black. Segment 2 slightly smaller than the head with a double row of 

 numerous erect, long, white hairs as a collar and two bunches of similar 

 hairs in front of each spiracle. Segments 3 and 4 have a subdorsal and 

 lateral branched spine, or a pedicel with spinules. Segments 13 and 14 

 have only the lateral pedicel. The dorsal spines of the segments 5-12 are 

 nearer the front margin than the others. The usual little spines on leg- 

 bases (for disposition of all these pedicels see Junonia of any species). 

 Spiracles oval, large, black. Body surface velvety, covered densely with 

 longish white hairs. All spines or pedicels arise from a more or less 

 deeply rose-coloured, truncated, conical tubercle. Ventrum slightly hairy. 

 Colour of body bright yellow smudged and spotted black to a varying 

 degree, sometimes so much as to be completely black ; always a broad 

 marginal yellow band and a double yellow dorsal line ; spines are trans- 

 lucent white, the spinules black. L : 40 mm. ; B : 5"5 mm. 



Pupa. — Is of the Junonia type but slender. Head and segment 2 to 

 base of shoulder-point quite square seen from above, blunt in front 

 where the margin is slightly concave between the eyes ; there is a 

 slight carination over each eye reaching back to front margin of segment 

 2, these carinations converging backwards. Dorsal line of the head, 

 segment 2 and thorax in one plane : at 45° to the longitudinal axis 

 of pupa as far as apex of the last, the descent from it to segment 5 over 

 segment 4 short ; both segment 2 and thorax convex transversely to length 

 of pupa, the former not broad between its margins, the latter carinated 

 lowly from front margin to apex where the carination ends in a low 

 triangular pyramid. Constriction behind thorax slight dorsally, slighter 

 laterally. Abdomen dorsally somewhat convex from segment 5 to cremas- 

 ter, circular in transverse section ; ventral line straight, somewhat bulged 

 along wing-junction-line. Wings expanded slightly laterally from a small 

 shoulder-point in a concave line very shortly to a second point immediate- 

 ly behind and opposite segment margin 3-4, after which the expansion gra- 

 dually narrows to lose itself in body-surface at segment 6-7. Cremaster 

 ordinary, oblong in shape, rounded at extremity with rather strong ventral 

 and slight dorsal extensor ridges. Spiracular expansions of segment 2 in- 

 dicated by a flush, longly oval, grey surface on front margin of segment 3 

 on each side ; the other spiracles longly oval, of ordinary size, flush, brown. 

 Surface of pupa finely and superficially corrugated-rugose ; segments 6-13 

 have a minute dorsal, pointed tubercle ; segments 8-12 a still smaller 

 supra- and subspiracular point ; segments 4-12 a small, conical conspicuous, 

 subdorsal point, those on segments 7-10 being slightly largest. Colour of 

 pupa is variable, green and gold in some cases, gold in others, pink-brown 

 and gold again in some, the gold being always strongly developed dorsally 

 and on the points. L : 23'5 mm ; B : 8 -25 mm. at shoulders ; the height is 

 •equal at apex of thorax and at segment-margin 7-8.
