SATYRUS II., III. 
sloping towards either extremity; ending in two sharp, conical, divergent tails; 
each segment creased five or six times, the intervening ridges covered with fine 
white papillae, each of which sends forth a white hair, longer or shorter, if long, 
appressed to the surface ; color yellow-green, but there was much variation, some 
examples being uniform on back and sides, in others the dorsum was more yel¬ 
low ; so the yellow-green was either light or dull; on middle of dorsum a dark 
green stripe, obsolescent in the middle segments; along basal ridge a yellow 
stripe ; on the side in some examples, a faint yellow line, in others there was no 
line, but a mere discoloration; under side, legs and pro-legs deep green; spira¬ 
cles oval, color red-buff; head sub-globose, narrowing upwards, a little higher 
than broad, the top slightly depressed ; covered with conical white papillae in 
vertical rows, each with a white hair; color vivid-green; the third ocellus much 
the largest, emerald-green, the others reddish. (Fig. h, h 2 .) The larva suspends 
to a button of white silk, and the dorsum is then convex, the anterior segments 
being turned at a right angle, bending at 5. (Fig. i.) 
Chrysalis. — Length, S .56 to .6 inch, breadth .2 to .22 inch; 9 length .8, 
breadth .22 to .24 inch; cylindrical, the abdomen conical ; the wing cases 
slightly raised at the margins; head case short, roundly excavated at the sides, 
the top narrow, sometimes nearly square or a little arched, sometimes de¬ 
pressed ; mesonotum slightly prominent, roundly carinated, the sides nearly flat, 
or a little convex ; whole surface of the male one shade, either of yellow-green 
or deep green, covered with smooth specks and patches of a lighter color, but 
which scarcely affect the general green hue ; along the inner margins of wing 
cases a cream-colored line ; another on keel of mesonotum, and one across top of 
head case. (Fig. j.) In the female there are three longitudinal yellowish cloudy 
bands, one on middle of abdomen to mesonotum, the others sub-dorsal, extending 
from end to end; the wing cases clouded with darker green in long rays. 
(Figs. k, k 2 ) Duration of this stage about fourteen days. 
The larvae of Olympus, in their later stages, were distinguishable from those 
of Alope or typical Nephele. Thus, 
After third moult: there was present a distinct yellow side stripe, narrower 
than the basal, but as deep colored as that; also, the medio-dorsal green stripe 
had a narrow edge on either side of yellow. 
Mature Larva. — Length, <? 1.36 inch; greatest breadth, .14 inch; slender, 
yellow-green, the dorsum brighter than the sides; the upper stripe either deep 
yellow or pale yellow, distinct always; the dorsal band edged with deep or pale 
yellow. (III., Fig. a.) 
Chrysalis. — Color bluish-green, finely mottled, streaked and specked with 
whitish; the lines along the wing cases, mesonotum, and head white. (III., Fig.
