ATTACKING THE LEAVES. 257 markings; but there are differences which will enable any one with ease to separate the two species. Lineata is much the larger insect, measuring, when its wings are spread, about three and a half inches, while chamdenerii rarely exceeds two inches and three-qi;arters. The central band on the fore wings in chamdenerii is wider and more irregular, the thorax also is less marked with white; but the most striking point of difference is that the veins of the fore wings in lineata are distinctly lined with white, a characteristic wanting in chamdenerii. The mature larva measures from two and a half to three inches in length. The head is small, dull red, with a black Fig. stripe across the front at base. The body above is deep olive- green, with a polished surface; there is a pale-yellowish line along the back, terminating at the base of the caudal horn, and on each segment, from the third to the twelfth inclusive, there is a pale-yellow spot on each side, about half-way between the dorsal line and the breathing-pores, largest on the segments from the sixth to the eleventh inclusive; the spot on the twelfth segment is elongated, and, extending upwards, terminates at the base of the horn. There is a wide but indistinct blackish band across the anterior part of each segment, in which the yellow spots are placed, and the sides of the body below the spots are thickly sprinkled with minute raised vellow dots. The horn is long:, curved back- wards, red, tipped with black, and roughened on its surface; 17.
