54 LEPIDOPTERA INLICA. 



nearly touching the resting sui-face ; it has a depressed dorsal mark two-thirds the 

 ^idth of the segment, reaching from its hinder extremity towards the front margin, 

 which surface or mark is covered with brown streaks and has no hairs on it, as has 

 the rest of the segment ; the prolegs are rather long ; the head is small, being only 

 about half as broad as the larva is at the centre ; it has a dull smooth surface set 

 with minute rather sparse dark bristles ; a rather large clypeus ; it is round in shape, 

 with a shallow broad curved depression on the vertex ; is green in colour with brown 

 markings as seen under a lens ; antennae reddish, labrum green, eyes black, and some 

 light hairs about the jaws. The surface of the body is dull, each segment has four 

 broad ridges, that is, each segment is divided into four by thin depressed transverse 

 lines, and on these ridges are rows of minute bristle-like black hairs all over, some 

 even on the ventrum ; the spiracles are light yellow, black rimmed, oval, and flush to 

 the surface, of ordinary size. Colour dark green, sometimes with a brownish tinge, 

 with a thin, dorsal, light yellow line from segments 4 to 12, and a narrow, yellow 

 supra-spiracular band from the head to the anal end. Length 26 ram., breadth at 

 middle 4'o mm., breadth at head 2'25 mm." 



Pupa. — " Somewhat resembles that of Ergolis, but is fixed with its longitudinal 

 axis parallel to the sui-face to which it is attached, like that of Elymnias caudata; the 

 ventral line is therefore straight from the head to segment 10, and thence the rest of 

 the pupa is at right angles to its longitudinal axis ; the front of the pupa, seen from 

 above, is absolutely square, the head ending in a broad straight edge ; the head 

 and segment 2 form a trapezoidal piece, which is broadest transversely to the pupa- 

 length ; the sides or lateral outline of this trapeze being absolutely stiaiglit lines ; 

 tlie dorsal line of the pupa in segments 1 and 2 is slightly convex ; the thorax forms 

 at the shoulders the broadest part of the pupa, sloping out suddenly laterally at an 

 angle of 135" with the lateral line of the headpiece; the thorax is somewhat convex 

 and highly cariiiated along the dorsal line, this carination starting from the front 

 margin in (seen laterally) an absolute straight line to just before the hinder margin, 

 where it ends abruptly in a somewhat rounded peak ; the dorsal outline falling thus 

 abruptly from the peak to the hinder margin of the thorax ; the dorsal outline of the 

 abdomen starts from segment 3/4 and ascends to a small sharp peak at the margin of 

 segment 5/6, whence it descends gradually in a very slight carination to segment 8/9 ; 

 and then in a curve of a quarter circle to the creraaster ; a thin linear low carination 

 connects the point of the shoulder with the abdominal peak, and the wings ai-e 

 slightly thickened at and behind the shoulders ; the transverse section of the abdomen 

 after the peak is nearly circular ; the abdominal peak is somewhat higher than tlie 

 apex of the thoracic carination, and the straight top of the thoracic carination is at 

 an angle of 45° to the longitudinal axis of the pupa. The spiracles of segment 2 

 are depressed narrow slits, the other spiracles are light, nearly white, ovals facing
