The caterpillar of this very distinct species, according to Dr. Horsfield, is very 
common in the eastern part of Java upon the Cassia fistula and obtusifolia. It is 
extremely abundant, particularly in the early part of the rainy season, after the renewal 
of the foliage of these plants. It is green, with minute black tubercles arranged in 
transverse series, and with a lateral yellow line above the legs. The chrysalis is boat- 
shaped, with the head pointed, but not so much elevated as some other species of this 
genus. 
The last three species are represented on Dolichos lignosus.
