ACRyEIN/E. i8i 



small thin marks next to costa, just beyond extremity of discoidal cell, 

 and consisting of five spots of different sizes and shapes, the largest 

 and lowest of which is between second and first median nervules ; on 

 its inner edge this bar is deeply excavated between third and second 

 median nervules ; below the end of the bar, but above submedian 

 nervure, a separate small pale-yellow spot, usually rather indistinct, 

 but sometimes well defined. Hind-wing : central band of moderate 

 width, narrower towards costa ; its inner edge only slightly curved 

 and bounded by a row of small black spots (representing the more 

 conspicuous spots of the under side), its outer edge about parallel to 

 hind-margin, slightly suffused, and denticulated by the beginning of 

 black clouding on the nervules as well as by the tips of black inter- 

 nervular rays ; near the base the ground-colour is rather paler, and six 

 or seven black spots (besides the row next yellow bar) are more or 

 less visible. Under side. — Similar, but outer area of loth loings dull 

 ycUowish-hroicn, with the clouded nervules and inter-nervular rays 

 distinct ; transverse bars paler. Fore-iving : bar wider, suffused, less 

 macular, offer including or meeting the spot which on upper side is 

 separate. Hind-vAng : bar narrower, especially towards costa ; basal 

 portion warm ochreous-brown, marked with the following well-defined 

 rather small black spots, viz., one close to base, above costal nervure, 

 two farther out below costal nervure, two in discoidal cell, one below 

 median nervure, one (minute) between submedian and internal ner- 

 vures, one below internal nervure, and a row of eight just on the 

 edge of the yellow bar, between first subcostal nervule and inner 

 margin. 



$ Didlcr and 2^cdcr in ground-colour ; transverse bars iohite, broader. 

 Fore-iving : bar more even, continuous from costa ; separate spot always 

 well marked. Hind-wing : bar much less narrowed towards costa. 

 Under side. — Hind-wing : bar markedly narrower than on upper side 

 throughout ; basal brown paler and duller than in ^. 



Larva. — Pale whitish-green; the spines not rigid, very long, 

 yellowish, set with inconspicuous black bristles. Head yellowish- 

 brown, shining, the base slightly tridentate ; mandibles black. Legs 

 of the same colour as the body, longer than usual. Along middle of 

 back, on segments four to eleven, a row of indigo-blue dots arranged 

 in pairs between each subdorsal pair of spines ; only one such spot 

 on segments three and twelve. On each side, between subdorsal and 

 lateral rows of spines, a row of larger indigo-blue spots, one on each 

 segment from the second to the eleventh ; spiracles ringed with the 

 same colour ; also an indigo-blue sub-spiracular festooned streak. 



Pupa. — Whitish-green. On back of abdomen four pairs of long 

 divergent red spines, set rather widely apart ; on each side between 

 each spine and its successor two indigo-blue dots ; on back of thorax 

 three pairs of short tubercular processes, each marked with an indigo- 

 blue dot ; head with a pair of similar, longer, curved processes.
