to the apical margin, with a semi-detached elongate spot at the 

 upper edge of its inner extremity, a small detached streak lying 

 above its outer extremity. At the base of the wing is a small spot, 

 followed by one long and two shorter streaks along the lower ed2:e 

 of the cell, beneath which are three spots, the second and third 

 sometimes connected by an arched line. A reduplicated spot lies 

 above the anal angle, and a small single spot at the base of the 

 dorsal margin. Besides these there are eight small spots along the 

 apical margin, and four on the costal side of the apex. Hind wings 

 pale grey, cilia slightly paler. Abdomen bright orange-ochreous. The 

 first and second pairs of legs grey, annulated with black, the third 

 pair bright orange-ochreous ; the tarsi annulated with black and 

 white. 



Expanse 30 to 32 millims. 



d and $ and beautifully preserved larvse received from the Rev. 

 H. Hocking of Dharmsala, in the Punjaub, a most energetic collector 

 and careful observer, after whom I have much pleasure in naming 

 this species, whilst acknowledging his kind and much-valued 

 assistance. 



Larva pale yellow and black, with a tinge of orange at the side 

 of each segment. Head black, with a pale yellowish stripe across 

 the face, second segment orange and black. Along the middle of 

 the back is a row of conspicuous pale yellow spots, two on each 

 segment after the third, the anterior spot slightly indented at the 

 sides and behind, sharply indented in front with black, the second 

 somewhat square, with a black spot in its centre. On each side of 

 the back is a reduplicated black stripe, containing about three pale 

 yellowish spots on each segment. The sides of the segments about 

 the spiracles are pale yellowish with an orange tinge, spotted with 

 black ; and above the legs runs a narrow black festooned stripe. 

 There are several wart-like tufts of thinly growing hairs on each 

 segment. Anterior legs black, prolegs pale yellowish. 



Found April 26th, at an elevation of about 4000 feet, feeding 

 on "Poonah," probably Ehretia serrata, Rox., one of thcBoraginese. 



Mr. Hocking says of this larva : — " On Poonah tree, wonderfully 

 active, with a snake-hke action, exceedingly swift, either backwards 

 or forwards, at pleasure ; spun up the 3rd of May, came out 4th to 

 9th of June."
