white silk; the neck of the bag is filled up with fluffy, loosely- 

 woven, cream-coloured silk. At the top of the cavity we find 

 the exuviae of the last instar of the larva. 



When ready for pupation, although no inner bag is made, 

 we find that both the upper end of the bag and the lower 

 half are filled with a dense mass of fluffy, sticky, white silk, 

 leaving a clear space at the middle, in which the pupa lies 

 head downward. 



In the case of the female the exuvite of the last moult are 

 found pushed to the upper part of the bag cavity; in the male 

 pupa these last larval exuviae are pushed out of the bag, 

 remaining suspended at the lower end, entangled in the silk. 

 These exuvite are light in colour, and especially the head- 

 case, so that here, as in the Wattle Bagworm, the last instar 

 is one in which the caterpillar does not attain its full 

 coloration, and, presumably, does not feed. 



Male Pupa. — Length 6 mm., width TS mm., depth l'8mm., 

 truncated in front ; sides of wing-cases nearly straight and 

 parallel ; pupa tapering rather abruptly caudally from the 

 posterior edge of the 6th abdominal segment (text-fig. 19, a-e) . 

 Head only slightly convex ; eyes large, prominent. Clypeus 

 short, trapezoidal ; paracl3'peals subcircular, distinct; labium 

 broad, large ; maxillary palpi distinct, trapezoidal. Antennal 

 cases broad, longitudinally sulcate, not reaching the end of 

 the wing-cases. Ventral edge of front wing-cases reaching 

 to the middle of the 3rd abdominal segment, posterior wing- 

 cases projecting slightly beyond them on all sides. Prothorax
