CATOPSILIA. 221 



covered with small shiny black tubercles which do uot hide 



the colour of the head : the anal flap is rounded, but looks square 

 at the extremity, and is covered with rows of small black tubercles 

 .... of which only the row along the spiracular line is con- 

 spicuous. The spiracles are oval, shiny and white. The colour 

 is green with a spiracular white band touched with bright yellow 

 on segments 2-5, and these segments, especially 3 and 4, 

 are distinctly Hanged on the spiracular line as in the larva of 

 Hebomoia australis, Butler, though not to so great an extent. 

 Length 51 mm." 



Papa. " The pupa is the same as that of C. crocale * at first 

 sight, but the dorsal line of the thorax is absolutely parallel to the 

 longitudinal axis of the pupa for two-thirds of its length, conse- 

 quently the hinder part just before the margin is perpendicular to 

 this part, i. e. is raised suddenly but very slightly above the front 

 margin of segment 4, and the front end of this parallel dorsal 

 line is at an angle, and a sharpish angle, with the front slope of 

 the thorax .... the cremaster is distinctly bifid at the extremity, 

 and has some shiny, very stout, black, suspensory hooks dorsally as 

 well as at the extremity. There is a dorsal rugose black tip to 

 the snout terminating the head, which snout is cylindrical in its 

 apical half; there is no black line round the eye as in C. crocale, 

 and there is a dark green-blue dorsal line which is yellow on the 

 thorax as well as the supra-spiracular yellow line. Length 

 34mm. ; length of snout 3 mm. ; breadth at segment 7 is 9 mm. ; 

 height at apex of curve of wings (segment 6) 10 min., height at 

 the apex of the thorax 8 mm." (Bdl.)

c? . Upperside: chalky-white, slightly tinted in some specimens 

 with green. Fore wing: with or without a discocellular black spot, 

 that varies in size ; costa and termen sometimes without a black 

 margin ; occasionally the costa has its apical third narrowly black, 

 broadened slightly at the apex with black spots between the
