conical. Cremaster oblong, stout, thicker than broad. The spiracle 

 of segment 2 with a flush, rather large, oval, black surface near it. 

 Spiracles oval, large and black. Surface pitted all over, an erect short 

 hair being placed in each pit, these hairs are not very short, and are 

 longest on the head, eyes, and segment 2. Thorax stout, the constriction 

 behind the thorax slight. A long, dorsal, black streak on the front slope 

 of the thorax reaching its front margin, and a short, dorsal, black mark 

 on the hinder margin ; a dorsal, black mark on segment 13 ; cremaster 

 black ; two black spots on the inner margin of each eye ; the point on 

 the head black. The entire pupa is covered with a white powder. 

 Length 25'3 mm., breadth at the thorax or at segment 7 is 7 mm., height 

 at the apex of the thorax 7 mm. 



Habits. The habits are similar to those of H. alexis in nearly 

 all particulars. 



194. Hasora badra, Moore. 



Derris uliginosa, Benth. (Leguminosde) . 



Larva. The larva is most like that of Hasora chabrona, Plotz, but 

 differs in markings and coloration. It is circular in transverse section, 

 thickest in the middle and rather stout. The head seen from the front 

 is nearly round and somewhat bilobed, there being a depressed line over 

 the vertex to the apex of the clypeus ; it is finely rugose, and has a 

 covering of fine, rather long, erect, white hairs which are not very 

 densely disposed ; the colour is dark rose-red with the clypeus black, 

 and a black patch, varying a good deal in size, on the front face of each 

 lobe at the base and reaching as far as the centre ; the eyes are also 

 black ; the jaws tipped with white ; the head is of the ordinary size for 

 the larva of the genus Hasora. Segment 2 is shiny black. Segments 

 13 and 14 are dirty white, the anal segment slopes in the dorsal line at 

 an angle of more than 45° with the longitudinal axis, and is broadly 

 rounded at the extremity. The surface of the body is dull, covered all 

 over, but not very densely, with fine, moderately long, erect, white hairs. 

 Spiracles oval, of the ordinary size, and yellowish. The colour is light 

 neutral tint, with a double subdorsal line on each side running from 

 segment 3 to segment 12, both rather ill-defined as to outline and running 

 together in places ; five or six thin lines on each segment running across 

 transversely to the length of the body from just above the spiracle on 

 each side ; all these lines yellow ; on segments 3, 4, 6, 10 and 12 is a 

 large lateral deep purple spot or patch interrupting the anterior pair of 

 the transverse yellow lines ; on segments 5, 7, 9 and 11 there is a deep 

 purple line between the anterior pair of transverse yellow lines in the 

 same position as the deep purple patch on segments 3, 4, 6, 10 and 12 ;
