the thorax ; the dorsal line of the abdomen is slightly toothed at the 

 hinder margin of segments 8 to 11; the cremaster is triangular, with 

 strong prominent waved sustensor ridges ; the spiracles are rather small, 

 oval, shiny and black. The colour of the pupa is always the same : a 

 light fresh bone-colour with a brown-pink suffusion on the dorsal region 

 of segments 10 to 12, a brown-gold streak along the ridge of segment 7, 

 a brown-gfold semicircle in front of the tubercles of segment 6 on the 

 dorsum, and a similar streak along the hinder margin of the thorax ; a 

 large subdorsal mother-of-pearl gold patch on segment 4, a smaller one 

 on segment 5, some gold at the base of the tubercle on segment 6, a 

 silver-golden glean on the sides of the thorax and on the whole wing- 

 surface in certain lights, the whole of segment 2 silvery, a thin dorsal 

 yellow line on the abdominal segments. Length 16 mm., breadth at 

 segment 6 from apex to apex of wing expansion 8 mm., distance between 

 head-points nearly 3' 5 mm. 



Habits. The habits of the larva are the same as those of N. jumbah 

 in every way. The pupa is of course suspended by the tail and hangs 

 down perpendicularly, and is always attached to the underside of a leaf.
