Larva, cylindrical, with a flattened anal segment somewhat rounded at the 

 extremity ; the head is more or less round when looked at from in front and slightly 

 bi-lobed ; head light yellow-brown, with a round black spot at the top of each lobe. 

 The colour of the body is as follows : a dorsal green line, a sub-dorsal broad yellow 

 band, a lateral rose-coloured band, broader than the sub-dorsal one, and with just a 

 shade of green in it, and a marginal white band ; the last segment is quite black and 

 rough. The skin is somewhat transparent. Length, 28 mm. 



Pupa, cii'cular in transverse section ; on the front of the head is a broad, heart- 

 shaped overgrowth of the same thickness throughout, occupying the space between 

 the eyes, rough and honeycombed on the surface ; immediately behind the over- 

 growth are two small similar overgrowths, oblong in shape, situated along the front 

 margin of segment 2 and separated by a triangular overgrowth ; the front of the 

 eyes is also rough and honeycombed, as well as a small spot at the anterior inferior 

 corner of the eye and a smaller one on each side and contiguous to the maxillae. 

 These overgrowths are all black-l:)rown in colour ; the spiracular expansions of 

 segment 2 are large, nearly circular, face forwards, and have a transverse depression iu 

 the centre ; they are black-brown in colour. On segment 2 is a black, narrow, 

 lateral triangular mark reaching on to the thorax ; cremaster curved, provided with 

 many irregular booklets on its dorsal surface and around its edges ; the dor.sal ridges 

 of the cremaster are strong and are provided with three teeth pointing backwards
