COLOTIS. 265 



Nab. The only records of the occurrence of this form within 

 our limits are : a c? specimen in the Indian Museum labelled 

 " Surat ; " Dr. Manders got a single specimen at Multan in the 

 Punjab ; and Mabille gives it, but on what authority I do not know, 

 from " Northern India." 



Larva. " Larva feeding on Salvadora persica. The following is 

 a description of it : Pea-green when young, two black spots on 

 the back of the head, a white mark almost the shape of an ace of 

 diamonds, but rather longer, on the second segment ; when older, 

 the black spots on the head disappear and the white mark gets 

 clearer and is outlined with black. There are two similar marks 

 just beyond the centre of the back, the front one being the 

 smaller, and another similar mark on the eleventh segment." 

 (Nurse.) 



Pupa. As figured is stout, pale brown, more or less mottled 

 with darker brown, in shape mainly cylindrical, with the wing-cases 

 moderately developed ; the head ends in a very sharp point.
