produced. Spiracles without parastigmatic glands. Pygidium (fig. 31) 

 with the median lobes large, prominent and very conspicuous, rounded 

 or-bluntly conical, broader than long, minutely serrate. Second lobes 

 duplex, small, conical, inconspicuous. Third lobes obsolete or represent- 

 ed by serrate marginal prominences. Squames spiniform, increasing in 

 size towards base of pygidium ; none on first space, one on second, one 

 on third, two on fourth, and four on basal space. Oval dorsal pores 

 very large and conspicuous, the innermost series represented only by 

 one or two marginal pores. Circumgenital glands in five groups, with 

 numerous orifices : median group 10 to 12 ; upper laterals 25 to 26 ; 

 lower laterals 20 to 27. Anal aperture close to median group of glands. 

 Length 1 to 1*50 mm. Breadth 0*50 to 0'90 mm. 



Eggs bright pale orange. 



Beneath loose bark on stems of " Jak " (Artocarpus integrifolia) and 

 other trees. Peradeniya ; Matale. 



Near Clu polygoni: but differing in the larger median lobes, in the

 tubercle, with several short hairs at extremity and a stout long curved 

 hair from the side. Parastigmatic glands at orifices of- anterior spiracles 

 only. Pygidium (fig. 32) with conspicuous median incision ; the sides 

 of the cleft occupied by the median lobes which are large, united at the 

 base, widely divergent, the free edge minutely serrate. Second lobes 

 minute, duplex, inconspicuous. Third lobes represented only by small 

 marginal prominences. Squames moderately stout, increasing in size 

 towards base of pygidium. Oval dorsal pores large and conspicuous, in
