264 L. de Niceville — Butterflies of the Kanara District. [No. 2, 



there is a subspiracular white line ; the ventrum is white with a slight; 

 indigo-blue wash in the colour. Length 38 mm. when at rest, breadth 

 6 mm. 



Pupa. The pupa is nearly exactly the same as that of Hasora 

 (Parata) alexis, Fabricius ; it has, however, a longer snout. The eyes 

 are prominent, and the front of the head (the front of the pupa) is 

 square, except that the vertex is produced into a triangular piece as 

 seen from above, really a short cone surmounted by a porrecb, rather 

 long, cylindrical, blunt-topped snout directed slightly upwards, which is 

 as long as segment 2 is broad (breadth in the direction of the longi- 

 tudinal axis of the pupa) ; segment 2 is broad and convex, with its 

 dorsal line at an angle of 45° to the longitudinal axis ; the thorax is 

 humped, and the front slope is at a greater angle to the longitudinal 

 axis than segment 2, the back slope being nearly parallel to that axis ; 

 the body is slightly constricted before the shoulders in lateral outline, 

 and also at segment 4 ; the pupa is thickest in the middle, though only 

 slightly more so than at the thorax, the shoulders are evenly rounded 

 and not prominent; the pupa is circular in section decreasing in 

 diameter from the middle to the anal end, where the stout parallelo- 

 pipedal cremaster runs up on to the anal segment in a lateral pear- 

 shaped piece ; segment 12 has a dorsal convex shield, with a dorsal 

 semicircular notch in it. The spiracles of segment 2 are indicated by a 

 conical black tubercle on the front margin of the thorax ; and the other 

 spiracles are oval and black. The surface of the body is covered all 

 over with a white powder, and is shiny beneath this powder where 

 visible. The colour is a very pale green, with a black patch round each 

 spiracle ; there is an oval, blob-like, black patch at the front and hinder 

 margins of the thorax in the dorsal line ; a black spot above and below 

 on the front of each eye ; a black border to the lateral pieces of the 

 cremaster and to the dorsal shield of segment 12 ; and the snout is 

 rugose and black. Length 28 mm. over all, length of snout 225 mm., 

 breadth at centre 7 mm., height at centre 7 mm., breadth of front of 

 head 5 mm. 



Habits. The larva makes a cell, similar to that of all the other 

 species of Hasora, of young leaves loosely bound together with silk web, 

 and feeds, whilst young, on the young leaves, though, when full grown, 

 it will feed on the fully matured leaves. The pupa is formed in the 

 cell, which is thinly covered inside with silk. It is attached by the tail , 

 and by a body-band.
