Caterpillar at bittb. The head is as broad as llie body or barely narrower limn the 

 llrst thorni-ic sej;nient ; frontal triangle larjte, more than half as high as the head, 

 nearly as broad at base as MsU. Boily snbcyllndric, scarcely taperlnj; from in front 

 backward, the lirst considerably larger than the other thoracic se;:nients, fnrnished with 

 rather shorter bristles than the rest of the body, few in nnniber and rei;nlarly dis- 

 posed. The other seitnients have re-jnlarly disposed appendages as follows: — a snl)- 

 dorsal series of hljih papillae and long, laperinir liairs, as long as the widtli of the 

 body, on the thoracic and llrst eight alidominal segments, a little in advance of the 

 middle; a laterodorsal series of small papillae with shorter liairs, on the same seg- 

 ments, centrally situated ; a laterostigmatal series of high papillae with comparatively 

 short trniiciitc (but not. as represented in 71 : 5 clubbed) bristles, on the llrst six abdomi- 

 nal segments, two to a segment, one anterior and a little lower with slightly longer 

 bristle, the other posterior and higher. There is also a similar but longer infralaleral 

 bristle, anteriorly placeil. on the thinl thoracic segment; and an infrastigmatal series 

 of long hairs three to a segment, of which one is central, on a liigh papilla directly on 

 the substigmatal fold, and the others are on lower papillae, one a little lower and ante- 

 rior, the third above it and posterior. There are also series of hairless lenticles or 

 annnlias follows : a snpralateral series on the thoracic and sixth to seventh abdominal 

 segments, the former large, the latter small; a lateral series, large on the llrst eight 

 abdominal segments, a small, infralateral one ou the fourth abdominal segment (and 

 on all the segments a small, suprastigmatal series and on the abdominal segments a 

 small, infrastigmatal series; these last I have been unable to verify since my notes 

 were madei. .Ml hairs and bristles are microscopically spiculed. 



Mature caterpillar. Head hardly more than one-tenth the width of the body. Body 

 longitudinally arched, more al)rn|itly curveil in front and behind, more strongly in 

 front than behind, but in the middle with a narrow dorsal Held and tectiform sides, 

 the incisures deeply cut. On most of the segments there is a subdorsal group of 

 spiculiferous hairs, which in the earlier stages are subequal, long, erect and forward 

 curving, but later are unequal, a single longer one curving outward, the shorter ones 

 erect. The crateriform annuli of the llrst stage continues at least into the next; full 

 notes were not taken. The caterpillar difters from that of Cyaniris in the great 

 breadth and llatness of the last abdominal segment and in the more lateral position of 

 the caruncles of the eighth abdominal segment. 



Chrysalis. Long and slender, nearly four times as long as broad, the sides, viewed 

 from aliove. parallel and straight from the base of the wings to their tip, beyond 

 which the abdomen tapers a very little and ends in a long elliptic curve. Viewed lat- 

 erally, the abdomen is highest at the third and fourth abdominal segments and is very 

 broadly and regularly arched; and, although not high, the upper part of tlie ninth seg- 

 ment is perpendicular: transversely the abdomen is regularly rounded, forming perhaps 

 a little more than a semicircle; three-fourths of the tongue exposed, the inner edges 

 of the legs resting iigainst it; biis-il wing prf)minence apparently altogether absent; 

 surface of the abdomen transversely, coarsely and infreciuently striated, particularly on 

 the hinder part of the segments ami with very distant minute warts, perhaps l."i-20 

 on the dorsum of a single segment, giving rise to long, nearly equal, apically taper- 

 ing, pretty slender hairs. Similar hairs are found all over the thorax where they are 

 slightly longer. 



The body, says Dr. Harris, is slightly contracted laterally before the middle, broad- 

 est behind the middle, more obtuse before than behind, and the thorax projects slightly 

 above. 



This genii8 is represented by four or five species in tlio nortiierii licnii-
