Larva (accord, to Boisdnval's figure) : green, middle of tergites (except first 

 two) red, sides with two rows of white patches. 



Pupa (accord, to Boisd.) without free tongue-case.

The species shares with Atreas jdebeja the short first protarsal segment and 

 the long spurs to the hindtibia, with Ili/loicus the absence of a pulvillus and 

 the structure of the sexual armature, with Ccratomia the absence of spines from 

 the tibiae, absence of a pulvillus, and the short first protarsal segment. A 

 derivation from Ccratomia.

<S. This almost uniformly brown insect is easily recognised by the nearly 

 longitudinal black double line which runs on the forewing from R^ to M^. 



Rare in collections. The two specimens recorded by Edwards were caught 

 in May ; as they were rubbed, Edwards concludes that the species emerges from 

 the chrysalis earlier in the year.
