together, and curling round reach the end of the wings. The centre 

 of the ventral, nearly square, area helow the nose-spines has some 

 very small tubercles that are probably labium and mandibles. Then 

 the maxilla' continue the scjuare area downwards, gradually narrowing 

 to a very slender line before they finish at end of antennje. The width 

 here of antennn- and maxillie together is only about 0-Hmm. The 

 ventral angles from nose-spines are just in line with the margins of 

 maxillary margins, and approximate a little, just as the maxillary 

 margins continue to do. Outside tbe maxillae the first pair of legs are 

 extremely slender, and little more than 1-Omm. in length, and might 

 be easily overlooked. The second start from below the eyes, and extend 

 nearly G-Omm. to the ventral prominence of appendages. The wings 

 are very ample, 9-Omm. long and nearly 5.0mm. wide. As already 

 noted, their chief area is very fiat, between the wing-ridges behind and 

 the antenna in front. Poulton's line marks off a wide area, 1-Omm. at 

 the origin of the wing at inner margin, narrowing to anal angle, about 

 0-4mm. round hind margin, and at apex about l-2mm., the Ime being 

 rounded, the apex pointed. The hindwmg is a narrow margin, ap- 

 parently uninfluenced by the spiracles, and just reaching the 4th 

 abdominal segment. There is a dorsal suture, through prothorax, 

 mesothorax, and metathorax, but not very distinct on 1st abdominal. 

 On front half of mesothorax it is emphasised by distinct black ridge. 

 MovAHLK SEGMENTS. — The Only movement allowed is somewhat re- 

 stricted between the 4th and 5th abdominal segments, other incisions 

 seem to be quite anchylosed. Sculpture and Colour. — The colour is 

 rather dark terracotta much overlaid with black, so that it is rather a 

 dark pupa. The appendages are wrinkled very finely transversely ; 

 the maxill* pale with sulci dark, legs very dark. Antennae with the 

 segments marked out, dark, with a white dot marking raised central 

 spot on each segment. The wing is very dark outside Poulton's line 

 on inner half. The main area is pale with longitudinal dark lines. 

 The veins pale, ending in a dark spot, margined by darker ; but vein 

 4 is dark, with light colour along its front margin, and the costal 

 region is light ; the cell is also longitudinally clouded. The meso- 

 thoracic sculpture is in rounded raised fine ridges, divided into small 

 islets, not continuous enough, perhaps, to be called ridges. The 

 summits of these are pale down each side of the dorsal line, posteriorly, 

 and in a few lateral patches, looking as if the whole had been black, 

 but the colour worn off in some prominent places. The metathorax 

 is more definitely marked by transverse ridges, but very finely, a few 

 of the ridges, especially at the outer front corner, are pale. The 1st 

 and 2nd abdominal segments have transverse ridges right across, 

 looking (and probably being) more like subsegmentation than sculp- 

 turing" strictly. Behind these the sculpturing is in minute raised 

 bosses, in some degree arranged transversely, the summits of these 

 being more or less pale. The abdominal segments (dorsally) have 

 other markings— rather difficult to interpret. They are all much 

 alike, but taking the 4th as the simplest and clearest, there is a 

 suggestion of division into three equal subsegments. The two divi- 

 sion lines, just outside the median line, arc two transverse black 

 impressed lines, and appear to continue outwards as impressed lines — 

 difficult to see because uncoloured — and then fade out. The front one, 

 however, reappears half way to spiracle as a similar impressed black
