 " Larva very delicate light blue - green on the back ; -with a 

 bright sulphur-yellow band along the spiracles, which are black ; 

 immediately above this is a band of yellowish pea-green divided 

 longitudinally by a pale line ; a slightly-raised wart on the sides of 

 each segment, from which proceeds a pencil of very fine silky- 

 white hairs. Penultimate segment protuberant. The parts below 

 the spiracles pea-green, with a black wart immediately above each 

 leg, except the last pair, which are very anomalous, resembling those 

 of Cerura, set round with black bristly hairs, with cilia of a yellowish- 

 green colour, and which can be protruded from the extremities at 

 pleasure, as in Cerura. These legs are elevated when the larva is at 

 rest, but are used for clasping the leaf or twig when in motion. The 

 head is large, of a greenish fawn-colour ; jaws reddish. The anterior 

 portion of the segment behind the head opens somewhat widely to 

 receive it, and the upper front is furnished with two erect horns of a 

 dull orange-yellow, set round with black bristly hairs. Pore-legs 

 red. After two or three moults, the posterior legs lose their abnor- 

 mal form, and, apparently, the protractile cilia? ; they remain somewhat 

 long, but perform the ordinary functions of the other membranous 

 legs. Eeeds on Cassia fistula." — (Atkinson, in litt.)
