupa of P. Nireus (L.), but is more attenuated anteriorly (with the 

 cephalic prominences much shorter, and scarcely bent outwardly at all), and very 

 much broader abdominally; the superior part of abdominal margin not angulated, 

 but prominently convex. As far as I have been able to trace its distribution, 

 Eiq^hranor seems to be very local, and limited to highdyiug forest tracts.

 sjjots of the same colour in kind-wing ; cilia black, interrupted with

 but never broad, and always narrowing interiorly to inner margin, — 

 its commencement close to costa, at extremity of discoidal cell, con-

 and divided into three unequal spots by subcostal nervure and upper 

 disco-cellular nervule ; — main stripe divided into six inwardly more or 

 less hollowed, outwardly more or less projecting portions by crossing 

 neuration, — the uppermost portion being in discoidal cell ; close to 

 apex two rather small spots, obliquely placed, of which the inner and 

 inferior one is the larger ; in some examples, close to hind-margin, 

 lying between upper radial nervule and submedian nervure, a more 

 or less incomplete series of very small inter-nervular spots (the lower
