130 SPHINGID^. 



bright yellowish -green with transverse rows of small white 

 spots, above the dorso-lateral line of tubercles ; lateral- 

 area yellowish-green ; subspiracular area and venter glaucous- 

 green suffused with white ; the line of tubercles pure 

 white ; glaucous-white oblique stripes on segments 5 to 11, 

 that on 11 becoming broad and pure white from above the 

 spiracle on 11 and across 12 to base of horn. Horn pale 

 brownish-pink or rose-colour, with the apical third yellowish : 

 true legs pink or rose-colour ; the base of each segment 

 narrowly dark brown ; prolegs glaucous -green at base, 

 shanks green, ankles pink or rose-colour ; anal flap and claspers 

 yellowish -green. In some specimens the yellowish -green of the 

 dorsum shades gradually into the glaucous-green of the central 

 parts, the line of tubercles is alternately yellowish -green and 

 white, and on segments 7 to 10 the white colour expands into 

 triangular patches below that line ; the base and sides of the 

 white triangle may be edged with reddish-brown. Spiracles 

 oval, large, flush, very pale green with the upper and lower 

 ends white, the whole surrounded by a narrow brown rim ; 

 those of segments 2 and 12 with a broad, white, central slit. 

 Length 75 mm. ; breadth 11 mm. ; horn 13 mm. 



Pupa. — Very similar in shape to that of 0. belli ; tongue 

 slightly broadening apicad ; coxal piece present. Surface 

 shining ; tongue smooth, antenna obscurely cross-lined ; 

 thorax and abdomen exceptionally rough, with confused 

 corrugation ; shoulders tuberculate ; sculpturing on segment 4 

 two deep transverse channels on each side of dorsal line, 

 meeting at dorsal line, a raised triangle between each pair ; 

 in the remaining abdominal segments the front margin of 

 each is tumid, coarsely pitted and wrinkled, and much darker 

 in colour than the rest of the segment, the rest of each segment 

 also pitted, but decreasingly so backwards ; anterior bevels 

 of movable segments 9 to 11 also pitted and wrinkled, posterior 

 bevels paler in colour and minutely lined parallel with the 

 segment margins ; hind margin of 11 raised into a ridge. 

 Spiracle of 2 much longer than the rest, the central slit enclosed 

 by a raised lobe on each side, one lobe on 2 and the other on 3 ; 

 the other spiracles large, oval, depressed, the central slit 

 surrounded by a raised edge. Anal clasper-scars somewhat 

 prominent ; in the g pupa, in front of these scars on segment 13, 

 the organ-scar circular, mouth-shaped, the depressed line 

 horizontal and occupying three-quarters of 13 posteriorly ; 

 13 is curved forwards and is twice as broad ventrally as it is 

 dorsally. In the $ pupa segment 12 is divided by a longitu- 

 dinal medial line ventrally, and 13 is produced forwards in 

 a triangle into the middle of 12. Cremaster wedge-shaped, 

 triangular when seen from above or below ; the upper edge of 

 base of wedge attached to dorsum of segment 14 by a broad,
