transversely, more or less quarter-spherical in shape the dorsal depression 

 being hardly existent and convex, white enamel-looking ; or yellowish ; 

 segment 3 is particularly short (as are also 4, 5) and segments 3-10 bear, 

 each one, a subdorsal (might be called dorsolateral, perhaps, more correctly), 

 fleshy, conical tooth with a very shortly-cylindrical top, broad at base, 

 erect, about half a millimetre in length or more — as long as the segmeut 

 perhaps — and ail of equal length ; there is besides, on the same segments, 

 a dorsolateral, similar tooth or tubercle; segments 11, 12, 14 have each a 

 dorsoventral tooth only, the iirst two pointing up and slightly back, the anal 

 pair directly back : and no dorsolateral ones ; the dorsolateral teeth of 

 segment 3 are more or less on the front margin and are connected over 

 the dorsum by a ridge ; the dorsolateral teeth of segment 4 are just behind 

 the front margin and also connected by a ridge ; segment 4 is the highest 

 point of the dorsum and thence backwards to segment 11 is the same 

 height ; the last segments sloping to end, 12 being dorsally flat, this flat 

 part short-parabolic in outline ; the free margin separating the anal teeth 

 a straight line. Surface of larva covered with sparse, minute, erect, dark 

 hairs ; anal segment margin as well as the front margin of segment 2 set 

 with longish, flne, white hairs ; the teeth or tubercles clothed with 

 semi-appressed, brown, very minute bristles and surmounted by 3 or 4 

 longish, black bristles ; gland on segment 11 large, mouth-shaped and 

 transverse, rather widely open, situated on the top of a tumidity and 

 surrounded by some black, bristle-beariuL, minute tubercles ; the organs of 

 segment 12 are circular-mouthed, small, emitting small, cylindrical, white 

 tubes. Spiracles of ordinary size, oval, brown, situated above the dorsoven- 

 tral teeth. Colour of the larva is green ; the cylindrical portion of the 

 teeth translucent-looking except on segment 6 where they are black ; 

 bases of dorsoventral teeth touched with brown ; a diagonal white line 

 curving from hinder margin of the segment at the base of the dorsolateral 

 tooth round the outside of it and up to dorsal line on front margin of 

 each segment 3-10 ; the dorsal space inside these diagonal lines sufl'used 

 with brown ; segment 11 with three parallel, short white lines anterior to 

 the gland, longitudinal and connected by a short, transverse, white line 

 along front margin ; a yellowish subspiracular line running over the 

 dorsolateral teeth, ventrum light translucent green — the sides being set with 

 longish, white hairs. L : 19mm ; B: 6'25mm. 



Pupi. (PI. IT, fig. 24 a) — Normal in shape but with the constriction very 

 shallow and wide ; stout. Head hidden under segment 2, very considerably 

 bowed towards ventrum; segment 2, transversely convex, long, the dorsal 

 slope at 60° to the longitudinal axis of the pupa, hinder margin rather convex 

 towards thorax ; thorax humped, the front dorsal slope 60° in continuation of 

 that of segment 2, gradually becoming parallel to the longitudinal axis about 

 apex and then descending gently to segment 5, compressed somewhat 

 lateral ; the shoulders much broader than segment 2 ; the lateral outline 

 thenco to segment 7/8 slightly concave, the dorsal also ; abdomen stout and 

 as high as the thoracic ajiex at segment 7 and broader than shoulders at 7/8 ; 

 anal end somewhat turned under : the hinder end of pupa, therefore, broadly 

 rounded ; the transverse section of the abdomen is circular except for the 

 soHiewhat flattened ventrum. Surface of pupa finely aciculate-reticulate 

 covered with minute, erect, red hairs which are longest on the two extremi- 

 ties and with a slight, circular depression above each spiracle of abdomen- 

 scars of the dorsolateral teeth ? The intersegmental membrane between 

 segments 9, 10 is visible, black and finely striate, the posterior margin of 

 segment 9 very sHghtly raised above 8. Spiracles of segment 2 facing 

 forwards, oval, white, flat ; the others situated in shallow depressions, oval: 

 light brown, oval with a middle slit. Colour brown-rose, smudged with
