1 66 Lloyd's natural history. 



The antennae are setiform, and the palpi yellow, tipped with 

 blue; the head is also tinged with blue. The fore-wings 

 are light brown, mottled with grey and green, glossy, and 

 changing colour in different lights. The hind-wings are orange- 

 yellow, each with a round, black central spot, and a rather 

 narrow black marginal band, dentated on the inner side, and 

 marked with about eight white spots on the fringes. The 

 thorax is olive-green, and the abdomen orange-yellow. 



The larva, which is about two inches and a half long, lives 

 on the leaves of the Amoordah Beeloo, and a number of 

 other trees. It is reddish-brown, darker at the extremities, and 

 tending to olive-brown on the middle segments. There are 

 brownish dorsal and sub-dorsal lines, the latter interrupted 

 on the fifth and on the sixth segments by an eye-spot, which 

 is yellow in its upper, and purplish in its lower half, and 

 centred with pale violet. The back and sides are irregularly 

 mottled with pale violet and yellow, and on the twelfth segment 

 is a vermillion-coloured projection spotted with pale violet, and 

 with a broad yellow stripe on each side. The stigmata are 

 violet, and the legs are reddish-brown tipped with black. 

 The head is vermillion red. 



The pupa is formed between the leaves, which are woven 

 together with coarse yellow silk. 



GENUS GRAPHIGONA. 



Graphigona, Walker, List Lepid. Ins. Brit. Mus. xiii. p 1230 



(1858). 

 This is a small South American genus, sufficiently distin- 

 guished by the broad margin of the fore-wings being straight 

 and obUque, and the inner margin slightly angulated near the 

 base, and then running to the hinder angle in a very long and 

 shallow curve.
