is the same as that of the larva of Bap. poli/jnncstor, &g., at the same stage, 

 Dorso-lateral tubercles of segments 2 and 18 are long, conical, fleshy } 

 dorse-laterals of segments 3, 4, -5 and 12 are about half the size and 

 exactly similar ; those of segments 6 to 10 are half as small again as those- 

 last mentioned and rather cylindrical ; there are no sub-dorsal tubercles 

 except one at the base of the dorso-lateral of segment 2 ; supra-spiracular- 

 tubercle of segments 3 and 4 as large as dorso-lateral of same segment 

 and similar to it, those of segment 4 possibly the larger slightly ; spiracular 

 tubercles disposed as usual, very minute with 2 or 3 black spines. Surface 

 dull. Colour a livid greenish-yellow with a very dark olive-green dorsal 

 band from segment 3 to 11, covering the whole dorsum of segments 3, 4 

 and 5, becoming a mere line on the last segments ; a broad lateral band 

 of same colour from segment 5 to 12 with a thin line of the body colour 

 running down the middle ; belly and base of legs dirty greenish ; segments' 

 2 and 13 with the tubercles light greenish-ochreous : all the tubercles 

 shiny translucent and all the spiiaes on them (with the exception of the 

 spiracular spines of which are black) are yellow. L : about 4-5 mm. with 

 tubercles; B: 1. 25 mm. without tubercles and 2-2omm. with at broadest 

 part which is segment 4. 



2nd starje. — Is very similar to the same stage of P. tamihmcc, the sub- 

 dorsal tubercular spots only exist near the front margin of segt. 5 : on 

 no other segment ; the subdorsal, small, fleshy, spined tubercles at base of 

 laterodorsal tubercles of segment 2 still exist: the laterodorsal fleshy, conical! 

 tubercles exist on front margin of segment 2, hind margin of segment 13, 

 in centre of segments 3. 4, 5 and 12 though these central tubercles are much 

 shorter than the marginal ones of segments 2 and 13 ; the dorsolateral 

 tubercles of segments 6 to 11 are verj^ small, central, spined like 

 all the rest; the supraspiracular tubercle of segment 4 is little smaller than 

 the dorsolateral tubercle of segment 2 and the supraspiracular tubercle of 

 segment 3 is in size between these last two ; the supraspiracular of seg- 

 ment 2 is nearly the same size as that of segment 3 ; the supraspiracular 

 tubercles of segments 5 to 12 and the other spiracidar tubercles of all 

 segments are mere spots with one or two hairs on them. The head is yel- 

 lowish and is covered with minute erect sharp hairs which are black but 

 not denseljr ; the head is suft'used with l>rown on upper part of the clypeus ; 

 which is of ordinary size, triangular, and along the margins bounding the 

 clypeus ; is roundish, very slightly bilobed, shiny. The surface of larva is 

 shiny and covered sparselj^ with minute black hairs on segments 2 to o. 

 Colour of larva is rather dull olive green, the spiracular region greyish, a 

 lateral greyish line ; a i-ather broad subdorsal whitish region on seg- 

 ments 6 to 11 ; segment 5 marked yellowish in its hinder half . this marking 

 being continued along the lateral region of segments 4 to 2 as far as head ; 

 there is a dark spot or patch just below lateral greyish line on segments
