The Larva of Euplcea Midamus figured by Dr. Horsfield is nearly cylindrical, rather slenderer towards the head, 

 armed anteriorly with three pairs of elongate tentacula, and a similar pair on the penultimate segment. These 

 tentacula are flesh-coloured at the base for about one third their length, black beyond. The larva itself is ringed with 

 white and flesh colour, and more narrowly with black ; the sides have a series of yellow patches marked with black 

 dots. 



The Pupa is ovate, the abdomen broad, the thorax constricted, especially behind. Tt is of a golden coppery colour, 

 with black markings. 



The Perfect Insects occur throughout the warmer parts of Asia and Australia, the islands of the Indian 

 Archipelago and of the Pacific Ocean. They are particularly numerous in the most eastern of the Asiatic islands, and 

 in the Polynesian groups. No species is found in the New World, or in Europe, and I am not sure that any species 

 is found on the continent of Africa, though one occurs in Mauritius and one in Bourbon.
