KYMPHALIN^. 
wardly bluish wliite-edged stria crossing discoidal cells; a double 
bluish-wliite line closing cell ; an irregular transverse stripe, inter- 
rupted on third median nervules, just beyond cells ; a darker shade of 
brown between this stripe and the white one ; and two rows (more 
or less interrupted) of whitish hind-marginal lunules. Fore-wing : a 
minute line close to base and a ring beyond it (enclosing a ferruginous 
one) in discoidal cell, bluish-white ; a ferruginous cloud on costa 
beyond middle, and two others (smaller) on projections of hind-margin. 
Hind-wing : a whitish ring in cell near base ; close to it a smaller one 
above cell ; a large ferruginous cloud on hind-margin, between dis- 
coidal nervule and anal angle. 
Var. a. $. — Common transverse stripe ivarm oehreous-yelloiv instead 
of white, and a little wider in hind-w^ing and on inner margin of fore-

Aberration — Common transverse white band crenelated on both 
sides, and somewhat suffused, — in hind- wing considerably broader than

Larva. — Green or greenish, paler on under surface, wdth elevated 
sub-spinous dorsal and sub-spiracular lateral tubercular processes ter- 
minating in a stellate tuft of three to five bristles ; processes on second 
and third segments only half the length of those on fourth to tenth 
segments, but on eleventh and tweltth much longer than the latter. 
A sub-spiracular white or whitish longitudinal stripe, interrupted 
obliquely on each segment from fifth to tenth ; below this stripe, on 
third and fourth segments, a black streak. Granulated black dorsal 
patches on fourth, sixth, seventh, and eleventh segments. Head 
dark-brown or blackish, slightly larger than next segment, bearing 
in front two long, upright, outwardly-curving, rather widely-diver- 
gent horns, thickened and branched at the tip, and irregularly spined 
throughout ; these horns are black in front and sandy - coloured 
behind ; the face flat, edged with white, and closely set with white hairs 
or bristles. Length, i to 1 1 inch. Feeds on a common creeper. Dale-

transversely streaked with dark-brown or blackish ; also the following 
blackish marks, viz., a dot on each wing-cover, on each side of the

bifid ; lateral angles at bases of wing-covers very prominent ; wing-
