Larva. — Cylindrical, somewhat depressed, thickest at segment 5, sloping at the 

 last segment, with the extremity of the anal segment rounded broadly ; head triangular- 

 shaped, when looked at from in front ; head large, light green, with a red marginal 

 band, bordered on both sides by white, and a central darkish mark splitting down both 

 sides of the clypeus ; colour of body grass-green, with a yellow tinge ; a dark dorsal 

 line, a faint yellow lateral line, and a marginal white line ; stouter than the larva of 

 B. colaca. Length, 34 mm. 



Pupa. — Cylindrical, very slightly constricted dorsally only, beliind thorax, pro- 

 duced into a long shai-p conical snout in front ; eyes prominent, abdomen tapering, 

 and ends in a thin, long, more or less broadly triangular curved cremaster ; the 

 proboscis is produced beyond the wings ; colour grass-green ; a dark dorsal line, an 

 indistinct subdorsal band, and a white lateral band. Length, 25 mm. 



Habits. — The larva lives on the open surface of a leaf, and the pupa is often 

 formed on the top surface of the leaf ; the larva feeds on rice and grasses. We have 

 confounded this species with B. mathias, Fabricius, up to a few months back, when 

 Captain E. Y. Watson drew our attention to the difference. Li our former paper we 

 called it Chopra matJu'as, in company with which B. suhochracea is found throughout 

 the district, around rice-fields and Howers in the more open parts, commonly ; it is a 

 fast llier, is fond of the sunlight, and may be caught at flowers. (Davidson, Bell and 

 Aitken.) 



Habitat. — India. 



Distribution. — The types are from Calcutta ; de Nieeville records it from Sikkim ; 

 Wood-Mason and de Nieeville from Cachar ; Davidson, Bell and Aitken from Karwar ; 

 Elwes from Barrackpore, Nilgiris, Pirmand and Travancore. Elwes and Edwards say 

 that the form of genitalia is different to that of Chaj>ra mathias ; it is probably to be 

 found in many parts of India, and is mixed up in Indian collections with Chapra matliias. 

 We have both sexes from Cachar and the Khasia Hills ; our figures of the larva and 

 pupa are from Davidson's original drawings, not previously published.
