thoracic segments, or only very faintly. The dorsal stripe is formed by a 

 concatination of small lines on the back of each segments, the front part of 

 which is narrow but broadening towards the back. The illustration is well 

 executed, but as it is drawn from the side it does not show the peculiar shape 

 of the body. The pupa, of a very humped shape hung close against the side 

 of the box, by the tail, but even after careful examination I could not discover 

 a girdle-thread. It was mottled with brown, light greyish on the back, the 

 rest of it darker or more reddish, with a black dorsal-line.

 is supposed to live upon Ficus species, and to eat both the leaves and the bark.
