conical tubercles ; both rows reach down to the jaws ; the 2 central tubercles 

 are the longest ; inside the row of tubercles are, towards the top of face, two 

 hemispherical, rather large tubercles in a horizontal line and underneath 

 these again is a row of four across the face, the outside one on each side being 

 as large as the two in the line above, the central 2 smaller ; halfway down 

 each side of clypeus are two more tubercles, one diagonally below the other ; 

 the colour of the head is black, the spines being also black, the tubercles 

 yellow. Segment 2 has a subdorsal and lateral pair of very small yellow 

 tubercles. Each segment 3-13 has a subdorsal hard pedicel of small sharp 

 spines, those of segments 3 and 4 being equal and longer than any other : 

 perhaps that of the 4th is a trifle longer than that of 3rd ; those of segments 

 6, 8, 11 are nearly as long as these last ; those of 7 and 9 a little shorter, those 

 of 10 still shorter and those of the 5th segment shortest of all, being j the 

 length of those of segment 4 ; those of segment 3, if laid on the body, 

 would overreach the head slightly. Each segment 4-12 has a lateral similar 

 spined pedicel, but much shorter, being only about § the length of the subdorsal 

 one ; and those of segment 12 are simple yellow spines. Each segment 3-13 

 has a subspiracular row of simple spines as well as a pedicel of spines equal 

 in length to the lateral ones, with the exception of that of segment 13 which 

 is somewhat smaller ; the subspiracular of segment 14 is represented by a 

 simple small yellow spine. This anal segment has four longish dorsal, simple 

 spines arranged, in a square, springing from a raised, hard callosity. Spiracles 

 are of ordinary size, black, with broad brown streak, flush. Body surface is 

 smooth and dull. Colour of body is dark yellowish green, the subdoi-sal and 

 lateral pedicels rising from purple circular marks, these marks meeting across 

 the back on segment 9; there are a lot of black dots in front and behind the 

 mark on segment 9 ; there are also a few black dots in front of bases of sub- 

 spiracular pedicels ; all pedicels are blood-red, the spines of the subdorsal ones 

 are black, those of the others are yellow. The subdorsal pedicels, except 

 those of segment 5, have black-tipped spinules below the top bunch. The 

 subdorsal pedicels of segments 4, 7, 9 are further apart than those 

 of others. Base of abdomen and legs dark red-brown ; belly greenish. 

 L : 37 mm ; B : 5 mm ; L. of longest pedicels with spines : 3 mm. 



Fupa. — The shape is that of Moduza procris except that the dorsal process 

 on segment 6 is broader and longer, the thorax-apex more produced backwards 

 and the head-processes ear-shaped instead of triangular. Here the doi-sal ridge 

 or carina is flattened into square-topped expansions on segments 6-11; that 

 on segment 6 is the largest by a long way and the pupa is, therefore, highest at 

 that point : it is sharp-edged and axe-shaped, the projection directed forwards, 

 the expansions of segments 7 and 8 really forming, in a way, part of it, being 

 quite small ; and situated on its hinder edge or slope ; those on segments 9, 10, 

 1 1 are quite separated from each other, somewhat toothlike, the first small- 

 est, the last largest. The thorax has the apex produced into a sharp-edged, 

 rounded peak, slightly overhanging segment 4, this peak being nearly as high
