Fabricius erroneously gave “ India” as the habitat of this curious insect, which 
induced Donovan to introduce it into this work. It is, however, a native of Guiana 
and Brazil. Its transformations have been observed by -Stoll, who has figured the 
insect in its different states, as above referred to. The caterpillar is dark green, with a 
black dorsal line and lateral black spots ; the head is armed with two short obtuse 
spines. It feeds only by night, concealing itself by day in a rolled-up leaf ; the chrysalis 
is short and thick, without angular projections.
