The larva and pupa are figured on Plate III., fig. 6, Qa, the dis- 

 covery of which we owe to S. N. Ward, Esq., of the Madras civil 

 service, from whose drawing our figures were copied. 



Among the drawings made by Lady Gilbert in India, the trans- 

 formations of this species are given, and her ladyship states the lai-va 

 was brought to her on a branch of orange-tree on the 3rd July, and 

 on the 8th it changed to a chrysalis, the perfect insect emerging on 

 the 17th. 



" The male of P. Erithonius is without the blue lunule, the female 

 has it ; and both sexes vary in having or not having one or two spots 

 outside the closing vein of the discoidal cell of the lower 'wing ; 

 beneath, the markings in both are nearly identical, lunule and all." 

 — (E. Templeton, Esq., Trans. Ent. Soc. V. p. 44.) 



" Occurs in the Deyrah Dhoon, and likewise in the Hills during 

 summer. I have received it from Madras, and frequently took it at 

 Neemuch, in Western India. The larva feeds on the Citron, and is 

 green, with a reddish or orange-coloured head ; the fourth segment 

 of the body is also bordered with the same colour, and there is a 

 lateral oblique stripe on the hinder parts, which is blackish and 

 edged with white ; the spiracles are black : there are two short 

 tentacular horns projecting from the anterior segment and two 

 others from the anal segment, beneath which latter is a whitish 

 stripe, running obliquely forwards and downwards ; a white lateral 

 stripe above the legs, which are yellowish." — (Captain T. Hutton, 

 Proc. Ent. Soc. V. p. 48.)
