2 28 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



and a rather large black spot at the end of the cell ; on the 

 under side a ferruginous line runs round all the wings, and 

 there are two silvery discoidal spots in ferruginous rings on the 

 fore-wings as well as on the hind-wings. The body is yellow, 

 with greenish hairs on the thorax, the antennae and terminal 

 joint of the palpi are rose-colour, varied with brown. 



The larva is green, with a yellow line on each side, sur- 

 mounted by a blue one. It is covered with small black 

 granules, and feeds on different species of Cassia. The 

 pupa is also green, changing to brown before the emergence 

 of the Butterfly. As will be seen by the figure, the anterior 

 projection is very conspicuous, and the ventral surface is 

 much rounded, but the upper surface of the body is slightly 

 concave, without the hump on the thorax, which is so con- 

 spicuous in the pupa of Catopsilia. 



The remaining genera of this group all belong to Tropical 

 America. Aphrissa, Butler, differs from Callidryas chiefly by 

 its longer palpi, especially in the female. The type, A. statira 

 (Cramer), a South American species, is rather smaller, and of a 

 paler yellow than Callidryas eiihule ; towards the hind-margins, 

 w^hich are narrowly bordered with black, the colour shades into 

 whitish ; the under side is marked only with a silvery discal 

 spot on the hind-wings, ringed with brown. In the female, the 

 border is rather broader, and there is a black discoidal spot on 

 the fore-wings above, and a corresponding spot beneath, centred 

 with silvery ; there is also a series of slight disconnected brown 

 sagittate spots on the disc, following a short zig-zag line run- 

 ning from the inner edge of the brown apex of the fore- 



winss 



The next genus, Fhcebis^ HLibner, has a tuft of silky hairs in
