centre of the dorsum, in shape a perfect semicircle. Anal end rounded, 

 the posterior segments sloping and flattened dorsally ; the usual gland, 

 and protrusible organs on segment 12, present. Spiracles very minute, 

 round, edged with dark colour, above the marginal red band. The 

 surface of the body covered moderately densely with small, cylindrical, 

 white tubercles, from the top of each of which springs a rather short, 

 brownish hair. The colour of the body is green, with a dorsal red band 

 edged with white, and a marginal (subspiracular) similar band edged 

 broadly below with white ; two parallel diagonal white lines on each 

 segment, laterally, between the dorsal aud marginal red bands ; on the 

 dorsal red band near the front margin of each segment 3 to 10 is a small, 

 green spot, which, on segments 3 to 5 at least, is a distinct depression, 

 circular in shape. Length 7 mm., breadth nearly 2-5 mm. 



Pupa. The pupa is distinctly lycasnid in shape, but is rather long 

 and narrow, is slightly constricted dorsally behind the thorax, though 

 not laterally ; the thorax is somewhat humped ; the front of the pupa 

 is blunt, squarish ; the hinder end narrow and rounded ; thickest about 

 segment 8 aud highest about segment 7. The spiracles of segment 2 

 are indicated by an oval, white mark. The other spiracles are small, 

 nearly round, white. The surface of the body is rather shiny, covered 

 with small, cylindrical, white tubercles which are each surmounted by a 

 rather long, somewhat curved, hair, these hairs are longest on the front 

 portion of the pupa, and are nearly colourless. The colour of the pupa 

 is green, very watery-coloured on the wings and anterior parts. Length 

 6 mm., breadth 2*75 mm. 



Habits. The egg is laid in the axil of a leaf, on the flower, or on a 

 pod, and the larva, on emerging, gets inside the flower or pod as the case 

 may be and feeds therein, changing the flowers, pods, &c, as necessary. 

 It changes to a pupa on a leaf or in some such place, and the pupa has 

 a lax tail-attachment and a body-band.
