Abstract
A larva of Agehana maraho was discovered on the upper surface of a leaf of Sassafras randaiense, which may be its food-plant, by Mr. LIAO at Taipinshan, Ilan Hsien, Taiwan. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The full-grown larva, about 60mm long, which was collected on August 20, 1966, pupated on August 24, hibernated in pupal stage, and emerged on May 6, 1967. 2. In Agehana maraho, the larva belongs to Papilio type, has some resemblance in shape and colour to that of Papllio macilentus, but can be noticed some difference in their stripes. 3. The pupa, about 35mm long, seems a kind of Papilio too. But the pupal skin with some dorso-spiracular tubercles and subdorsal tubercles, which can not be found in the other Papilionidae, feels rough.
