rupted dorsal streak, and traces of two double subdorsal streaks mainly formed by 
small brown spots arranged in transverse rows across the somites. On the 4th somite 
a pair of black “eye ”-like spots with a white iris; on the 5th somite a pair of red 
“eye ’-like spots with a white iris, and between these the dorsal streak above 
mentioned is continued, green in colour, to the head; thoracic legs pink; head and 
claspers green; horn light brown and straight, ending in a point. 
Feeds on Jussiwa repens (Linneus). 
Pupa. Head, thorax, and wing-covers yellowish brown, remainder of body reddish 
brown, paler dorsally and abdominally; palpi-covers slightly produced and prominent. 
The pupa is formed in a light web amongst leaves on the surface of the ground, in the 
usual manner of the larvee of Chawrocampine. 
The imago emerges in about a fortnight (in February). 
Found in Durban district. 
13. CuarocaMPa Ipricus (Drury). (Plate XLIX. fig. 1, larva; fig. 2, pupa.) 
Larva. Ground-colour pale green; each somite, from 4th to 10th, with a pair of 
triangular spots, brown superiorly, yellow inferiorly, at its anterior edge. The pair of 
spots on 11th somite are lengthened into a brown and yellow streak, and end in the 
horn, which is brown, and sharp-pointed like a thorn. The pair of spots on the 4th 
somite are larger than the remainder, and bear on their yellow area an oval, black, 
“eye ”-like spot with a white pupil near its upper edge ; each spot has three minute 
white points on its brown area; spiracles white; a pinky-white subspiracular line, and 
above it a collection of brown points at each intersection of the somites. Head and 
claspers green, thoracic legs light brown. 
Feeds on Spermacoce natalensis (Hochst.), a common herb among the grass of the 
veldt. 
Pupa. Pale golden brown, with small black spots defining the nervures on the wing- 
covers, and sprinkled over the abdominal somites ; spiracles black. Period of pupation 
about 23 days. Habits and transformation similar to other species of the genus. 
The imago is very common, hovering over flowers in gardens in Maritzburg, from 
the early afternoon till dusk. 
The larva and pupa are here figured x { in size on nature. 
14. Dapunis Neri (Linneus). 
The transformations of this insect are so well known that figures and detailed 
descriptions are unnecessary here; but it may be as well to note that numerous 
specimens were reared from the larva on oleander, which plant is a common shrub in 
gardens in Maritzburg. The colour of the larva in Natal is very pale green (almost
