110 EEV. A. MILES MOSS ON THE 



with black beneath, and red on the stripe. The lateral and ventral areas are apple- 

 green. Patches of pink-brown mark the region of the spiracles, the claspers, and the 

 anal portion. 



Fig. Jc. Dorsal area very dark green, enclosed by lemon-yellow stripes, the central 

 stripe being blue-green. The black-ringed lunules are indicated as in the latter, but 

 the red is very faint. Remainder pale green, with dark pencillings around the 

 spiracles. The caudal horn at this stage is a fairly stout spike, slightly curved, held 

 erect, black, and glossy, the base alone being ochreous or sienna-coloured. 



Final instar (figs. I, r,i). Still very variable, the linear character maintained, and 

 nine pairs of lunules generally to be traced on the yellow stripes, but they are smaller, 

 narrower, and much less defined and conspicuous than in C. annei. Head, plate, and 

 anal extremities generally ochreous and faintly spotted with lighter colour. Horn 

 slightly curved, rough, and glossy ; sometimes plain sienna, at others ochreous green, 

 tipped with black and sienna. Legs and claspers ochreous green. The medio-dorsal 

 stripe is either pronounced in light green as in iig. m, or absent as in fig. I. The 

 ground-colour varies between blue-green with a highly elaborated black dorsal and 

 lateral design, and a plain grass-green from head to tail. In this latter the nine sets of 

 lunules are the most conspicuous, being cadmium-yellow and narrowly outlined with a 

 curve of black above and below the stripe. The designs of figs. A andy are sometimes, 

 but more rarely, reproduced in the final instar. 



Pupa (PI. XV. figs, jj, q). — Warm raw sienna with darker medio-dorsal stripe, faintly 

 indicated. Interstices of segments, spiracles, head, thorax, and wing-cases, etc. browner 

 and deeper in tone. Proboscis-sheath narrow and much porrected. Cremaster a 

 moderate single spike. The entire pupa is slighter in construction than C. annei and 

 more pointed at the extremities.
