464 sphingid^:. 



a very narrow black dorsal stripe from 2 to middle of 5 ; a 

 narrow white subdorsal stripe on 3 and 4, stopping at tho 

 ocellus on 5 near its upper front edge ; a large oval dorso- 

 lateral ocellus on 5, its front edge extending on to 4, its long 

 axis running up and back at an angle of about 45°, pupil 

 deep blue in front, sap-green dotted with white behind, the 

 pupil edged narrowly with white, olive-brown and ochreous ; 

 a much smaller, more elongate oval, more obliquely placed 

 ocellus on 6, the narrow pupil yellow dotted with white and 

 edged narrowly with pale blue, then olive-brown and then 

 ochreous ; similar ocelli on 7 to 11, pupils yellow dotted with, 

 white, edged narrowly with pale blue and then with dark blue ; 

 a broad bluish-white dorso-lateral stripe from the ocellus 

 on 6 to base of horn ; similarly coloured broad very oblique 

 stripes on 5 to 11, each starting at the front latero- ventral 

 edge of each segment, running through the spiracle on that 

 segment and stopping at the front edge of the ocellus on the 

 segment behind ; that on 10 running into the dorso-lateral 

 stripe at the ocellus of 11, and thence running back to base 

 of horn ; that on 11 stopping at the hind margin of 11, and 

 not running to the base of horn as in most previously described 

 species. Horn orange ; true legs pale red, prolegs and claspers 

 bluish-green. Spiracles small, oval, white with brown rim. 



In the dark- coloured form the green is replaced by rich brown 

 or ochreous-chocolate, the markings as in the green form, 

 the ocelli a little darker in shade. Length 70 mm. ; breadth 

 11 mm. ; horn 3 mm. 



Pupa. — Rather slender in build ; tongue in a free sheath 

 which bends ventrad in a semicircle to which is added the 

 strongly bulbous tip which touches the venter at the junction 

 of the head with segment 2 ; antenna shorter than fore leg, 

 which reaches to one-third the distance to tip of wing-case, 

 mid-leg to two -thirds ; surface moderately shining ; tongue- 

 sheath obscurely annulate, with a narrow mesial channel ; 

 head, thorax and abdomen minutely shagreened; round the 

 spiracle of 8 finery striate ; front bevel of 9 with about twelve 

 small ante-spiracular ridges, fewer on 10. Spiracle of 2 lying 

 in a funnel-shaped hollow, the slit nearly covered by a rounded 

 lobe projecting from the front margin of 3 ; other spiracles 

 broadly oval, flush, the slit with a narrow rim. Cremaster 

 elongate wedge-shaped, sides nearly parallel in basal half, 

 then curving inwards, tip widely, shallowly notched, with a small 

 conical tooth at each lateral angle of the notch, and two or 

 three small sharply pointed teeth on each side ; sometimes 

 a small median tooth in the notch ; upper side with basal half 

 strongly pitted, distal half longitudinally striate ; underside 

 longitudinally striate and with lateral extensor ridges ; under 

 the base of the cremaster there is a cup -shaped depression
