arc also 3 raised points placed triaiv^ularly. The spaces between the points elevated 

 into a ri(l!j;e. \Vint;-cases traversed by several brown waved lines crossing each 

 other, and giving a net-like apj-jeai-ance. The cast skin of the larva clings to the 

 crenia ter, and forms part of the attajhment of ths chry-al;^.

 Gonepteryx Clorinde, Godt. CJ.rysa/is. 



Cream wiiile, the sides ot the abdom.n and the dorsum maiked with a streak of 

 pale che>tiuit brown. The h.-ad is continued into a short, avN Mike btal-, the ex- 

 tremity of which in the (^ is black and bent upwaids in a short ho,;k, while in the 

 O it is swollen, roughened at the tip, and li^^ht ch -stiuit brown in color. The wliola 

 surface is slightly wi-iid<led, e.-pecially on the antcrioi- poi tion of tl e abdo ninal seg- 

 ments. The spiraclei a:e yellowish. The ihorax .iLx.vj is slightly rai-ed into a 

 hump. The larva transforms under a leaf, attaching its silken thread to the m;drib. 

 This is fixed around the centre ot the wing-cases. The ciemnster, which is slightly 

 blotched with black, is attacli.-d also to the midrib of the leaf by a small elevated 

 silken button. 



Length 35 mm. Width 10 mm. Width over wing-ca-;es 14 mm. 

 From several specimens seiil me by Wm. Schaiis, Esq., Jr. Though 

 there is doubt as to thi.s insect belonging to our fauna, I make no apology 

 for introducing this description here. 



Pamphila Ethlius, Cram. Chrysalis. 



Color after exclusion pale buft", surface with a slight mealy covering. Form 

 nearly cylindrical, tapering somewhat abruptly from the 4th abdominal segment, the 

 anal segment being strongly pointed, triangular, margined, with a deep fovea in "the 

 centre, thus elevating the sides of this segment into sharp ridges. The surface of the 

 abdominal segments is roughened by slightly raised reticulations, and in some speci- 

 mens, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd segments are some faint brown shades. The wing- 

 cases are smooth— slightly glossy. In the r^ chrysalis the spiracles are marked with 

 black dots, in the § they are concolorous with the rest of the body. The head bears 

 a sharply pointed process, about 4 mm. in length, slightly curved upward, and 

 roughened at ihe extremity. 



Length 40 mm. Widtn 10 mm. 



The larva cuils itself up in a leaf (as in the case o{ Eiidamiis D'tyrus) 

 to which it is attached by a silken thread placed around the wing covers — 

 the surface of the leaf bearing a thin silken web. — From many example?

HETEROCERA. 



Family SPHINGIDiE. 

 CEUopus tantalus, L. Pupa. 



In shape like that of //(Wrt/j Thysbe — almost cylindrical, very slightly sw 

 about the middle, and abruptly narrowing at 5th abdominal segment. Color pii 

 with the posterior margin of the abdominal segments chestnut brown, those of tin 

 5th and 6th segments broadly so. Thorax almost smooth, with faint waved 1 

 Anterior portion of abdominal segments a little roughened. Cremaster produce' 

 a short, sharp pomt. 



Length 30 mm. Width lo mm.
