CHESIAS OBLIQUARJA. 109 



green much paler than the ground colour ; the sub- 

 dorsal line is thin, yellow or greenish-white, very finely 

 edged above sometimes, and always below with a line 

 of dark green, — this pale subdorsal line is, by aid of a 

 lens, seen to be composed of numerous little transverse 

 bars or streaks, with the slightest interval of the 

 ground colour between them ; the rather broad in- 

 flated subspiracular stripe is pure white or yellowish- 

 white ; between the subdorsal line and the subspira- 

 cular stripe there is a very thin and fine tortuous line 

 of very bluish-green, paler than the ground colour ; its 

 course defines the boundary of the puffed region above 

 the spiracles, and these last are pale yellow, faintly 

 outlined with black ; the head is generally bluish- 

 green ; the tubercular dots are black, each bear- 

 ing a short bristle, but they are very minute ; the 

 segmental folds are yellowish; two very short anal 

 points sometimes occur, but generally there is only a 

 slight swelling on each side below the flap, the point 

 of which shuts down between them. 



The ventral surface is of the green ground colour, 

 with a central paler ochreous-greenish stripe between 

 two lines that are composed of little transverse 

 streaks, similar to those of the subdorsal line before 

 described. (William Buckler, 17th November, 1870; 

 E.M.M., April, 1871, VII, 260.)

Plate CXLVI, fig. 6. 



On the 28th and 30th of May last (1867) I had the 

 pleasure to receive six larva3 of Tanagra chxrophyllata 

 obtained from the flowers of earth-nut (Bunium flexu- 

 osum) by Mr. Howard Vaughan, who has my sincere 

 thanks for making two excursions in quest of the larvae 

 to a locality where the perfect insects were known to 

 occur. 



It is, therefore, to this gentleman that we are in-
