SOUTH AFIIICAN r>AGWORj\[S. 671 



No glazed eye visible, this being apparently covered by the 

 broadened basal part of the antenna-cases which extend 

 caudad nearly as far as those of the first legs. 



On top of the head is a slight median swelling, somewhat 

 rugose, continued in a blunt, low, median ridge on the pro- 

 thorax, the cocoon breaker. The entire dorsal aspect of the 

 prothorax is deeply striated transversely. Near the anterior 

 edge it bears a small setiferous puncture on each side of the 

 median line. 



Mesothorax massive, slightly sti'iated transversely, median 

 line very slightly raised (text-fig. 3, e). On its dorsal aspect 

 it bears a prominent tubercle on each side of the median line,, 

 bearing a short seta. Laterad and latero-cephalad of these 

 there are two other similar but smaller punctures. 



Anterior wing-cases reaching caudad only as far as the end 

 of the third abdominal segment. Posterior latei'al angles of 

 wing-cases rounded, the two venti-al angles slightly divergent. 

 Metathorax very narrow on the median line. Anterior angle 

 of insertion of hind wing-cases broadly rounded, obtuse. 

 Posterior wing-cases extending in some pupte beyond the 

 posterior lateral angle of the front wing-cases and half-way 

 along their ventral edge. Posterior lateral corner of these 

 hind wing-cases rounded and situated at the middle of the 

 second abdominal segment. Near anterior edge of metanotum 

 there is a setiferous tubercle on each side of the median line. 



All the abdominal segments bear setpe corresponding in 

 position to the large primary setfe of the caterpillar, and a 

 dark oval non-setiferous spot just mediad of the spiracle. 

 Abdominal segments 3 to 5 have a row of small teeth on 

 the middle of the posterior declivity of the segment, which
