Chrysalis. Length 13.5 mm. Head kronberg’s green 
dorsally. Wing pads, mouthparts, and legs scheele’s green. 
Abdominal segments light dull green yellow. Mid-dorsal 
line suffused with fuscous and scheele’s green. Interseg- 
mental areas courge green ventrally. Spiracles black. 
Numerous long hairs white. Head, thoracic, and abdominal

of the posterior edge of the wing pads. 
Each instar required three or four days for its comple-

ten days later. Although small larvae were unable to sur- 
vive on the more pubescent species of Sida, larger larvae 
fed on all the native species.
