 BO that if was immoveable, though the sand was Liose ; the interior of 

 the cocoons beautifully smooth, with fine silken lining. 



The pupa one and five-eighths of an inch in length, and half-an- 

 inch in diameter, tapering a little from the thorax towards the frontal 

 extremity, where it is rather smooth ; the wing cases pressed close to 

 the body ; the abdominal rings in tolerable relief ; the outline tapers 

 a little near the anal tip, which ends in a broad, flattish, downward- 

 curved spike pointed at its extremity, the remains, apparently, of the 

 caudal horn of the larva. 



The colour a dingy, deep brick-red above, fading a little beneath 

 to more of a flesh colour, and thickly covered with minute blackish 

 punctures ; the wing-covers dark brownish much freckled and finely 

 streaked with blackish, as are also the head, antennpe, eye, and leg- 

 and trunk-cases ; the segmental divisions of the abdomen dull purplish- 

 red, and quite smooth, while the parts between them are roughened 

 by black pits or punctures on a rather shining ground ; a dorsal line 

 of the ground colour is visible on the back of the thorax ; the 

 spiracles black.
