ing tufts, along the body from the larger of the primary warts; warts 

 low, concealed and confused in the secondary hair. Thoracic feet 

 light red-brown; abdominal ones dull vinous. 



The larva has the structure of the geuus Apatelodes Pack- 

 ard, which has been placed in the Eupterotidse The group 

 is also relaeed to the NotodontidEe, and has been more gener- 

 ally included in that family. 



Turenna dirphioides Walker. 



Larva. Head large, rounded, slightly bilobed; clypeus small; 

 whitish brown, scarcely mottled, more white shaded over the clypeus; 

 white secondary hairs are numerous on the lower part of the side. 

 Body somewhat flattened, uniform, the feet slender and rather long; 

 lateral wart of joint 2 large; three small warts above the stigmatal 

 wart on joints 3 and 4; on the abdomen warts i and ii equal, rather 

 small, tending to lie in line, iii and iv closely approximating, function- 

 ally one large wart, v and vi also somewhat approximated and nearly 

 in line, appearing as one, leg shields densely hairy. Small whitish 

 retractile tubercles dorsally on joints 10 and 11. Coloration whitish 

 brown; a black line on the large wart on joint 2; a square black dorsal 

 patch between 3 and 4; an oblique subdorsal bar on 8, somewhat 

 powdery and broken; an oblique lateral line on 11-12; ordinary mark- 

 ings obsolete, the skin a little mottled and a narrow geminate blackish 

 dorsal line. Hairs abundant, from the warts only, whitish, short 

 dorsally, much longer laterally. Feet all pale. 



The larva is flattened and with long lateral hairs and bark- 

 like coloration, superficially much resembling a lasiocampid 

 like Tolype. The structure, however, is normal for the 

 Liparidae.
