  the 
  antennae, 
  and 
  all 
  the 
  appendages 
  behind 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  eye, 
  

   are 
  black, 
  and 
  a 
  delicate 
  black 
  line 
  encircles 
  the 
  wings, 
  bringing 
  

   out 
  very 
  distinctly 
  the 
  waving 
  of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  and 
  hind 
  margins 
  ; 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  dark 
  dorsal 
  line, 
  and 
  an 
  interrupted 
  dark 
  shading 
  

   between 
  ii 
  and 
  iii, 
  a 
  fainter 
  one 
  along 
  spiracles, 
  and 
  another 
  

   below 
  iv 
  and 
  v 
  : 
  this 
  is 
  more 
  nearly 
  a 
  line 
  than 
  the 
  others 
  ; 
  

   below 
  it 
  are 
  more 
  dark 
  blotches 
  ; 
  the 
  venter 
  is 
  green. 
  The 
  pupa 
  has 
  a 
  

   more 
  Sphingid-like 
  outline 
  (e.g., 
  pupa 
  of 
  Sesia 
  stellatarum) 
  than 
  usual 
  

   in 
  " 
  plumes." 
  The 
  head 
  projects 
  a 
  little 
  ventrally 
  ; 
  the 
  appendages 
  are 
  

   not 
  straight 
  in 
  ventral 
  line, 
  but 
  arch 
  forwards 
  ; 
  the 
  greatest 
  prominence 
  

   being 
  opposite 
  the 
  3rd 
  abdominal; 
  then 
  the 
  5th 
  and 
  6th 
  abdominals 
  

   are 
  more 
  prominent 
  dorsally, 
  and 
  the 
  pen 
  of 
  cremaster 
  points 
  forward 
  

   again, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  curvature 
  of 
  the 
  Sphingid 
  pupa 
  is 
  well 
  reproduced. 
  

   The 
  maxillae 
  disappear 
  below, 
  meeting 
  the 
  1st 
  legs, 
  as 
  usual, 
  a 
  little 
  

   less 
  than 
  half-way 
  down 
  appendages. 
  The 
  1st 
  leg 
  is 
  broad, 
  and 
  no 
  

   femur 
  is 
  shown. 
  The 
  antennae 
  stop 
  at 
  -f-ths, 
  the 
  1st 
  legs 
  at 
  j^ths, 
  of 
  the 
  

   length, 
  the 
  2nd 
  legs 
  and 
  wing-tips 
  equal 
  ; 
  the 
  extreme 
  tips 
  only 
  of 
  

   the 
  3rd 
  legs 
  visible 
  beyond, 
  as 
  the 
  2nd 
  legs 
  meet 
  in 
  middle 
  line 
  beyond 
  

   the 
  1st. 
  There 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  no 
  humps, 
  tubercles, 
  ridges, 
  flanges 
  or 
  

   processes, 
  but 
  the 
  hairs 
  are 
  pronounced. 
  Dorsally, 
  i 
  and 
  ii 
  arise 
  close 
  

   together, 
  ii 
  but 
  little 
  further 
  out 
  than 
  i 
  ; 
  i 
  has 
  a 
  strong 
  hair 
  sloping 
  

   forwards 
  ; 
  ii 
  a 
  longer 
  one 
  sloping 
  backwards 
  ; 
  these 
  are 
  at 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  

   than 
  a 
  right 
  angle 
  with 
  each 
  other 
  at 
  origin, 
  but 
  their 
  curvature 
  

   makes 
  them 
  seem 
  much 
  more 
  so 
  ; 
  i 
  is 
  about 
  07mm. 
  long, 
  ii 
  about 
  

   0'9mm.; 
  i 
  is 
  marked 
  by 
  a 
  dark 
  dot, 
  ii 
  has 
  no 
  coloration 
  where 
  it 
  arises; 
  

   iii 
  is 
  about 
  0*8mm. 
  long, 
  and 
  points 
  upwards 
  and 
  forwards 
  ; 
  iv 
  and 
  v 
  

   appear 
  to 
  be 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  hair, 
  about 
  0*4mm., 
  immediately 
  below 
  

   spiracle, 
  another 
  about 
  05mrn., 
  a 
  little 
  lower 
  and 
  a 
  good 
  way 
  behind 
  

   it, 
  both 
  curved 
  forwards 
  ; 
  vi 
  is 
  at 
  posterior 
  margin 
  of 
  segment, 
  about 
  

   06mm., 
  first 
  exposed 
  on 
  the 
  4th 
  abdominal, 
  where 
  another 
  lower 
  

   one 
  also 
  appears, 
  one 
  of 
  a 
  pair 
  seen 
  in 
  following 
  segments 
  (0'2nim,), 
  

   and 
  representing 
  those 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  proleg 
  ; 
  all 
  these 
  are 
  directed 
  back- 
  

   wards. 
  [The 
  measurements 
  given 
  are 
  the 
  longest 
  of 
  each 
  series, 
  

   others 
  are 
  shorter.] 
  The 
  spiracles 
  are 
  faintly 
  brown- 
  tin 
  ted, 
  slightly 
  

   projecting, 
  circles. 
  The 
  legs 
  both 
  reach 
  up 
  at 
  top 
  to 
  eye 
  level, 
  the 
  antenna 
  

   passing 
  transversely 
  across 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  both 
  before 
  turning 
  down. 
  The 
  

   statement 
  as 
  to 
  no 
  ridges, 
  etc., 
  must 
  be 
  modified 
  to 
  the 
  extent 
  of 
  noticing 
  

   that 
  the 
  first 
  tibia 
  carries 
  a 
  rather 
  sharp 
  ridge. 
  The 
  labrum 
  (or 
  lower 
  

   part 
  of 
  clypeus) 
  carries 
  two 
  hairs 
  on 
  either 
  side, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  another 
  one 
  

   well 
  up 
  in 
  front, 
  with 
  another 
  on 
  cheek 
  below 
  eye. 
  There 
  are 
  also 
  

   two 
  in 
  centre 
  of 
  eye, 
  i.e., 
  against 
  1st 
  leg, 
  on 
  the 
  ordinary 
  surface, 
  round 
  

   which 
  the 
  glazed 
  (and 
  other) 
  eye 
  curves, 
  and 
  two 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  antenna 
  on 
  

   either 
  side 
  (about 
  Olmrn. 
  long) 
  ; 
  hairs 
  of 
  i, 
  ii 
  and 
  iii 
  (or 
  similarly 
  placed 
  

   ones) 
  on 
  prothorax; 
  i 
  and 
  ii 
  on 
  mesothorax, 
  two 
  further 
  out 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  

   one 
  further 
  back; 
  on 
  meso- 
  and 
  metathorax 
  there 
  is 
  just 
  an 
  indication 
  

   of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  ridges 
  (Platyptilia, 
  etc.). 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  hair 
  on 
  any 
  

   of 
  the 
  appendages. 
  The 
  anal 
  cremaster 
  consists 
  of 
  about 
  40 
  hooks 
  or 
  

  

  is 
  most 
  distinct 
  in 
  front 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  tubercles 
  ; 
  these 
  Latter 
  are 
  combined 
  (l 
  I 
  ii), 
  and 
  

   carry 
  each 
  two 
  hairs, 
  one 
  directed 
  forwards, 
  ami 
  one 
  backwards 
  ; 
  the 
  snhspiraoular 
  

   is 
  a 
  double 
  tubercle 
  on 
  a 
  yellowish 
  lateral 
  flange 
  ; 
  there 
  are 
  various 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  

   thoracic 
  segments, 
  the 
  hair 
  of 
  snpraspiraenlar 
  directed 
  forwards 
  ; 
  none 
  on 
  wings 
  or 
  

   appendages; 
  each 
  tubercle 
  has 
  only 
  one 
  hair 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  dark 
  dorsal 
  shading 
  on 
  

   the 
  meso- 
  and 
  metathorax 
  (Chapman. 
  Another 
  description).
