segments a lateral, a super and a sub-stigmatal row of tubercles ; the cau- 

 dal part of each segment bears one tubercle, which is in the lateral row. 

 The tubercles in the lateral rows on the thirteenth segment coalesce 

 mesally. One or more hairs grow from each tubercle. Ventral surface 

 sordid white with brownish tubercles. On the ventral surface there is a 

 lateral row of brownish lunate tubercles, and on those segments not bear- 

 ing legs there are transverse rows of four tubercles, those laterad being the 

 larger. True legs brown with blackish tips. Five pairs of prolegs, occur-

 Several of these unite at the base of the wing covers, where the chitine is 

 thickened, darker coloured and pushed out into minute ear-like processes, 

 which appear like dark spots. On the dorsum of the abdominal seg- 

 ments there are three dark stripes, extending from the thorax to the lip 

 of the abdomen ; one on the meson and the others, one on each side, 

 just mesad of the spiracles. Abdominal sutures darker, darkest on the 

 dorsum. Spiracles dark brown.
