the fourth segment to the anal claspers. Horn dark green, 
straight and tuberculate. Spiracles blue. Length  full- 
grown 4 inches=100 mm. Before pupating the larva turns 
pink. The pupa has a rough shagreened surface, is brown, 
and has two small projections to the head. Two moths 
emerged in August 1919, the remainder are still (Feb. 1920) 
in the pupal stage. 
“This larva is often attacked by small black flies. I 
counted as many as ten on a single larva; but apparenily 
they do not cause any injury, as this particular larva produced 
a perfect moth.”—F. B. 8.

nervure dark green, within which is a black stigmatic dot. 
Below the green area from inner margin to costa before apex 
run two indistinct, partially obliterated, faint olive oblique

oblique dark green band, and beyond this and between it and 
the termen are several ill-defined waved dark green lines and 
cloudings. Hind wing: basal half irregularly black, rest of

Hab. Mussoorie, 1918 (jajor F. B. Scott). 
‘¢ At Mussoorie in August 1918 I found several eggs on 
Virginian Creeper. These egos were green aud spherical. 
Before hatching they turned white. The newly hatched larva 
was greenish yellow with a very long black horn, and ¢lie 
body smooth and cylindrical. 
“ After the first moult the head was yellow, the body green,
