A10 = On the larva and pupa of Papilio homerus. 
thence tapering gradually to the anal extremity, which is abruptly 
truncated. Head small, pale ochreous or brown, deflected, and, 
when the larva is at rest, almost completely obscured by a pro- 
jection of the anterior margin of the 1st segment. 
Colour protective, harmonizing closely with the tint of the leaf 
of the food plant. Upper surface a rich deep chrome-green 
extending down to about the spiracular region, where it terminates 
with a more or less irregular or sinuous outline, most pronounced 
towards the posterior segments, where the green is sharply divided 
from the colour of the under surface by a narrow edging of 
white. 1st segment with a short transverse dorsal bar of pale dun 
or ochreous brown; a broad, curved band of the same colour, 
bearing a few lines and spots of black, runs in a posterior direction 
across the dorsal surface of the 3rd segment, and down to the sides 
of the 4th segment, where, curving slightly upwards, it ends in 
club-shaped dilations, enclosing a simple ocellus coloured as 
follows: On a comma-shaped ground patch of black is drawn a 
rather broad ring of dun, bordered below with bluish-grey followed 
by a black iris, with a bluish-white pupil. Across the posterior 
margin of the 5th segment is drawn a most conspicuous luniform 
stripe of white, having a raised appearance, as if laid on with 
several coats of body colour, and which is in turn marked with 
little transverse bars of pale lavender, five in all; the horns of the 
crescent have this time a slightly anterior direction, and terminate 
at the sides between the 4th and 5th segments just at the junction 
of the green with the brown of the under surface. 
Anterior margin of the fifth segment, immediately in front of 
the white stripe, finely irrorated with white ; between the 5th and 
6th segments is a broad transverse band of deep black, more or less 
completely hidden by the segmental fold, except when the larva is 
in motion, when it is very conspicuous. Ventral surface, including 
abdominal legs, dull dark brown. A broad band of this colour, 
suffused with a lavender-grey tint, bearing a few scattered spots of 
blue-grey, and having a very irregular or jagged outline, is con- 
tinued obliquely upwards in a posterior direction from the 8th 
segment, and, meeting on the dorsal surface of the 10th segment, 
descends again, obliquely, narrowing rapidly however before joining 
the brown of the under surface, thus enclosing an irregular 
diamond-shaped patch of green. Segmental folds strongly marked 
on the ventral surface. 
Pura, of usual shape, not greatly angulated. Colour, wholly 
dark wood-brown, with two puirs of white tubercles on the dorsal 
surface of the middle abdominal segments.
