oo SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
The white “‘ plates,” which give such a characteristic appearance to 
the larva of fulvidorsalis, are much smaller, and are usually reduced 
to small lobes near the inner angles of the triangles of black spots 
(fig. 2). No differences have been observed between the pupe. 
The food plant in each case is Thurbergia fragrans, but the larvee 
will also eat 7’. allata and T. coccinea. Finally, it may be pointed 
out that there is a further Ceylon species, Filodes bilinealis, 
Hampsn., about the larva of which nothing as yet is known, though 
it must be widely distributed, having been taken both at Peradeniya 
and Wellawaya.
