12 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



the eyes ; head, body above and below aud the legs concolorous with the wings, 

 abdomen beneath with ochreous-white, thin segmental bands. 



Female like the male above and below. Antennae without markings. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? l-j^ to 2-^ inches. 



Larva. — Head similar to the last {leucocera) in colour and shape. Segment 2 

 somewhat swollen and shiny. Shape of the body the same as the foregoing. Colour 

 of larva when young is black (C. leucocera, Kollar, and C. fusca, Hampson, are green), 

 but is dark brown olive-green when full grown, with a pair of lateral short white 

 lines to each segment, a dark dorsal pulsating line and a white marginal line. 

 Length, 32 mm. 



Pupa. — The chrysalis of this species is nearly exactly the same as that of the 

 last in every particular, the proboscis being produced to the same length, etc. 

 Length, 25 mm. 



Habits. — The habits are the same as for the last, the larva does not scallop the 

 edge of the cell. Feeds on Strobilanthcs callosus, Nees. 



Is found much in the same localities as the last, but often visits the verandahs of 

 liuugalows ; it haunts places where the shade is deep amongst rocks in the jungles, aud 

 may be caught at flowers in the early morning round the open spaces in the forest. 

 We have bred many with larvae obtained with larvas of the next species (fusca, 

 Hampson). (Davidson, Bell and Aitken.) 



Habitat. — South India, Ceylon. 



Distribution. — The type came from Maungbhoom in Lower Bengal, de Niceville 

 records it from Trichinopoli ; it is a common species in SouLhern India, we took many 

 examples in Mahableshwur, Matheran, and in and about Bombay, and have it from 

 Kanara. Hampson records it from the Nilgiris, Evans from the Palni Hills ; our 

 description and figures are from a pair from Mahableshwur.
