92 CHRYSOPHANUS PHLJJAS. 



the mouth a thin streak of darker brown runs across ; 

 the skin of the body is green and velvety, irrorated 

 with minute flesh-coloured dots, each emitting a light 

 brown, shortish fine bristle; there is a faint appear- 

 ance of a brownish dorsal line, the spiracles are flesh- 

 coloured and tolerably distinct ; on the second segment 

 is a flesh-coloured dorsal fine line, rather sunk between 

 the lobes ; all the legs and prolegs are pinkish flesh 

 colour. 



On the 14th of July, after feeding well in the interval, 

 it appeared to be full fed, and the next day took up 

 its position under the lid of a tin box and then appeared 

 somewhat shorter and thicker, more spherical in form, 

 and on the 17th it was a pupa. On my lifting the lid, 

 I saw the pupa lying at the bottom ; it had been fixed 

 by a triple thread round the body behind the thorax, 

 which had broken away from the pupa, being touched 

 by the side of the box when the lid was removed. 



I figured the pupa on the 24th of July. It was 

 seven-sixteenths of an inch long, and a quarter of an 

 inch in diameter in the thickest part of the abdomen ; 

 it was very thick and dumpy in shape, much like a 

 Polyommatus (Lyccena) ; the depression between the 

 thorax and the abdomen is but slight ; the wing-cases 

 are rather long, but not in the least projecting ; the 

 abdomen turned down near the blunt tip ; all the parts 

 about the head rounded off. 



Its colour is light brown, very much freckled with 

 darker brown, there is a blackish-brown freckled dorsal 

 stripe, on which is a black dot on each segment of the 

 abdomen ; the thorax is rather broadly margined with 

 blackish, with a black dot at each side ; on each side 

 of the abdomen are three rows of black dots, of which 

 the middle row is the largest ; the oval spiracles are 

 pale flesh colour with a row of small black dots 

 between them ; the wing rays are pale brownish, with 

 blackish freckles between them ; the leg- and antenna- 

 cases covered with finer freckles ; the eye-covers black 

 and glistening. The wing-cases and leg-cases are
