Imago. — $$. Similar in appearance to Cephonodes hylas. 

 Upperside : head, body and abdomen olive -green, normally 

 scaled ; fourth and fifth abdominal tergites brownish-red and 

 a mesial patch of the same on sixth tergite. Underside of 

 abdomen brownish-red, grey mesially. Fore wing hj^aline. 

 with a dark red marginal band about half as wide between M 1 

 and M 2 as this cellule is broad at margin. Cell without- 

 scaled fold, discocellulars not black. Hind wing without red 

 border. Expanse : £ 50 mm., 2 60 mm. 



$. Tenth tergite (fig. 63 D) long and slender, left process 

 a little longer than right one ; sternite asymmetrical, curved 

 towards left side. Left clasper little projecting ventrad 

 basally, slightly narrowed to apex, process of harpe repre- 

 sented by a subglobose hump which bears fine hairs ; right 

 clasper less narrowed towards end than left clasper, its margin 

 feebly sinuate in apical third, harpe produced into a sub- 

 cylindrical process which is slightly twisted, club-shaped, 

 and bears long hairs at end. Penis-funnel slender, gradually 

 narrowed into a smooth ventral process ; process of penis- 

 sheath long, but not sharplv pointed, little thinner than 

 sheath itself (fig. 63 E). 



Hob. W. Himalayas (Mussooree ; Kumaon ; Gurais Valley, 

 Kashmir) to Cochin-China. We have bred it at Mussooree, 

 at an elevation of about 6,000 feet. Larvae somewhat rare in 

 scrub-j ungle, and moths on the wing in April and May. 



Larva : — 



Final instar. Head smooth and shining. Body dull ; horn 

 long, down-curved, tapering evenly to a sharp point ; a trans-

 2 ; a transverse row of small tubercles along each secondary 

 ring : horn, anal flap and clasper s bearing small tubercles. 



Coloration. — Head pale green, with a dark green stripe from 

 vertex to base of antenna. Body pale green ; the tubercles 

 on front margin of segment 2 bright orange, other tubercles 

 white ; a narrow dorso-lateral stripe starting about the middle 

 of 2 and running to base of horn, whitish on the anterior seg-
