Tubercles large colorless, obscure, normal ; iv and v united. A black dot before

 on joint 12. Head with faint red reticulations ; width 1.7 mm. 



Food-plant : Mulberry (^Morus ruhra^, solitary in a web on the 

 back of a leaf folding over parts of the leaf. 



Margaronia infimalis Guen. 



Larva. Head pale green, clypeus high. Body rather short and thick, cylin- 

 drical, tapering at the ends. Leaf green with a subdorsal white line ; spiracles small,

Sylepta gordialis Guen. 



Larva. Head rounded, full, the antennae long, whitish, reticulate with faint 

 brown dots in patches each side of the suture, over the lobes centrally and behind the 

 eyes; ocelli black, mouth brown ; width 1.6 mm. Body a little flat, the cervical

 and V united ; on thorax i, ii and iv -|- v with black dots, on joint 4 iib only so 

 marked ; tubercle iii the whole length sometimes with a small dot and one also at ii 

 on 12. 



Food-plant : Pisonia aciileata ; also on the cultivated Bougainvillia, 

 to which it is often rather injurious, webbing up the leaves and partly 

 defoliating the plants. 



Sylepta anormalis Guen. 



Larva. Head green with brown jaws and black ocelli; width about 2 mm. 

 Body rather thick, the segments irregularly 2-annulate, well incised ; not very trans-

Food-phxJit : Morning glory {Jponioea spp.), at first a leaf-stitcher,

Dichogama amabilis Moschl. 



Larva. Head rounded, broad, the apex under joint 2 ; clypeus high, the para-
