Fabricius erroneously gave " India" as the habitat of this curious insect, which 

 induced Donovan to introduce it into this work. It is, however, a native of Guiana 

 and Brazil. Its transformations have been observed by Stoll, who has figured the 

 insect in its different states, as above referred to. The caterpillar is dark green, with 

 a black dorsal line and lateral black spots ; the head is armed with two short obtuse 

 spines. It feeds only by night, concealing itself by day in a rolled- up leaf; the 

 chrysalis is short and thick, without angular projections.
