skin reached me. Colonel Bowker describes its colouring as "bright green 
beneath and pale green with bright spots above." In shape it somewhat re- 
sembles the pupa of P. Nireus (L.), but is more attenuated anteriorly (with the 
cephalic prominences much shorter, and scarcely bent outwardly at all), and very 
much broader abdominally; the superior part of abdominal margin not angulated, 
but prominently convex. As far as I have been able to trace its distribution, 
Euphranor seems to be very local, and limited to high-lying forest tracts.
