8 PETASiA NUBtiOULOSA. 



The colour of the head was now pale bluish-green, the 

 upper lip whitish or else pale yellow, the mouth black, 

 the back of a delicate pale yellowish-green, becoming 

 paler and opaque from the thoracic segments to the 

 twelfth, and blending gradually into a deeper brilliant 

 yellowish transparent green on the sides and belly. 

 The slightly raised spots were all of pale primrose- 

 yellow, the dorsal series elongate-oval in shape, two 

 on each segment, one beyond the other, in a broken 

 line on the fifth to the eleventh inclusive ; the other 

 series of spots were of round shape, such as the trape- 

 zoidally-arranged fours of the back, the subdorsal 

 broken line of threes, the lateral single spot, and the 

 single spot below each spiracle, which was itself white, 

 tenderly outlined with black ; a transverse series of 

 four spots showed faintly on the fourth segment, a 

 small tumid side streak of the same yellow was on the 

 third, and another conspicuously larger and longer 

 was on the fourth, slanting down obliquely forwards ; 

 two spots were on the back of the twelfth segment, 

 and behind them on the summit two much larger spots 

 united to a tumid curved streak of yellow ; a con- 

 spicuous tumid side streak of similar yellow began 

 behind the spiracle, tapering off on the margin of the 

 anal flap. The anterior legs were bright red, and out- 

 side each ventral proleg was a roundish ring of black, 

 the feet being furnished with brown hooks. 



The pupa is a full inch in length, and 4^ lines 

 in width at the thickest part across the ends of 

 the short wing-covers, the antenna-cases well deve- 

 loped ; the head and thorax smooth, the wing-covers 

 most minutely roughened, also the upper portions of 

 the abdominal rings ; the free segments of the abdomen 

 are very deeply cut, and taper gradually towards the 

 end, but with dissimilar outline on the ventral and 

 dorsal surfaces ; the ventral becoming bluntly rounded, 

 and the dorsal rising somewhat in a hump, from which 

 springs the base of a prolonged stout spike, whose 

 blunt extremity is furnished with two fine tapering
