Expanse.— 2£" to 2f". (Plate C, fig. 1G.) 



Larva. — Light green with a dorsal row of large purplish-brown 

 spots, and ten pairs of very long much branched green spine 

 extended laterally. Feeds on mango and other trees. 



A very distinct insect which cannot be mistaken for any other. 



Apatura garuda, Mre. — Anal angle of hindwing acute, produced 

 to a point. Dull olive-brown. Outlines of the median and terminal cell 

 spots and traces of the basal one very distinct dark brown. Traces of 

 a dark spot, sometimes two, below the cell. An indistinct curved dark 

 line from the costa beyond the cell to vein 4 and then straight to middle 

 of the inner margin and continued on the hindwing. The space beyond 

 it paler, sometimes whitish between veins 4 to 7. A wavy suffused dark 

 subterminal line on both wings. A quadrate outlined spot in the cell 

 of the hindwing, another at the end of the cell, and sometimes one 

 above it. 



Underside similar, but paler, especially towards base and outer 

 margin, all the markings much more distinct, the pale spot beyond 

 middle.developing into a macular band of white spots as far as vein 

 2 and traces of 2 white spots on the costa beyond near apex. 



$ . Similar to the male, but the wings fuller and more rounded, the 

 pale markings beyond the cell in the forewing always forming a 

 white macular band at least to vein 4. 



Expanse.— 2f" to 3". (Plate C, 17 male, 17a female.) 

 Larva. — Cylindrical. Bright green with a dorsal yellow line. Ten 

 pairs of long delicate much branched green spines extended laterally. 

 The insect reposes along the midrib of the leaves, and the spines 

 are so placed as to simulate the veins of the leaf. Feeds on mango, 

 cashewnut trees, etc. 



Apatura Camilla, Mre. — Male. — Apex of forewing and anal angle 

 of hindwing acute, the latter produced. Glossy velvet black, paler 

 towards outer margin and with two to three white spots before apex. 

 Underside rich iridescent brown, the cell spots distinctly marked 

 with reddish-brown centres, a pale triangular mark on costa about 

 middle and 3 white spots between the veins before apex, a macular 

 subterminal line of dark spots in a pale suffusion. Hindwing as 

 forewing. 



Female. — Apex of forewing truncate and anal angle of the hindwing 

 rounded. Dull yellowish-brown. Cell spots of both wings distinct
