 p. 34 (larva and pupa). 



Imago. — Male. Upperside pale ochreous-brown. Forewing with four very minute 

 sub-apical dots in a recurved series from near the costa, a narrow bar across the cell 

 near its end, its outer side excavated, with three dots between it and the costa, a dot 

 towards the base of the second median interspace, and another obliquely inwards before 

 the middle of the first median interspace, all whitish semi-hyaliue and very indistinct, 

 one or more of those in the disc often absent, the spots in the disc edged with brown, 

 brown discal and marginal bands very slightly darker than the ground colour, and 

 very faintly indicated. Hindicing with a brown spot in the cell, another at the end, 

 a discal, recurved, more or less macular band and a marginal band all very slightly 

 darker than the ground colour and very faintly indicated. Cilia of both wings greyish- 

 white. Underside much paler than the upperside, markings similar, the bauds more 

 distinct. Antennae black, the shaft with minute white dots ; palpi, head and body 

 aliove concolorous with the wings ; on the underside the palpi and body white, legs 

 brown above, white beneath. 



Female like the male, the semi-hyaline spots on the forewing more distinct. 



Expanse of wings, $ 1^^, $ 1^% inches. 



Larva is not distinguishable from that of S. purendra, Moore, except by its 

 colour, which is greenish-chocolate, and by the shaj^e of the head, which is more 

 broadly lobed ; it is more narrowly lobed, however, than the head of the larva of 

 C. dan, Fabricius. Length, 17 mm. 



Pupa same as that of S. purendra. The spiracular expansions of segment 2 are 

 semicircular in shape, slightly raised from thorax and face forwards. Body covered 

 with fine, white, simple hairs. Colour a transparent emerald-green. Length, 14 mm. 



Habits same as those of the last two. The larva feeds on an acanthaceous plant 

 allied to Lepidagathis, growing in moist places generally. The larva rests in the cell 

 with the head turned round on the side. This insect is like the last in habits. Uur 

 specimens were bred above the ghats in the dry season only, they are much lighter in 

 colour than the last insect. This insect differs from typical 5. dasahara in having a
