all over, with a rather large and rather narrow triangular clypeus, the 

 labrum and antennae coloured like the head ; the surface covered with 

 small, conical, setiferous, black tubercles, three on each side of the dorsal 

 line on the vertex, two or the border of the clypeus at the apex on each 

 side, and one above the apex on each side of the central line, about eight 

 on each lobe besides, in addition to which there are several small cylindri- 

 cal points, all, tubercles and points, with a surmounting fine hair. Surface 

 of body rugose with six transverse rows, from above the spiracular 

 region over the dorsum, of small, shiny, conical, setiferous, black tubercles 

 to each segment ; segments 2, 12 and 13 have only a few transverse 

 rows of such tubercles ; the front row of each segment is generally 

 composed of larger tubercles than the others, and especially the sub- 

 dorsal tubercle of that first row is generally large, the tubercles of 

 segment 2 nearly render the whole segment black ; the surface is shiny 

 as well as. the tubercles, and has besides a few cylindrical, setiferous, 

 black points. Spiracles of the ordinary size, flush, oval and white. 

 The colour of the body is a rather light green, sometimes with a tinge 

 of lilac, with a yellow-white, spiracular, narrow band from segment 

 2/3 to segment 12, where the band expands somewhat. The black 

 tubercles may sometimes be very small, just black specks. The eyes 

 are only four in number on each side, and are arranged in an arc above 

 the base of the antennas, they are shiny, of the same colour as the head, 

 and are generally bordered with black. Length 30 mm., breadth 

 375 mm. 



Pupa. The pupa is very like that of A. taprobana ; the head- 

 process from between the eyes is long, flattened at the sides, slightly 

 curved, pointed at the extremity and directed upwards and forwards, 

 sometimes straight out in a line with the axis, sometimes inclined to it ; 

 it is as long as segments 4 and 5 (in the dorsal line) together ; and the 

 edges on the ventral surface are minutely serrated. The front margin 

 of segment 2 is produced into a small subdorsal tooth, and the dorsal line 

 is rather strongly carinated ; the thorax is rather highly carinated on the 

 dorsal line, the lateral outline of this carina being a curve which is 

 slightly broken at the apex, just before which the carina is double, and 

 the edges somewhat minutely serrate ; the lateral teeth of segments 6, 7 

 and 8 are all the same size and pointed ; the dorsal line of the abdomen 

 from segment 6/7 somewhat carinated, the carination splitting down the 

 sides of the cremaster on segment 14 ; the cremaster is rather small, 

 square as seen from above, slightly bifid, with the lateral carina, which is 

 continued forwards on to segments 11, 12 and 13. The spiracles of 

 segment 2 are thin, yellow lines, the other spiracles are oval, flush, 

 and white. The surface of the pupa is shiny, smooth except for a
