^ . — Antenn?e pale brown, second joint slightly inflated, thickly 

 clothed with a number of long-stalked black scales, with fan-like heads, 

 and long black hairs. Proboscis black, with a faint band on its lower 

 third. Palpi longer than the proboscis by the two terminal joints. Two 

 terminal joints inflated .and densely black-scaled, a number of long black 

 hairs along the under surface, a iew black hairs on the apex of the terminal 

 joint. Antepenultimate joint inflated at the apex, a few black hairs on the 

 under surface near the apex. A single narrow band of golden scales on 

 its lower third. Terminal segment of the clasp greatly dilated in the 

 middle. Harpes, limb extending into a thin lamina at the apex, from 

 the internal border of which a number of long thin flattened hairs arise; 

 at the tip two convoluted processes are attached. Harpagones with 

 strong recurved tips and two stout thorn-like tubercles on their convex 

 surfaces. Unci deeply chitinized adherent along their internal borders. 

 Setaceous lobes absent. Ungues of the fore and mid tarsi unequal, the 

 larger with two teeth, a long blunt one and a small basal one; the smaller

The following points were noted in the adult larva : Fully grown 

 adult larva nearly 5/16 inch long. Antennae large and prominent, longer 

 than the head, strongly curved about the middle, deeply fuscous except at 

 the base. Slightly inflated in the lower half. Tuft at the middle of about 

 six fine feathered hairs not exceeding half the antennal shaft in length. 

 Apex with three or four short spines. Surface covered with stout 

 chitinous spines. Men turn deeply infuscated, somewhat narrowly 

 triangular ; teeth dark and numerous ; apical tooth large and prominent. 

 Both upper and lower epistomal hairs are double and feathered, extending 

 beyond the margin of the head. Anteantennal tuft of 8-10 feathered 

 divisions. Body glabrous except for a few smafl scattered dendritic 

 hairs. A small dorsal patch of minute thorn-like s])ines, arranged in 

 curved lines, on each segment from the second to the seventh. Lateral
