222 L. de Niceville — Butterflies of the Kanara District, [No. 2, 



and India, and B. goetzius, Herbst, from Africa only, giving a woodcut of 

 the upperside of the forewingof each to allow of their easy identification. 



31. Euripus consimilis, Westwood. 



Trema orientnlis, Blume (Urticacese). 



Egg. The egg is green, shiny, and spherical in shape, though 

 slightly higher than broad, and has twenty-two prominent ridges from 

 iop to bottom, all parallel to each other in the manner of meridional 

 lines: these ridges merge into the level of the surface of the egg 

 towards its top. The breadth is 1'3 mm. 



Larva. The larva is of the type of ErgoUs, but has no spines on the 

 body. Body cylindrical, thickest in the middle, and gradually decreasing 

 in width to the very narrow hinder end, which terminates in two nearly 

 parallel, conical processes about 2 mm. in length bearing short hairs ; the 

 body also decreases from the middle of segment 2 (where it is 

 about the same breadth as at segment 11/12). The head is nearly 

 square, slightly higher than broad however; the face almost flat, 

 and each lobe is surmounted by a stout cjdindrical process or horn, 

 which horn is slightly longer than the head is high ; it has three 

 or four short, yellow spines before the middle, and is shortly bifur- 

 cated at the top ; the front face of the horn is nearly in the same 

 plane as the face ; these two horns diverge at an angle of about 35°, 

 and are rather widely and squarely separated at the base ; on the hind 

 vertex of the head between the horns are two small conical red-brown 

 spines; along the side margin of the head in continuation with the 

 outside edge of the horn are three sharp spines ; the surface of the 

 head is otherwise smooth and shiny ; the colour of the head is dark 

 green, with a long narrow white clypeus, a white band from the base of 

 each horn running down each side of the central line of the face and 

 along the sides of the clypeus to the jaws, as also a white band on each 

 cheek separating the face from the cheek ; the horn-spines and the two 

 vertex spines are tipped with black : the head is higher than segment 2 

 but about the same breadth. The surface of the body is dull and rough, 

 each segment being set with seven transverse rows of minute, conical, 

 yellow tubercles ; the colour of the body is dark green with a red spot 

 in the spiracular region of segments 3, 7, 10, and 12/13, those on 

 segments 7 and 10 being larger than the other two; the yellow tuber- 

 cles are each surmounted by a short hair ; there is a small brown spot 

 or two next each spiracle. Spiracles flush, oval, rather large, light 

 green, with a very narrow, shiny black border, and a central thin white 

 slit. Length 42 mm. altogether, breadth 7 mm., length of horn 5 mm., 

 breadth of head 4 mm. The breadth across the base of the anal
