dusk flier, for, since we became acquainted with B. colaca through 

 breeding, we have caught pretty nearly everything resembling it, 

 but all these captures turned out to be other species. 



Larva. — Head dark chocolate, nearly black, with a white marginal 

 band and a green clypeus ; for some distance round the clypeus the 

 face is marbled with greenish ; such is the rains coloration ; in the 

 dry weather, and indeed sometimes in the rains, the black is obsoles- 

 cent ; colour of body bluish-white, or greenish-white, with a sub- 

 dorsal and a lateral white stripe ; surface clothed with very short, 

 erect hairs, longest at the margins of the body. Length 30 mm. 



Pupa. — As in the description of the group ; colour green, with 

 white longitudinal lines ; proboscis produced to the posterior margin 

 of segment 12. 



Habits. — The habits of the larva of B. colaca are the same as the 

 habits of the larvae of the preceding group; it makes a lax cell ; it 

 pupates on the underside of a leaf, drawing the edges somewhat 

 together. The larva feeds on soft, small grasses. 



228. Baoris subochracea^ Moore. 

 We have confounded this species and B. mathias, Fabricius, up to 

 a few months back, when Captain E. Y. Watson drew our attention 

 to the difference. In our former paper we called it Chapra mathias. 

 In company with the next species B. subocliracea is found throughout 

 the district, around rice-fields and flowers in the more open parts, 

 commonly; it is a fast flier; is fond of the sunlight, and maybe 

 caught at flowers. We have bred many. 



Larva. — As in the group ; head large, light green, with a red 

 marginal band bordered on both sides by white, and a central d arkish 

 mark splitting down both sides of the clypeus ; colour of body grass- 

 green with a yellow tinge ; a dark dorsal line, a faint yellow lateral 

 line, and a marginal white line ; stouter than the larva of B. colaca. 

 Length 34 mm. 



Pupa. — Same as for the group ; colour grass-green, slightly glauc- 

 ous ; a dark dorsal line, an indistinct subdorsal band, and a white 

 lateral band. Length 25 mm. 



Habits. — Larva lives on the open surface of a leaf, and the pupa is 

 often formed on the top surface of the leaf ; the larva feeds on rice 

 and grasses.
