166 SPHINGTDiE. 



bright yellowish-green above the dorso-lateral line of tubercles,, 

 pale bluish-green below this line ; the small tubercles white, 

 dorso-lateral line of large tubercles orange ; faint whitish 

 oblique stripes on segments 5 to 10, just reaching the dorso- 

 lateral line. Horn green, the tubercles orange ; basal segment 

 of true leg shining black with white tubercles, and a pink 

 patch round base, second segment shining black with white 

 tubercles, end-segment pink or yellow, claw rust-colour ; 

 prolegs of the same colour as the body below the dorso-lateral 

 line, anal flap and claspers of the same colour as the body above 

 the dorso-lateral line, anal flap covered with small shining- 

 orange tubercles ; a double row of similar tubercles near distal 

 edge of claspers, the distal edge black or brown. Spiracles 

 oval, the slit black bordered on each side with pinkish- white, 

 the whole surrounded by a narrow yellow rim. Length 

 90 mm. ; breadth 14 mm. ; horn 15 mm. ; head 7 mm. high 

 by 6 mm. broad. 



Pupa. — Similar in shape to that of Marumba dyras, the 

 ventral line straight, dorsum of segment 7 slightly tumid 

 and forming the highest point of body ; head scarcely visible 

 from above as it is placed near the ventral surface, with the 

 dorsal line of 2 rising at a sharp angle ; body slightly con- 

 stricted at the junction of 6 and 7. Eyes rather prominent ;'. 

 tongue reaches to two-thirds length of wing-case, antenna 

 to between one-ha]f and two-thirds, and fore leg to barely 

 one-half, mid-leg to three-quarters ; a small coxal piece ;. 

 dorsal margin of fore wing sharply incurved just under the 

 spiracle of 7, the dorsal margin of hind wing appearing as 

 a rounded projection let into the curve. Surface shining ; 

 frons and vertex corrugate ; wing-case superficially wrinkled ; 

 end of tibial joint of fore leg swollen ; antenna feebly, trans- 

 versely ridged ; thorax transversely corrugate ; no sculpturing 

 on segment 4 ; abdomen feebly pitted ; ante-spiracular ridges 

 on the front bevels of 9 to 11 in the form of one broad ridge, 

 deeply pitted along its centre, with a narrow sharp ridge 

 in front of it ; the broad ridge extends right across the dorsum 

 of each of the segments, making the front margins tumid ; 

 similar but less well-developed ridges on 5 and 6. Spiracle 

 of 2 indicated by the hind margin of 2 being deeply curved- 

 emarginate, the edge of the emargination slightly raised, and 

 a narrow lobe from the front margin of 3, longitudinally 

 ridged, fitting into the emargination of 2 ; remaining spiracles 

 oval, flat, the central slit with thin, raised edges. Cremaster 

 a short, deep, triangular projection from the dorsal surface of 

 14, ending in two well-defined triangular teeth. Colour 

 a bright chestnut, the spiracles, bevels of movable segments, 

 ante-spiracular ridges, clasper scars and cremaster black. 

 $ pupa : length 47 mm. ; breadth 15 mm. ; $ slightly 

 smaller.
