 Sataspes tagalica collaris, Seitz, 1929, p. 546, t. 64 c. 



Imago. — <$. Thorax only with a thin yellow transverse band 

 on pronotum ; abdomen without any yellow scales above ; 

 disc of wings blue. 9- Not known. 



Hab. Burma and S. China, where Mell has bred this form 

 (-S. t. chinensis Clark). 



Larva : — 



Final instar. Closely resembles that of 8. infernalis, but 

 differs in the face being green and rest of head whitish, 

 while in infernalis the face is pale green and rest of head 

 darker green ; the oblique stripes in tagalica yellowish, those 

 on segments 6 and 11 strongest ; horn green dorsally, yellow 

 laterally. Length 55 mm. ; breadth 9 mm. 



Pupa. — Very closely resembles that of infernalis, the only 

 noticeable difference being that in tagalica the cremaster has 

 lateral extensor ridges on the ventral surface, which run 

 forwards to segment 11, and the cremaster ends in a simple 

 point. Length 41 mm. ; breadth 12-5 mm. 



Habits. — Food-plant Dalbergia Linn., family Leguminosse, 

 in China. The larva becomes somewhat translucent in 

 appearance before pupation, which takes place in a cell 

 underground.

 anterior surface of fore coxa, upperside of fore tibia and tarsus, 

 and outer surface of mid- and hind legs dull pale yellow, 

 this colouring not at all conspicuous. Fore wing less elongate 

 than in 8. infernalis, distal margin shorter and more convex,
