small thin marks next to costa, just beyond extremity of discoidal cell, 
and consisting of five spots of different sizes and shapes, the largest 
and lowest of which is between second and first median nervules ; on 
its inner edge this bar is deeply excavated between third and second 
median nervules ; below the end of the bar, but above submedian 
nervure, a separate small pale-yellow spot, usually rather indistinct, 
but sometimes well defined. Hind-wing : central band of moderate 
width, narrower towards costa ; its inner edge only slightly curved 
and bounded by a row of small black spots (representing the more 
conspicuous spots of the under side), its outer edge about parallel to 
hind-margin, slightly suff*used, and denticulated by the beginning of 
black clouding on the nervules as well as by the tips of black inter- 
nervular rays ; near the base the ground-colour is rather paler, and six 
or seven black spots (besides the row next yellow bar) are more or 
less visible. Under side. — Similar, but outer area of hath wings dull 
yelloivish-hrown, with the clouded nervules and inter-nervular rays 
distinct ; transverse bars paler. Fore-iuing : bar wider, suffused, less 
macular, ofter including or meeting the spot which on upper side is 
separate. Hind-unng : bar narrower, especially towards costa ; basal 
portion warm ochreous-brown, marked with the following well-defined 
rather small black spots, viz., one close to base, above costal nervure, 
two farther out below costal nervure, two in discoidal cell, one below 
median nervure, one (minute) between submedian and internal ner- 
vures, one below internal nervure, and a row of eight just on the 
edge of the yellow bar, between first subcostal nervule and inner 
margin. 
$ Didler and paler in ground-colour ; transverse hars tuJiitc, hroader. 
Fore-iving : bar more even, continuous from costa ; separate spot always 
well marked. Hind-wing: bar much less narrowed towards costa. 
Under side. — Hind-iving : bar markedly narrower than on upper side 
throughout; basal brown paler and duller than in 
Larva. — Pale whitish-green; the spines not rigid, very long, 
yellowish, set with inconspicuous black bristles. Head yellowish- 
brown, shining, the base slightly tridentate ; mandibles black. Legs 
of the same colour as the body, longer than usual. Along middle of 
back, on segments four to eleven, a row of indigo-blue dots arranged 
in pairs between each subdorsal pair of spines ; only one such spot 
on segments three and twelve. On each side, between subdorsal and 
lateral rows of spines, a row of larger indigo-blue spots, one on each 
segment from the second to the eleventh ; spiracles ringed with the 
same colour ; also an indigo-blue sub-spiracular festooned streak. 
Pupa. — Whitish-green. On back of abdomen four pairs of long 
divergent red spines, set rather widely apart ; on each side between 
each spine and its successor two indigo-blue dots ; on back of thorax 
three pairs of short tubercular processes, each marked with an indigo- 
blue dot ; head with a pair of similar, longer, curved processes.
