36 CCENONYMPHA DAVITS. 



attains to an inch in length, the head being globular, 

 and body tapering towards the anal forked extremity. 



It is of a bright green with dark bluish-green dorsal 

 line, edged with pale lemon yellow, the sub-dorsal and 

 spiracular lines are of the same pale yellow, but the 

 sub-dorsal is edged above with dark bluish-green, and 

 between those two lines is an interrupted streak of a 

 darker colour, posteriorly with a slight tinge of reddish 

 or pink, and the caudal fork is tipped with pink. 



On the 2nd of June a larva was attached to a rush 

 near the top, and changed to a bright green pupa, 

 which in a few days showed brown streaks on the 

 edges and centre of the wing- covers and at the tip of 

 the tail, so remaining until the morning of June 20th, 

 when it was wholly dark brown ; and at noon the imago 

 came forth, a fine dark specimen. (W. B., 21, 6, 65; 

 E.M.M. II, 65.) 



Of the variety of 0. Davus, known as Typhon, 

 I received two eggs from Dr. F. Buchanan White 

 August 18th, 1871, which hatched on the 23rd and 

 25th. These eggs were large and rather ovate-spheri- 

 cal, very finely reticulated, their colour pale straw, very 

 faintly blotched with whity-brown. 



The young larva is of a whity-brown tint, with 

 bifurcate tail, and having the lines of the ordinary 

 larva of Davus very faintly marked ; it is rather large 

 when hatched and big-headed and less sluggish in its 

 movements than the habit of Davus when more mature.

I am very much indebted to the kindness of Mr. 

 Barrett, who most obligingly sent me on May 14th, 

 1867, several examples of the larva of this species, 

 varying from half an inch to their full growth of one 

 inch and a quarter in length.
