a. b. c. d. c? ? • Java. From Dr. Horsfield's Col- 

 lection. 



" In Java, the larva of this species feeds on various species of 

 Cassia, particularly on the C. fistula and C ohtusifolia ; it is, how- 

 ever, occasionally found on other plants. It is extremely abundant, 

 particularly in the early part of the rainy season, after the renewal 

 of the foliage of these plants. I must, however, remark, that the 

 various species of Colias resemble each other so closely in the larva 

 state, that the distinction of species is extremely difficult. The 

 greatest number of specimens obtained by breeding belong to this 

 species (C Scylla) ; but in examining the series put up in Java in 

 illustration of the drawings pi'epared during the progress of this 

 research, I observed several specimens of C. Juyurthina and C. Al- 

 cmeone, a circumstance which shows their near resemblance in the 

 larva state. Among these specimens is contained that remarkable 

 variety of O. JugurtMna figured by Cramer with the name of Papilio 

 CromZe."— (Horsfield.) 



Tlie larva and pupa of C. Scylla are figured on Plate 1, fig. 9, 9a, 

 from Java.
