THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE NORTH CANAI^ DISTRICT. 389 



Pupa fastened along the stalk by the tail only, smooth, except in the 

 centre of the abdomen above, where there are rough, sharpish protu- 

 berances ; its colour is green, becoming browner as it nears the imago 

 state, marked on the wing-covers and on the back of the abdomen 

 with pink. 



They are figured in Plate V, figures 6 and Qa. 



126. Rathinda amoi\ Fabricius. (No. 959.) 



A very common butterfly everywhere. 



The larva, which feeds generally on the flowers, or young shoots, of 

 " Pitkuli " {Eugenia zeylanica\ but also on Eopea and other things 

 (we reared one on a common garden croton), is of a pale green, with a 

 line of long, pink protuberances along the back, the last curved out- 

 wards and upwards, two protuberances curved outward on the sides of 

 the last segment, and on the fourth segment a straight, sharp-pointed 

 one low down laterally ; the line of dorsal protuberances branches 

 near the head into two. 



Pupa similar, but much smaller than that of Cheritra ja/fra, Butler, 

 and perfectly smooth ; it is also fastened along a stalk, but generally 

 at a greater angle from the stalk than in that species. 



The larva and pupa are figured on Plate V, figures 7 and Ta. The 

 pupa should not hang down as figured. 



127. Eoraga onyx, Moore. (No. 960.) 



A local, but not excessively rare, species. We have once taken it 

 in Karwar, and it is fairly common among the evergreen jungles in 

 the south of the district. ^ 



128. Catapacilma elegans, Druce. (No. 967.) 



A fairly common species in Canara, noticed throughout the district 

 and at all times. 



The larva, which feeds on '' kindal " {Terminalia paniculata), is 

 onisciform, flattened, head and tail segments looking very similar ; 

 head completely concealed ; it is roughish in texture, but not pubose ; 

 colour dirty green, with a patch of dark green in the centre of the 

 back ; it is also a good deal mottled everywhere. Pupa fastened by 

 the tail along a leaf, narrow, without projections of any kind ; of a 

 greenish-brown, minutely dotted with darker brown, 

 hey are figured on Plate V, figures 8 and 8a.
