the tint of the leaf of the food-plant. Upper surface a rich deep 

 chrome-green, extending down to about the spiracular region, 

 where it terminates with a more or less irregular or sinuous out- 

 line most pronounced towards the posterior segments, where the 

 green'is sharply divided from the color of the under surface by a 

 narrow edging of white; first segment with a short transverse 

 dorsal bar of pale dun or ochreous brown; a broad curved band 

 of the same color, bearing a few lines and spots of black, runs in 

 a posterior direction across the dorsal surface of the third seg- 

 ment and down to the sides of the fourth segment, where, curv- 

 ing slightly upwards, it ends in club-shaped dilations enclosing a 

 simple ocellus, colored as follows: On a comma-shaped ground 

 patch of black is drawn a rather broad ring of dun, bordered 

 belQw with bluish gray, followed by a black iris, with a bluish 

 white pupil. Across the posterior or margin of the fifth segment 

 is drawn a most inconspicuous luniform stripe of white, having a 

 raised appearance, as if laid on with several coats of body color, 

 and which is in turn marked with little transverse bars of pale 

 lavender, five in all; the horns of the crescent have this time a 

 slightly anterior direction, and terminate at the sides, between 

 the fourth and fiftli segments, just at the junction of the green with 

 the brown, of the under surface. Anterior margin of the fifth 

 segment immediately in front of the white stripe, finely irrorated 

 with white; between the fifth and sixth segments is a broad ti'ans- 

 verse band of deep black, more or less completely hidden by the 

 segmental fold, except when the larva is in motion; then it is very 

 conspicuous. Ventral surface, including abdominal legs, dull 

 dark brown; a broad band of this color, suffused with a lavender- 

 gray tint, bearing a few scattered spots of blue-gray, and having 

 a very irregular or jagged outline, is continued obliquely up- 

 wards in a posterior direction from the eighth segment, and meet- 

 ing on the dorsal surface of the tenth segment descends again 

 obliquely, narrowing rapidly, however, before joining the brown 

 of the under surface, thus enclosing an irregular diamond-shaped 

 patch of green. Segmental folds strongly marked on the ventral 

 surface. 



Pupa of usual shape, but not greatly angulated; color wholly 

 dark wood-brown, with two pairs of white tubercles on the dorsal 

 surface of the middle abdominal segments.
