black tips ; the anterior legs black ; the ventral legs of the ground-colour of the 
body — a velvety blueish-green. 
Longitudinally there are sub-dorsal and spiracular rows of black velvety 
blotches, and between them, at the end of each segment, is a transverse pale yellow 
semi-transparent oblong mark. 
Looking sideways at the larvso, the sub-dorsal row of black blotches is seen to 
be composed of two forms in regular order on each segment, viz., anteriorly a thick 
oval blotch, followed after a short interval by a thinner reuiform blotch. The 
spiracular row follows a similar order, but the blotches differ in shape, being 
thinner and more of a curved wedge form, with a tendency to unite in a curve 
below. At the side of the belly above the feet is a fine black interrupted line. 
The tubercles green, and placed on the green ground-colour in the usual order, 
bearing fascicles of short whitish hairs. 
Specimens of the following variety were obtained when quite small on clover, 
by the Rev. Ilallett Todd, who most kindly sent them to me on the 3rd May. 
They fed up on clover and Lotus corniculatus, and the moths appeared from July 
5th to 25th. When full-grown their green ground-colour was a little paler than in 
the foregoing, and rather a yellower green ; the sub-dorsal black blotches on 
each segment were anteriorly a thick, irregular, oblong blotch, inclined to be 
pointed above, followed after a slight intei-val by another similar in shape, but 
rather thinner below. 
The spiracular row rather shorter, and similar, though more pointed at top, 
and meeting below by a curve from the anterior blotch, and the hinder blotch 
having a little tail at the bottom : an interrupted fine black line above the feet. 
Ventral legs broadly ringed with black above, and their extremities tipped with 
black ; anterior legs black. — Id.
