This genus should have really come under a, as it is more nearly allied to 

 Celcenorrhimis than to Baoris, the pupae being stout and variously coloured and 

 marked and not naked green ; the shape is also more that of that group. Atticus, 

 pupa has a large, triangular, enamel-white mark on the side as well as another, 

 smaller one ; obscurus is dotted with black, the colour of the latter is grey, of the 

 former is greenish. Both larvse feed upon Dioscorea. 



E. — Larvse of normal shape ; the skin is translucent, shoAving 

 tracheal, white threads beneath it or not ; body 

 naked to the eye ; head naked, generally 

 marked with brown, black or red lines or 

 stripes, round triangular or semi elliptical ; 

 colour some shade of green with, at most, longitu- 

 dinal, white lines (except Halpe honorei where there 

 is a broad, red, longitudinal and lateral band), and 

 a dark, pulsating, dorsal line. 

 a. Larva always with a fine, lateral, distinct and spira- 

 cular, indistinct, white, longitudinal line as well 

 as a darkish, dorsal line . . . . .« . . Genus Aeromac- 



hus. 

 Only one species . . . . . . . . . . indistinctus (jhora) 



The larva is whitish-green, the darker green showing through in small spots. 

 It feeds on grasses. Pupa naked, dark-green, with a conical beak. 

 h. Larvse as in Aeromachus except that they are green 

 with darker green spots showing through ; or 

 plain grass-green with a broad, subdorsal and 

 narrow dorsolateral and supraspiracular white 

 line as well as a thin subspiracular, yellow one. . Genus Am/pittia. 

 a\ Larva like Aeromachus . . . . . . . . gola. 



h^. Larva plain green with stripes . . . . . . maro. 



c. Larvse quite plain, with no longitudinal lines (except 

 Halpe Jionorei), but there may be a dark, dorsal, 

 pulsating line ; skin translucent or not ; head 

 triangular, semi-elliptical or round, naked 

 a\ Head triangular ; body dorsally yellow minutely 

 dotted with green, a dorsolateral and supraspira- 

 cular line darker than rest . . . . . . . . Genus lambrix. 



Only one species . . . . . . . . . . salsala. 



The larva feeds on grasses ; the pupa is like that of Telicota : stout with large, 

 spiracular expansions to segment 2, a very slight boss between the eyes. 

 6\ Head triangular or semi -elliptical ; colour of body 

 dark-green translucent, allowing the trachese to- 

 show through : no other marking . . . . Genus Telicota. 



0?. Head triangular . . . . . . . . . . Aara. 



If. Head semi-eUiptical . . ... . . . . bambtisce. 



Both larvse feeding upon bamboos. Pupse as 

 above for lambrix. 

 c'. Head semi-elUptical; colour of body light grey-green 



covered with minute, green spots, rather opaque . Genus Suastus. 

 A single species . . . . . . . . . . gremius. 



Larva feeds on palms ; pupa stout, like that of Telicota. 



d}. Head semi -elliptical ; colour of body plain grass- 

 green or yellowish- green with a dark, dorsal, pul- 

 sating line and a lateral, less dark-green shade . . Genus Taractro-
