Clypeus luteous ; a vinous spot on vertex; waits round, produced, colourless except the subdorsal warts of somites 2, 3 which are vinous, and ii. of 11-12 Avhich are orange ; i. small, ii,, iii. large, v. small, vi. large, produced ; the vinous colour covering dorsum on 2-9. Stage 4. Head rounded, slightly bilobed ; jaws black at tip ; body short, thick, pale testaceous tinged with vinous, the obliquo streaks on somites 10-12 dark; warts rounded, elevated; hair dense, stiff, flesh-coloured with black tips, barbuled; somite 4 with a diffused dorsal black patch, the hair from tubercle i. and part of ii. short, black ; a slight similar shade on somite 9. Stage 5. Antennae rather long ; the markings replaced by dense hair, but the diffused dorsal black patches present; hair bright brown with black tips, with a few long pale hairs overhanging the head ; a slight black-crested tuft on upperside of tubercle i. on somite 4. Stage 6. Head whitish, with large, thick, irrorated, U-shaped black mark bordering clypeus, with a short spur at sides below ; antennae pale ; body rounded, flattened ventrally, and depressed at ends, clothed with dense brush-like pale yellowish hair, the ends slightly brown-tufted; somites 2, 3 with long slender white pencils from subdorsal warts ; warts large and rather contiguous. Stage 7. Head pale yellow, with a diffused reddish shade on faco of each lobe, the paraclypeal pieces and some dots on clypeus grey ; later the head becoming dark orange-red. Some of the larvae alike till this stage came out with variously coloured hair, yellow, mouse-grey, chocolate-brown, and orange-red, the colour residing in the spinulose part of the hair, in all the thoracic pencils being white; later the colours became dull, yellow and chocolate-brown forms remaining till mature.
