Pupa, Male. — Length 6 mm., width at shoulders 1*8 mm., 

 depth 2 mm. Posterior part of pupa, including the last 

 three abdominal segments, curved ventrally (text-fig. 17, a-g). 

 Anterior end of pupa obliquely truncate from mesothorax to 

 vertex. Head with a median carina with two small but sharp 

 indentations, and with a small lateral ridge running from the 

 top of the eye to the median carina. Head rugose. Area 

 below the labium transversely sulcate. Maxillary palpi large, 

 triangular. Clypeus nnd labrum short, transverse. Para- 

 clypeals small, subquadrate. Antennae broadened over the 

 anterior two-thirds and not reaching the ends of the wing- 

 cases, longitudinally sulcate, with numerous small transverse 

 grooves. Wing-cases reach ventrally nearer to the posterior 

 edge of the 3rd abdominal segment. Pronotum obliquely 

 striate; mesonotum transversely striatulate. Metanotum and 

 1st abdominal segment strongly longitudinally striate. Abd. 

 segments 2 to 7 transversely striate, 4 to 8 with an anterior 

 row of small teeth, increasing in size towards the 8th segment. 

 Abd. 9 unarmed ; abd. 10 with two cremaster hooks on 

 broad, conical bases, the hooks slightly diverging and curved 

 cephalo-ventrally, and each with two additional protuberances 

 at its cephalic end. 



Anterior part of pupa (head and thorax) black, caudal 

 portion of the wing cases natal brown (XL), 



Pupa, Female. — From the remains of the female pupa 

 which we had for examination it appears that it is distinctly 

 Psychid in character. About 7 mm. long by 2*5 mm. wide, 

 the widest part being at the 8th abdominal segment, from 

 whence it tapers gradually anteriorly and abruptly posteriorly. 

 Abdominal part of pupa smooth, glossy. 



Abdominal segments finely transversely striated, with the 

 intersegmental bands finely granulate. Abd. 7 with a small 

 median, dorsal, toothed area, bearing some 10 small, pointed 

 teeth, curved slightly posteriorly, arranged roughly in two 

 transverse i-ows ; the 8th segment with a similar, still smaller 

 area with four rudimentary teeth ; 9th segment with a low 

 median dorsal knob, not armed; 9th and 10th segment finely
