The boss of the head is black in chahrona and haclra, but not in butleri. There 

 is a small, black, dorsal mark at the hinder margin of thorax in butleri, a much 

 larger one in badra. All the larvsB feed upon dicotyledonous plants af the 

 order Leguviinosece. 



b. Larva chiefly yellow with yellow head ; the body 

 with a dorsal, black line and, sometimes, many 

 black, transverse lines ; head marked with black 

 transverse bands or spots . . . . . . Genus Badamia. 



Only one species, very widely distributed . . exclamationis. 

 The larva feeds, as do Bibasis sena and Ismene fergussoni, on Combretacece 

 and has been found commonly on Termitialia bellerica, less often on Combretum 

 Bxtensum. 



B. — Larvss with the body covered densely with minute, 

 star- topped or furcated hairs all over ; the surface 

 dull ; sometimes opaque ; the colour is plain olive- 

 green of a dark shade, russet-green, brownish, 

 grey-green, with, rarely, transverse, short, lateral, 

 white lines or immaculate ; sometimes plain 

 yellowish-brown ; never with bright colours, 

 a. Larvae with the second segment white in guise of a 

 collar. Head naked. 

 a^. Larvae olive-green or russet greenish-brown with, 



at most, a dark, dorsal line . . . . . . Genus Coladenia. 



a?. Larva russet greenish-brown without markings 



of any sort , . . . . . . . . . tissa. 



b'. Larva olive-green with a dark indigo -coloured 



pulsating, dorsal line . . . . . . . . dan. 



The larva of tissa is, when full-grown, 24 mm. in length ; that of dan is 20 mm ; 

 the former feeds upon many species of trees belonging to families as far apart 

 as Leguminosece, Tiliacece and EuphorbiacecB ; the latter is confined to the Ama- 

 rantacecB. The pupse are similar in shape, the spiracular expansions of segment 

 2 large ; the colour of that of dan is green with a white " bloom " ; that of tissa 

 light-brown with the first three segments darker. 



&\ Larvae dark olive-green or brown-green with white 



lateral line . . . . . . . . . . . . Genus Sarangesa. 



a^. Larva dark olive-green with dark dorsal line as 



well as a faint white, lateral line . . . . purendra. 



b~. Larva brown green with an interrupted white, 



lateral and dorsal dark line , . . . . . dasahara. 



The pupae are similar in shape, each with a well-developed spiracular expan- 

 sion to segment 2 ; that of purendra is dark-brovina, that of dasahara emerald- 

 green. The larva of the former feeds upon Amarantaceoe, and of the latter 

 Acanthacece. 



b. Larva3 with the second segment not white ; surface 

 not densely hairy, opaque ; head not furred; the 

 body olive-green, generally dark with longitudi- 

 nal, white lines as well, sometimes transverse, 

 white, short lines also. . . . . . . . . Genus Celce 



norrhinus. 

 a\ Larva with short, lateral, transverse lines . . . . ambareesa. 



?)\ Larva with no transverse lines. 



a-. Larva without appressed, fine hairs on head . . leucocera, 

 b'. Larva with fine, appressed, short hairs on head., fusca. 

 The larvae all feed upon Strobilanthes of the Acanthacece. The pupae are 

 comparatively sMghter than those of Coladenia and have the proboscis produced 

 free beyond the wings as far as the base of the cremaster ; there is a prominent
