Lerj) convex, longer than broad, opaque white to pale yellow, 

 sides and ends sloping up to centre; 2 lines in length, 1 in width; 

 attached on the sides to the upper surface of a leaf, with the 

 ends open and a convex arch through which the larva can be 

 seen. These lerp-scales are never plentiful, not more than one 

 or two on a leaf, and resemble the lerp of S. eucalyjjti in general 

 structure but are quite different in shape. 



Larva differing very slightly from pupa, except in coloration;

 black. Head short, slightly arcuate in front and behind; antennae 

 stout, thickened, curved round on sides, slightly pointed at apex; 

 eyes very large. Thorax large; prothorax not as wide as eyes, 

 sloping out to base of wing-covers; wing-covers narrow, pointed 

 at apex; legs stout, tarsi slender at tips. Abdomen very broad, 

 narrow at base, swelling out, rounded on sides to the tuberculate 

 anal process. 



Imago. — Length 0065, antennae 0'0325 inch. 



General colour light green; face lobes, basal joints of antennae 

 and tarsi dull yellow; dorsal surface of thorax slightly tinged 

 with yellow; le^s and antennae semitransparent, wings hyaline, 

 nervures pale brown. The whole of the upper surface finely 

 shagreened. Head wider than prothorax, slightly arcuate behind; 

 deeply cleft and lobed in front, with a deep median suture and a 

 shallow rounded fovea on either side; sides of face arcuate in 

 front of eyes. Face lobes very long, opening out at base, curving
