flat below, spiu'sely beset with a few hairs on the sides and below; ephtoma 

 transverse, trapezoidal, pale anteriorly, separated from the front by a rec- 

 tilinear suture ; labmm transverse, as broad as the anterior, narrower por- 

 tion of the epistoma, rounded at the anterior angles and beset with small 

 hairs ; mandibles horny, stout at the base, abruptly narrowed towards the 

 tip and slightly curved interiorly; tip tridentate, the intermediate tooth 

 being the largest; maxiUse: cardinal piece oblong, fleshy, obli({uely di- 

 rected inwards and closely applied to the basis of the mentum ; basal piece 

 elongated, subeylindrical, fleshy, forming a knee with the cardinal piece ; 

 maxillary lobe oblong, coriaceous, as long as the palpus, densely beset with 

 hairs and spines on the inside and at the tip ; maxillary palpi 3-jointed ; 

 first joint not longer than broad, second a little longer, subeylindrical, 

 third as long as the first, but much narrower, attenuated at tip ; mentum 

 longer than broad, somewhat expanded about the middle; palpigerous piece 

 transverse, short, bisinuated anteriorly ; its lateral portions might be taken 

 for the basal joint of the palpi, on account of their small size and round- 

 ed shape; the middle portion projects anteriorly between the palpi; its 

 anterior, oval margin has several minute bristles; palpi 2-jointed; first 

 subeylindrical, not much longer than broad; second joint shorter and nar- 

 rower; gida marked with three longitudinal furrows, running towards a 

 triangular piece which fills up a space between the basis of the maxillae 

 and mentum; (infrnnse a little shorter than the mandibles, 4-jointed; basal 

 joint short, tuberculiform, second and third joints cylindrical, elongate, 

 the latter shorter than the first; fourth joint very minute, much narrower 

 than the third, still longer than broad, bearing an elongate hair at the tip ; 

 ocelli apparently none. 



Thoracic segments smooth, of a somewhat harder consistence than the 

 abdominal ones ; the first is twice as long as each of the two others, con- 

 vex above, Avith sharp edged lateral margins. Feet of moderate length j 

 coxae directed obliquely inwards, each of them touching at the tip the op- 

 posite one of the same pair; ti'ochanters elongate, lanceolate at the tip; 

 femora not much longer than the trochanter, subeylindrical, beset with a 

 few bristles on the inside ; tibae a little longer, somewhat attenuated towards 

 the tip ; ungixis stout and pale at the base, brown at tip. 



The nine rdxlominaj segments are of about equal length, fleshy, soft; 

 the last segment ends in two short, unguiform, horny projections, directed 

 upwards, which are pale at the base and brown at tip. 



The pupa is yellowish-white; the sides of its abdominal segments are 

 recurved upwards in the shape of two strong teeth, one of which points 

 towards the head, the other towards the anus ; inside of each of these
