64 LEPIDOPTERA. 



glistening green ; cilia white. A large patch of whitish 

 scales lies in the dark grey area near the dorsal margin. 

 Sexes similar. 



Underside of all the wings dull greenish-gi^ey, greener 

 towards the hind margins, with a white line from the apex 

 of the fore wings obliquely to the dorsal margin, and con- 

 tinued on the hind wings to near the anal angle. At the 

 apex of the fore wings is an orange cloud ; near it, but in- 

 side the white line, are two more, large and elongated ; at the 

 anal angle two more, all dusted and clouded with brown. 

 Hind wings clouded with orange near the base, and having 

 in this orange cloud a white, black-edged dot. Between this 

 and the white stripe is a curv^ed indistinct double stripe, 

 whitish and brownish ; and outside the white transverse line 

 there is an indistinct interrupted brownish -orange band, 

 most distinct towards the anal angle. Under part of thorax 

 green ; of abdomen greenish, tinged and blotched with faint 

 orange, and with a white central longitudinal line. Legs pale 

 greenish-grey.

Larva four inches long, very stout and of nearly equal thick- 

 ness from the fifth segment. Anterior segments tapering 

 rapidly ; head small ; horn short and rough, pointing back- 

 ward and depressed at the tip. Head green or brown ; three 

 next segments yellow tinged or shaded with either green or 

 brown ; body, from the fourth segment, with the dorsal sur- 

 face broadly deep green or olive green, or more rarely ochreous 

 or brownish, yellow, dotted with black or white. This dark 

 dorsal portion is edged by a broad lateral whitish or yellowish 

 white stripe which extends to the twelfth segment, there 

 bending up to the base of the horn and cutting off the dark 

 colouring from the thirteenth segment, which in the green 

 larva is reddish-ochreous or yellow-green, in the brown larvas 

 yellow. Body below the lateral stripe of a paler hue than 

 the dorsal portion. On each side of the fourth segment is a
