SOUTH A Pill CAN BAGWORMS. 613 



head, thorax and ahdomeii clothed with long hair; the last 

 with the anal tuft long ; tibiae with the spurs long. Fore 

 wing with the costa and inner margin nearly parallel, the 

 apex rounded, the termen evenly curved; veins la and b 

 anastomosing and curved upwards beyond middle ; Ic slight; 

 2 from close to angle of cell ; 3 from angle ; a forked veinlet 

 in cell : 4, 5, 6 from disco-cellulars at intervals; 7, 8 strongly 

 stalked, fi-oni apper angle; 9 from angle; 10, 11 from cell. 

 Hind wing with vein 2 from close to angle of cell ; 3 from 

 angle ; 4, 5, 6 at intervals from disco-cellulars : 7 from upper 

 an^-le ; a forked veinlet in cell ; 8 free." 



The species which I ])lace in this genns agrees with the 

 description in nearly every detail. The stalk of 7, 8 is as 

 long as two-thirds of 7 and from upper angle; vein 9 is, how- 

 ever, a little apart from the stalk ; the upper part of the 

 forked veinlet in cell is rather faint. In the hind wings the 

 veins 4, 5, 6 are not always at intervals, as my specimen from 

 New Hanover has vein 5 curved at base towards 4 so as to 

 come with that vein from a point. 



Trichocossus arvensis sp. n. (Meadow Bagworm). 

 PI. XLIII, fig. 11. 



Male. — Head, thorax, abdomen, fenioi'a and tibiffi covered 

 with white hairs ; palpi and hairs under the eyes fuscous 

 (XL VI) ; shaft of antenntis natal brown (XL), branches 

 fuscous-black four times shaft at middle. 



Wings covered with cha3tura drab (XLVI) scales and with 

 whitish hairs at inner margins; apparently no markings on 

 the two wings either on upper- or on underside; cilia (as 

 far as present, which is only partly on termen, tornus and 

 inner margin of hind wing) white, with fuscous base. 



The specimens are in a rather rubbed condition, but the 

 characters are sufficiently distinct to separate them at once 

 from any of the allied species. Moreover, the bag is also very 

 characteristic and has been found in two different localities. 



Exp., 19-17"5 mm. (without the cilia, which are absent in 

 the fore wings of both specimens).
