242 L. de Nicevillc — Butterflies of the Kannra District, [No. 2, 



anterior), velvety black, with a dorsal green line. Segment 3 is suddenly 

 somewhat higher and broader than segment 2. Segments 4 to 11 nearly 

 of the same breadth and length ; segments 12 to 14 decrease in breadth, 

 the anal segment being rather flat, thickened round the outer margin, and 

 broadly rounded at the end, with a dorsal square velvety black patch 

 bisected by a dorsal green line. The whole larva is depressed, being of 

 one height from segment 4 to segment 10, both inclusive. The spiracles 

 are plainly visible, rather long ovals in shape, and yellow in colour. 

 The surface of the body is covered with minute, short, star-like hairs, 

 light-coloured and sparse ; on the black patches they are black and 

 denser than anywhere else ; the surface is also laterally corrugated on 

 each segment, with a few latero-ventral deep punctuations ; the whole 

 margin of the larva bears long simple hairs placed somewhat far apart. 

 The gland on segment 11 is large and conspicuous, surrounded by an oval, 

 deep black patch, which patch has a thin green line all round just within 

 its margin ; the longer axis of the oval is transverse to the body length. 

 The organs on segment 12 are circular-mouthed, protruded as white 

 cylinders. The colour of the larva is light green, with a dorsal dark 

 green line flanked on either side by a white line ; a latero-dorsal -white 

 line ; a lateral white line : all six white lines commence on segment 3, 

 and end just in front of the gland on segment 11. The segments are 

 distinct. The space on the dorsum between the lateral white line and 

 the white line flanking the dorsal green line is obscure rose-coloured. The 

 larva changes to a brown-pink before turning into a pupa. The total 

 length of the full-grown larva is 19 mm., the breadth is 7*5 mm. 



Pupa. The pupa resembles that of the species of the genus 

 Arrhopata. The head is hidden, bowed. Segment 2 is large, very 

 convex, with a semi-circular front margin, ascending in the dorsal line 

 at the same angle as the front of the thorax. Thorax very evenly 

 curved to the apex, then evenly descending to segment 5 from the 

 rounded apex. The pupa is slightly constricted dorsally behind the 

 thorax, not at all laterally ; dorsal outline straight from segments 5 to 8, 

 then descending gradually to the front margin of segment 10, after 

 which the surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pupa. 

 In lateral outline the pupa increases from the head to the slightly 

 angular shoulders, then still more, though slightly, to segments 7 

 and 8, after which it decreases gradually to the end; the end is 

 rounded, though not broadened out like a hoof, and is applied round the 

 margin closely to the surface of suspension. The shoulder has a small 

 tubercular swelling. The spiracular expansion of segment 2 is small, 

 long, facing forwards. Spiracles with swollen lips, oval, conspicuous, 

 light brown in colour. Gland scar and marks of organs of segment 12
