5. Flagellar segments slightly tliougli distinctly constricted just beyond 

 the first ring of loops; neck rather shorter than in thee?. Loops about a 

 quarter as long as the diameter cf the segment. Ovipositor non-prutrusible, 

 with a pair of small, simj)le, oval lamellae, and a pair of large, rounded, ventral 

 lobes. 



Pupa flattened, subcircular in form. Exuvium hyaline, smooth, without 

 any apparent spines or tubercles. Prothoracic horns strongly chitinised, about 

 half as long as the separated antennal sheaths, slender, almost bristle-like, 

 somewhat tapering to the rather blunt tip, which is slightly curved ; perfora- 

 tions scarcely visible even under a magnification of 300. 



Larva whitish, broadly oval, flattened, the integument almost completely 

 bare, and without well-marked tubercles. Spatule well-marked, pear-shaped, 

 with two small ec[uilateral-triangular points in front. First two thoracic seg- 

 ments microscopically papillose at the sides. A minute bristle in the middle 

 of the side margin of each segment, and in addition four similar bristles behind 

 the anus. A small tubercle on the ventral surface near the lateral margin of 

 each segment. Spiracles all sessile and unmodified, the first and last pairs 

 somewhat lai'ger than the others. 



Mycocecis oval is, sp. n. 



Head rather abruptly broadened just below the middle. Eyes large, 

 broadly contiguous above the antennae, v\idely separated behind the mouth
