abdomen black, shafts of the antennae ringed with white ; beneath:

Exp. 6 $ 33-42 mm. (1-30-1-64"). 



Hab. Central, AVestern and Southern India ; Ceylon ; Assam ; 

 Upper Burma. 



Larva $ Pupa. " Onisciforrn, but much rounded, and with the 

 segments at the divisions very clearly defined; head small, almost 

 concealed; last segment flattened. It is in colour fleshy-white, 

 with a row of nine small black dots along the back on each side and 

 a ring of four similar dots on the segment nearest the head ; it is 

 profusely covered with small white hairs. It feeds in the interior 

 of the fleshy leaves of Bryophyllum calycinum, only emerging in 

 order to turn into a pupa. This latter much resembles the larva, 

 being short and stout and blunt and covered with short white hair. 

 It is of the same fleshy colour as the larva and has two lines of small 

 black dots along the surface of the abdomen continued along the 

 thorax. It also has a third row of four similar dots on the middle 

 of the abdomen between them ; the two dots on the thorax 

 nearest the head are also connected by two other dots." (Davidson, 

 Bell 4' Aitken.}
