48 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



extremities black. Pro-legs yellow. Spines all black. The dorsal 

 pair on segment 2 longer than the rest and somewhat curved. 



Pupa whitish with black lines representing nervures, antennae, 

 legs, etc. A venti-al, two lateral, and two dorsal rows of seg- 

 mental black marks, each with a yellowish centre. From the 

 inner or dorsal side of each of these centres in the two dorsal 

 rows of spots, there arises a short blunt black process or spine. 

 The general appearance of the pupa is as variable as that ot 

 the imago, sometimes the white and sometimes the black 

 predominating. 



A dipterous parasite emerged from one of the pupae.

(J. Expanse 70-76 mm. F.-w. slightly brownish at base. 

 Costa dusky brown passing into sepia at apex. From end of cell 

 to apex, the whole of area 3, and the marginal part of areas 2, lb, 

 and la, sepia. A discal band of elongated transparent spots in 

 6, 5, and 4, and a trace of a transparent mark in 3. Cell, greater 

 part of 2, nearly the whole of lb, and la, transparent and devoid 

 of scales. An irregular sepia patch in cell above origin of 2. 

 Beginning at base of area 2 and ending at hind angle a sepia band 

 about 2 mm. wide. 



H.-w. black at base and having a hind marginal border of sepia 

 brown about 4-5 mm. wide, its inner edge interrupted by the 

 extension of the brown along the nervules and internervular 

 rays. The remainder of the wing brownish ochreous of some- 

 what variable depth. Indications of the black spots of the 

 underside are visible in the discal area. 



Underside. F.-w. resembles upperside but the apical and hind 

 marginal areas dusted with chestnut brown. H.-w. chestnut 

 brown, of a rather richer tint towards base and inner margin. 

 Nervules and internervular rays well marked, brownish black.
