the leaf on which it is found ; in colour it is dull greenish, with a 

 pinkish yellow tinge on the sides and the ridge of the back. 



The pupa, which is fastened by the tail only along a leaf or stalk, 

 is smooth, blunt at the head, with a hoof-shaped anal segment ; the 

 thorax is humped and convex ; the abdomen is broad and high at seg- 

 ment 7, the fifth segment being suddenly higher than the fourth, mak- 

 ing the dorsal constriction behind the thorax very pronounced ; after 

 segment 9 the abdomen becomes quickly narrower. The colour is white 

 with a broad lateral abdominal band meeting across segment 5 dorsally; 

 wings white with green-brown longitudinal streak ; belly white ; 

 whole surface of pupa oily looking. The larva and pupa are figured 

 in Plate V, figures 2 and 2«,

This is the rarest of our Camenas, but we have found it not 

 uncommon at Karwar, and have a specimen from Siddapur taken in 

 December. 



The larva, feeds on Lorantlms'elasticus, Desr., apparently only on the 

 flowers. It is very similar in shape to Tajuria lo7iginus, Fabricius : only 

 it is more swollen on the 11th and 12th segments, producing constriction 

 in the middle of the abdomen ; it is semi-circular in front, humped at 

 segment 4, and slightly thickened laterally, being broadest at the 6th 

 segment; segments 7 to 10 are toothed dorsally; the anal end is 

 nearly square ; the surface is rough and shiny, the head well concealed 

 and glossy. In colour the larva is greenish-yellow with a dorsal 

 brownish band, segments 8 and 9 being, however, deep red-brown 

 with a white dorsal patch, and segment 10 ,jdark green with a 

 subdorsal whitish line. 



The pupa is like that of C. deva, Moore, but has a small conical point 

 in front of each eye ; the anal column is long and consists of segments 

 10 to 14 : the colour is green, suffused with white on the thorax, the 

 abdomen being yellow-green with a pinkish dorsal band. 



The larva and pupa are figured on Plate V, figures 1 and la,

A common butterfly along the coast and in the thinner jungles 

 above the ghats. Its larva, which feeds on Zizyphus jtijuha, is fully 

 described in Mr. de Niccville's book, and the specimens obtained by 

 ntirely agree with his description.
