 (larva et pupa.) 



Fabricius described this insect from the collection of Dr. Hunter, now belonging 

 to the University of Glasgow, and gave its habitat « In India." It is, however, a 

 native of Guiana, in South America, Stoll having reared it from the caterpillar state 

 in that country. The caterpillar is black, with short hairs, and a great number of 

 white dots. The chrysalis is short, without angular projections, of a grey colour, 

 and is found suspended by its tail from the twigs of the shrubs upon which the larva 

 had been nourished. In the description given in the Encyclopedic Methodique, the 

 anal angle of the posterior wings is described as being ornamented with four or five 

 small Mack and white spots, of which no mention is made by Fabricius, nor are they 

 indicated in the accompanying figure.

 species, which, in the Encyclopedic Methodique is stated to be an inhabitant of Guiana 

 and Brazil.
