second and smaller papilla not shown in the drawing. As 
already stated the mouth parts are exceedingly small and 
difficult to make out distinctly. 
At fig. 4, I have shown the larval and pupal skins as 
seen after the emergence of the butterfly. The pupa is 
attached in a peculiar way to a leaf, its sucker-like extremity 
being spread out and apparently cemented down. It 
will be noted that the larval skin is not completely shed, 
but has been split open on the exposure of the pupa, 
afterwards remaining in this expanded condition. Viewed 
from the other side the empty shells of head, feet, etc., are 
easily seen. 
This interesting larva resembles in some respects that 
of the Australian Inphyra brassolis described by Dr. 
Chapman.* Both the specimens of H. mirifica sent by 
Mr. Lamborn are about the same size, so that I am unable 
to compare two stages of its growth, but evidently in 
L. brassolis the form in an earlier stage differs from that at 
a later period. Through the kindness of my friend Mr. G. T. 
Bethune-Baker, I have had an opportunity of examining 
larvae of this species. The cuticle is not provided with 
nterlocking plates, but is covered all over with chitinous 
tubercles, and at the edges of the mantle is provided with 
numerous short setae. There is no dorsal groove and the 
cuticle is not thrown into ridges. As Dr. Chapman has 
stated, the spiracles are “‘ minute holes without marginal 
structure.” I have not been able to examine the mouth- 
parts, but they are evidently larger than in Hulephyra. 
The antennae are certainly longer and more conspicuous, 
and the jaws are more adapted for piercing and tearing. 
Dr. Chapman describes a peculiar modification of the 
prolegs which is not evident in Huliphyra. 
A further interesting point of comparison is that whilst 
in E. mirifica the pupa is formed half out of the larval 
skin, in ZL. brassolis it remains inside the larval cuticle, the 
latter forming a puparium like that of many Diptera.
