 Lep. 4, pi. xcv. fig. 6 (1874). 



Two pairs. 



The female is rather larger than the male, and the 

 caudate projection to the secondaries is reduced to a 

 mere obtuse angulation at the extremity of the third 

 median branch. 



"It occurs sparingly about Valparaiso in March. It 

 sometimes comes to light." — T. E. 



The larva, a drawing of which I have before me 

 (Plate I., fig. 5), is a most singular creature ; the 4th 

 segment being produced forwards beyond the head and 

 two other segments (which are placed in a vertical line), 

 in the form of an acute horn ; the last segment also 

 terminates in a similar horn ; the central segments are 

 widest and the posterior ones narrowest ; so that the 

 general character of this larva is less Satiiniioid than in 

 any species known to me ; it more nearly resembles 

 some Papilio chrysalides, the pupa of Papilio sarpedon 

 being not unlike it, except in length. Colours : apple- 

 green, with two semicircular pale rose-coloured spots in 

 front, on the 3rd and 4th segments ; a yellow lateral 

 stripe terminating in the horns at either extremity, and
