CUBETINM. 249 



with yellow, 6th to 11th segments with a slender, longitudinal dorsal stripe of the 

 same colour ; the spiracles on each side surmounted by a slender lunulated pale yellow 

 line ; on the 9th segment a conspicuous quadrate patch of white between the spiracular 

 yellow lunule and the crimson dorsal line ; 1 2th and remaining segments dark green ; 

 on the 12th two greenish-yellow, erect, rigid processes slightly divergent at their 

 apices, the tentacles protruded from their processes seem to be pinkish-brown in colour, 

 with a tuft of black and white hair at their apices ; but it is not easy to note the 

 colour of the hairs, as they are protruded, whirled round, and withdrawn with great 

 rapidity. There is no opening or honey gland on the 11th or other segment as in 

 many Lycsenid larvge. In shape also these do not resemble the larvae of the Lycsenidse, 

 which as a rule are onisciform ; in these the head is small and almost completely hidden 

 under the 2nd segment ; the 3rd, 4th and 5th segments slope upwards posteriorly, 

 from each a well-shaped transverse ridge. 



Pupa. — A rounded, slightly convex disc with a protrusion posteriorly, colour 

 translucent dark green. Seen under a magnifying glass, they seem to be studded with 

 tiny pits, except in the lateral areas, on the anterior portion there is an oval yellowish- 

 white mark. (Bingham.) 



Habitat. — Burma, Malacca, Java. 



Distribution. — Moore records it from the Mergui Archipelago, de Niceville from 

 Tavoy, the type came from Malacca interior, our figure of the male is from Felder's 

 type, our female figure is a copy of Bingham's ; Friihstorfer records it from Java.
