Egg. The egg is similar in shape to that of the species of the 

 genus Arrhopala, i.e., it is dome-shaped, bat is broadest above the base; 

 it looks, however, to be turban-shaped, i.e., flat on the top. The reason 

 of this is that there are two rows of long delicate feathery- looking 

 spikes, finely bifurcated at the top, placed at right-angles to the polar 

 axis of the egg and slightly converging, one row to the other, at the 

 points. There are two-and-a-half cells from the base to near the 

 summit of the egg, and these spikes are situated where the walls of 

 the middle row of cells intersect with the walls of the top perfect cells 

 and the bottom derni-ceils. The cells are large, nearly regularly 

 quadrilateral, with fine rather high walls, and are flat-bottomed. On 

 the summit the egg is piiuetuated, and has a rather large, central, 

 circular depression (micropyle). The colour is finely granulated green, 

 the walls of the cells and the spikes being white. The cells round the 

 " equator " of the egg are ten in number. The breadth of the egg is 

 0*6 mm., and the height 0*4 mm. 



Larva. The larva in shape and habits agrees in all respects 

 absolutely with that of the species of the genus Arrhopala. The head 

 is hidden beneath the second segment, is shiny, rather large, and black. 

 Segment 2 is semi-circular, very slightly indented in the middle of the 

 front margin ; the middle dorsal depression is serai-elliptical (round end
