The adult larva of A. llarlii (in alcohol) is 4 inches in 

 length. Colour green, with two dorsal rows of short hairy 

 tufts composed of a few fine divergent hairs, and two lateral 

 rows of smaller similar tufts, one being on each segment in 

 each series, and the two dorsal tufts on the third and fourth 

 segment on slightly raised prominences; a smaller tuft also 

 on each of the fore legs ; at the base of the anterior tufts 

 and the dorsal and lateral tufts is usually a sparkling gilt spot ; 

 the feet, underside, and front of head also slightly hairy ; 

 head with black spots in front and a lateral upward streak ; 

 front legs with black streaks and pads on the middle, and 

 hind legs also black ; spiracles narrow, blackish. Cocoon 

 pale ochreous white, attached by a long slender peduncle to a 

 twig of the food-plant, and partly enveloped with the leaves. 



The natives rear the larva, in a semi-domesticated state, 

 on oak trees, it being stated that two broods are obtained 

 within the year.
