Closely ailed to C. lycetus, but compared by M. Boisduval to C. oldenlandice. 



The larva, collected by Mr. Lewis in Japan, is either pale green with a darker green 

 white-bordered lateral longitudinal streak from the sixth segment to the horn, or pale 

 clay-colour with a similar streak, sometimes with the first two or three segments greenish, 

 two or three lateral ocelli, beginning from the front of the fifth segment, horn, and pro- 

 legs reddish ; the clay-coloured variety with a lateral series of cornucopia-shaped markings 

 between the spiracles. It feeds on Cissus.

"Bengal" (Cramer). 



Mr. Walker thinks this may be a variety of C. oldenlandice ; excepting in the silver 

 lines on abdomen, it is more like C.japonica.
