In July, 1891, Mr. I. I. Bowrey gave me a sphingid larva, about to pupate, which I described as follows:-

Larva.— Chœerocampa like, ground colour pale ochreous, sides immaculate. Dorsal region (sharply defined from sides) dark, from a close, fine black marbling or mottling, which tends to run in anteroposterior lines. A band-like process of this marbling enters the side area on each segment, obliquely projecting towards, but hardly reaching the spiracle.
