Lateral puncture (La) posterior and slightly dorsad of LI, remote. 

 Ocellar setae well separated; 01 equidistant from and slightly 

 dorsad of Ocelli // and ///; 02 directly ventrad and approximate 

 to Ocellus /; 03 on a line with Ocelli V and VI ventrad to and 

 remote from 02; ocellar puncture (Oa) approximate to and dorsad 

 of 03. Subocellar setae triangularly grouped and equidistant from 

 each other; subocellar puncture (SOa) equidistant from setae SOI, 

 S02, and S03. Genal seta and puncture approximate to ventral 

 hind margin of epicranium, midway between hypostomal ridge and 

 lateral margin; puncture dorsad of the seta. 



Labrum anteriorly narrowed, with entire anterior margin very 

 slightly concaved, nearly straight. Setae of median group in the 

 usual ^licro arrangement with M2 postero-laterad of Ml and with 

 M3 forward and rather well separated from Ml and M2; lateral 

 setae {Lai, La2, La3) on a line within the lateral margin; La2 

 approximately equidistant from Lai and La3; M3 and La3 on 

 a level, well behind anterior margin of the labrum. 



Epipharyngeal shield very small and poorly defined. Epi- 

 pharyngeal setae triangularly grouped near anterior-lateral margin 

 of epipharynx; narrow; pointed; moderately long. Epipharyn- 

 geal rods well developed; posterior projections long and stout. 



Maxillulae normal; with well developed, strongly spined lobes. 



Pupa. — (pi. 12, figs. 75, 76.) Elongate; slender; maxilliary palpi 

 present; mandibles, labrum, fronto-clypeal suture and invaginations 

 for anterior arms of tentorimn clearly indicated; front extended 

 upward into a point; maxillae short, slender; wings extended to mid 

 venter of 5tli abdominal segment; antennae not extending to end of 

 wings; metathoracic legs extending well beyond end of wings; dor- 

 sum of abdomen with a row of stout spines on the cephalic margin 

 of segments 2 to 9 and a row of smaller spines on caudal margin of 

 segments 2 to 7^; cremaster absent; tenth abdominal segment with 

 a prominent hooked lateral projection on each side; genital opening 

 slit-like in both sexes; anal opening long, slit-like, at extreme caudal 

 end of body. 



Specific description — Larva. — Full grown 16-17 mm. long; 5.5 

 mm. broad at prothorax. Body whitish, uiunarked; legs brownish 

 yellow on outer side with darker brown claws; crochets of prolegs 

 bro^vn, 38 to 40; thoracic shield pale yellow on anterior dorsal half, 

 divided by a narrow white median line, posterior and lateral parts 

 concolorous with body of larva; anal shield faintly tinged with pale 

 lemon yellow; body tubercles moderately large, mipigmented, 



> Dr. Edna Mosher (A Classification of the Lepidoptera Based on Characters of the Pupa, Bull. 111. 

 State Lab., vol. 12, art. 2, Mar., 1916, pp. 44-45) gives the absence of such caudal spines as diagnostic 

 character for her super-family Tineoidea. Their presence in Dorala shows that their presence or absence 

 can only be of generic significance. Phycii (Scardia) also has them well developed on abdominal seg- 

 ments 3 to 6 inclusive.
