teeth reach their greatest development on abd. 5 (c, v). 

 They are composed of a narrow base, flattened laterally, the 

 tip of the teeth recurved cephalad and ending in a short seta. 

 On abd. segment 6 these teeth are wanting, and the segment 

 is unarmed. On abd. 7 we find at the cephalic margin a 

 small crescent-shaped plate, which bears on its caudal edge a 

 number (8 to 14) of sharp-pointed teeth, flattened dorso- 

 ventrally and directed caudad (p). Abd. 8, which with the 

 following segments is deflexed ventrad, also bears a toothed 

 plate like abd. 7, but stronger, and with more (12 to 14) 

 teeth directed caudad. The setae are longer than those on 

 the preceding segments, xlbd. 9 appears to be unarmed, 

 and bears on its ventral aspect the genital scar (g). Abd. 10 

 is still more deflected ventrad. Cremaster absent, but instead 

 of this there are two sharp hooks derived from the anal pro- 

 legs, flattened laterally, slightly divergent, with broad base, 

 and with strong, sharply pointed hook directed cephalad. 



Female Pupa. — Length 15 to 20 mm., vermiform, cylin- 

 drical with tapering ends. Abdominal segments 2 to 6 well- 

 marked, strongly segmented, large ; thoracic segments and 

 first abdominal segment narrow, contracted, and less distinctly 

 separated. Abdominal segments 7 to 10 smooth, appearing 

 nearly confluent (text-fig. 3, h). 



General colour reddish brown, the posterior third of the 

 segments with an olivaceous tint. Head, thoracic segments, 

 and dorsal aspect of abdominal segments 1 to 7, darker pig- 

 mented. 



Head small, deflected ventrad, mouth-parts distinctly visible, 

 ^lypeus small, triangular : paraclypeals prominent (j). Max- 

 illae small, with large maxillary palpi. Leg-cases small, trans- 

 verse, semi-detached in young pupte, becoming more obtect 

 as pupa matures. Thoracic segments with median dorsal 

 ridge (cocoon breaker ?), meso- and metathoracic segments 

 liave in addition a slight transverse ridge which bears four 

 setiferous tubercles (h). Abdominal segments 2 to 5 bear 

 on their dorsal aspect a row of small spines, directed cephalad 

 tind arising from the middle of the posterior declivity of each
