black tips ; the anterior legs black ; the ventral legs of the ground-colour of the 

 body — a velvety blueish-green. 



Longitudinally there are sub-dorsal and spiracular rows of black velvety 

 blotches, and between them, at the end of each segment, is a transverse pale yellow 

 semi-transparent oblong mark. 



Looking sideways at the larvae, the sub-dorsal row of black blotches is seen to 

 be composed of two forms in regular order on each segment, viz., anteriorly a thick 

 oval blotch, followed after a short interval by a thinner reniform blotch. The 

 spiracular row follows a similar order, but the blotches differ in shape, being 

 thinner and more of a curved wedge form, with a tendency to unite in a curve 

 below. At the side of the belly above the feet is a fine black interrupted line. 

 The tubercles green, and placed on the green gi-ound- colour in the usual order, 

 bearing fascicles of short whitish hairs. 



Specimens of the following variety were obtained when quite small on clover, 

 by the Rev. Hallett Todd, who most kindly sent them to me on the 3rd May. 

 They fed up on clover and Lotus corniculatus, and the moths appeared from July 

 5th to 25th. When full-grown their green ground-colour was a little paler than in 

 the foregoing, and rather a yellower green ; the sub-dorsal black blotches on 

 each segment were anteriorly a thick, ii-regular, oblong blotch, inclined to be 

 pointed above, followed after a slight intei-val by another similar in shape, but 

 rather thinner below. 



The spiracular row rather shorter, and similar, though more pointed at top, 

 and meeting below by a curve from the anterior blotch, and the hinder blotch 

 having a little tail at the bottom : an interrupted fine black line above the feet. 

 Ventral legs broadly ringed with black above, and their extremities tipped with 

 black ; anterior legs black. — Id.
