86 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



ringed contiguous spot iDlaced outwardly- above it. Tuft on forewing, and glandular 

 patch on the hindwing, as in ordinar}^ Wet male. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings with the ground-colour either as in the male, 

 or uniformly pale yellow-tinted throughout, Forewing with a large black lower 

 discocellular spot (which is either round, diagonal, or lobate) ; the marginal black 

 band broader, more sinuous-edged, and generally broken posteriorly, the anterior 

 portion accompanied by a more or less defined subapical series of five or six 

 dentate lunules, and, generally, two lower less apparent spots, those from the lower 

 subcostal veinlet being disposed obliquely inward. Hinchving with a marginal row 

 of blackish dentate lunules. Underside more or less pale or brighter yellow than in 

 male. Forewing with the posterior area white ; discocellular reddish spot larger, 

 the subapical sinuous fascia generally more defined, and apical band broader. Hind- 

 wing with the discocellular nacreous-centred spots larger, beyond which is a discally- 

 curved zigzag series' of more or less apparent reddish-scaled dentate lunules, and 

 a marginal dot at- tip of the veins. Antennge in both sexes pinkish-grey. 



Expanse, c? 2-^^^ to Sf^, ? 2^^ to S^o inches. 



Extreme Dry form (fig. Ig, h, ?). Female. Upperside unifoimly whitish or

 less obscured, and generally surrounded by a large reddish-brown angle-edged patch ; 

 the subapical sinuous fascia prominent and reddish-brown edged outwardly, 

 the apical band less defined. Hindicing with the two nacreous discocellular spots 

 very prominent, and generally very broadly surrounded by a large angle-edged 

 reddish-brown upper-medial patch extending from within base of the cell to costal 

 vein, its outer edge forming the outline of upper-discal zigzag marks ; the lower- 

 discal zigzag marks being more or less defined. 



Expanse, ? 2j^o to 3 inches.

Lakva. — " {Catilla). Colour green, with a spiracular white band touched with 

 bright yellow on segments two to five, and these segments, especially the third and 

 fourth, are distinctly flanged on the spiracular line as in the larva of Eehomoia 

 aiistralis, though not to so great an extent. The head is round, green, the clypeus 

 edged with brown, covered with small, shiny, black tubercles, which ai'e not very 

 large, and do not hide the colour of the head; the anal flap is rounded, but looks 

 square at the extremity, and is covered with small tubercles, not black, but green, 

 each bearing a short hair ; the body is covered with rows of small black tubercles,
