ochreous-white specks from the first somite to the end of the eleventh. The stigmata are 
dark^ outlined in blacky and hardly visible. Legs crimson. 
Blown larva 3| inches. Feeds on the same Rubiacece as C. theyVm. 
Chserocampa vinacea. (Plate CL VII. fig. 26 & Plate CLXXV. figs. 2, 2 a.) 
Expanse 2 j inches. 
Male. Closely allied to C. rafflesii, Eutl. ; the fore wing longer and slightly narrower 
and suffused with lilac ; the lateral streak on head and thorax is almost pure wdiite, as also 
are the antennae and fore legs^ and the coloration of the insect generally is much brighter. 
Larva (adult). Pale vinous brown; a very narrow medio-dorsal black line from first to 
fourth somite ; a pair of paler dorso-lateral streaks on the thoracic somites ; the fourth and 
fifth somites bear paired dorso-lateral ocelli, Avhich are oval in shape and ochreous, outlined in 
black and centred with brown, in the first ocellus dark brown with an ochreous streak, the 
second with crimson streak ; some dorsal and lateral black strife on sixth to tenth somites ; 
the stigmata are white outlined in black and conspicuous ; the fourth to terminal somites 
have scattered white lateral specks ; the horn shorter than in C. rafflesii, straight and pointed, 
dark brown with a white tip ; paired dark antero-lateral streaks from its base forming a 
V-mark ; anal somite with paired pale streaks joined posteriorly. 
Blown larva inches. Feeds on several species of Tmpatiens. 
Pupa. Dull fawn-colour, minutely speckled with brown ; the stigmata on abdominal 
segments enclosed in a round black spot. 
The larva of this species belongs to Weismann's second group of Chmrocampa, while 
those of C. theylia and rafflesii belong to the third group. 
The images of C. theylia, rafflesii, and vinacea are almost indistinguishable, and whether 
we have here three species breeding true, or the larvfe are affected by some condition of life in. 
shape of horn as well as colour and number of ocelli, we have no evidence to show. 
Chaerocampa butus, Cruia. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 10.) 
Sphinx butns, Cram. Pap. Exot. ii. p. 58. 
Larva (adult) . Pale green, thickly speckled with darker spots and striae on fifth to tenth 
somites ; the fourth somite swollen, bearing a pair of large ocellated spots, green, bordered 
with yellow above and pink below, and with a central linear white spot ; a pale lateral line 
with dark upper edge from anterior edge of fifth somite to root of horn ; stigmata edged with 
pink; horn purple, stout and curved. Legs pink ; claspers green. 
Feeds on Vitis. 
There is a variety in which the green colour is replaced by brown, with the exception of 
the ocellated spots, which remain olive-green. In some specimens there are traces of 
irregular diagonal stripes between the spiracles. 
The young larva has a long thin horn recurved at tip.
