Larva. The larva is similar in shape and appearance to that of 

 D. lepida, Moore. Head semi-elliptic, as seen from the front ; clypeus 

 black with a central white line, and bordered all round with yellowish ; 

 a narrow yellow line from over the vertex of the head down the middle 

 of the face to the apex of the clypeus ; eyes black ; a bunch of long 

 porrect hairs on the top of each lobe of the head ; porrect hairs disposed 

 moderately densely also down both cheeks ; colour of the head red-brown, 

 appearing lighter on the vertex of each lobe because of the light-coloured 

 bunches of hair ; surface dull. Spiracles oval, black, with white centres. 

 Surface of the body dull, covered all over moderately densely with 

 longish erect hairs of which, some few laterally are longer than the 

 rest ; there is a subdorsal bunch of spine-like hairs on segments 3 to 6, 

 making these segments look brown over the dorsum ; the other hairs are 

 light mouse-coloured. Anal flap broadly rounded at the extremity, the 

 two anal processes beneath it are short, conical, light yellow and hairy. 

 Colour of the body light brownish-greyish, with a thin subdorsal white 

 line (not a broad white dorsal band as in _D. lepida) ; each segment with 

 a latero-dorsal black mark near the frout margin, which mark is very 

 distinct on segments 2 to 7, and hardly perceptible on the rest ; behind 

 the black marks on segments 2 to 13 is a large light chocolate- brown 

 mark or patch ; legs rose-coloured. Size somewhat smaller than 

 D. lepida. 



Pupa. The pupa is in every way the same as that of D. lepida) and
