Habits. — Egg laid anywhere on dead or green leaves, but nearly 

 always on the underside ; larva makes a lax cell; when full-grown, 

 the larva makes an open cell, lying on the underside of the leaf, where 

 it changes to the pupa, fastening itself by the tail and a body-band ; 

 the egg is very large for the size of the insect ; hemispherical in shape, 

 somewhat depressed ; 18 thin low ridges from top to base ; white in 

 colour ; the larva feeds on grasses, and generally on short grasses.

This butterfly is found in similar places to A. maro, Fabricius ; 

 unlike A. maro, however, it is found also in the jungles among bushes ; 

 it is very similar in habits to A. maro ; it is common throughout the 

 district and at all seasons of the year ; the larva is one of the com- 

 monest found on grass in the monsoon months in Karwar. We hava 

 reared many. 



Larva. — As in the group ; head light-yellow, bordered narrowly 

 with black, and having a thin black central line splitting along the 

 edges of the clypeus down the face ; segment 2 swollen, narrow, 

 shiny green ; surface of body very minutely hairy, the hairs being 

 longer on the margin ; colour grass-green spotted all over with dark 

 green, a dorsal dark green line, and a lateral and submarginal indis- 

 tinct white line. Length 25 mm. 



Pupa. — As in the group ; the snout is shortish, slightly turned- 

 up ; proboscis not produced beyond the wings ; colour watery-green, 

 with the markings of the larva. Length 17 mm. 



Habits. — Has the habits as described for the group ; larva sometimes 

 makes a lax cell ; pupa always forms on the underside of a leaf, with 

 the edges of the leaf just drawn towards each other by a few threads 

 of silk ; the larva feeds on soft grasses.
