CYLLO. 



3()1 



Caterpillar long, somewhat pisciform, being narrowed behind the head, gradually thickening to the 

 middle of the body, and then gradually acuminated to the tail, which is terminated by two long setose 

 pointed horns; head somewhat heart-shaped, the upper edge armed with two erect obtuse setose horns. 



Chrysalis thick, simple ; head-case terminating in an obtuse point. 



The preceding characters are those of C. Leda and Banksia, which may be considered as the types of the genus, which differs at once 

 from the preceding in the naked eyes, the short densely squamose palpi, the extremely short middle disco-cellular vein of the fore 

 wings, the lower disco-cellular vein of the hind wings longer than the upper, united with the third branch of the median vein at some 

 distance beyond its origin. The typical species are distinguished by the dull nearly uniform colours of the upper surface of the wings, 

 the fore wings being simply mai-ked with a large black subapical ])atch, generally on a fulvous ground, bearing two white dots ; beneath, 

 they are equally dull in their colours, Init more freckled and cloudeil, with a darker striga across them beyond the middle, and the hind 

 wings have a more or less ill-defined row of ocelli. 



C. Lowii, i-epresentcd in our PI. LXI., and a fine Javanese new species, C. Crishna IV., differ from the types of the genus in their 

 larger size, the much greater elongation of the tails of the hind wings, and, more especially, in having the claws of the tarsi simple, 

 whilst they are distinctly bifid in C. Leda, &e. The under surface of the wings of C. Lowii nearly resembles the upper side, except 

 that the fore wings have a clearly marked small ocellus near the tip, and the hind wings are pulverose towards the anal margin, and 

 bear two larger ocelli, one near the outer and one near the anal angle. 



All the species of the genus are natives of the East.
