MACROGLOSSUM. 359 



grass-green on segments 2 and 3, pale glaucous-green on 

 remaining segments. Spiracles oval, surface slightly raised, 

 white with a broad orange band across middle. 



Other forms are so different in appearance from that described 

 above that they appear to belong to a different species. 

 In one of these forms the head is deep brown, the true clypeus 

 black, the tubercles and stripes yellow ; body pale brown to 

 greyish, dotted with white, dorsum suffused with fuscous ; 

 segment 2 with dull black saddle-shaped marking on anterior 

 half, broken by a pale brown dorsal stripe and the dor so -lateral 

 stripe, and covered with pale yellow tubercles ; the dorso- 

 lateral stripe yellow suffused with rusty- brown ; horn pale 

 pinkish-violet, the tip yellow, dorsum suffused with fuscous 

 and tubercles black ; distal two-thirds of clasper and of anal 

 flap black. Spiracles orange, the ends very shortly white. 



In another form the head and saddle-mark on segment 2 

 orange ; body uniform black dotted with white ; a white 

 dorso-lateral stripe ; a white subspiracular stripe ; the spiracles 

 lying on round patches of bright orange. 



There are other forms in which the ground-colour is green 

 or rich pink. In the latter form head and segment 2 orange ; 

 a black stripe below the white dorso-lateral stripe ; horn 

 black with yellow tip and base surrounded by yellow. Spiracles 

 orange. Length 53 mm. ; breadth 7 mm. ; horn 3*5-4 mm.
