128 PYEALID^. 



gular oue; a pale brown tuft at end of cell; two waved pale brown postmedial bands, 

 inwardly- oblique from costa to subcostal nervure, then concave to third median ner\aile and 

 convex to outer margin. Hind wing with a dark medial band, sometimes very obscure; the 

 two waved postmedial bands evenly curved. Both wings with a dark lunulate antecilial line. 

 Underside : ground-colour white suffused with smoky brown, the markings dark and obscure ; 

 some specimens with a dark spot at end of cell of each wing. 



The larvae feed on a tree of the laurel tribe, and turn to pupse in a round ball of the 

 leaves and web spun together, of about 3 inches diameter, about six larvae to each ball — not 

 in long silken tubes, as does C. hockinyi.
