c? ?. Antenna as short as in ?«yo/>.s. 



c?. Clasper (PI. XXXIV. f. 30) apically less rounded than in the two other 

 species ; harpe Lroader at end and more rounded, upper margin feebly concave 

 before ape.\ ; not distinctly sinuate. Penis-funnel as in mi/ops ; penis-slieath with 

 one tootli only (PI. XXIX. f. 38). 



? . Vaginal orifice large, transverse, its anterior edge produced into a chitinised

Larva pale green ; head granulose all over as in mt/ops, with a red side-stripe ; 

 granules of head and body yellowish-white, prominent, their setae longer than in 

 Ml/ops ; a series of red dorso-lateral spots : segment 1 with one posterior dot, 

 segment 2 with a dot on each annulet, five altogether, forming a more or less 

 complete stripe ; segment 3 with two, segment 4 with three dots, generally cou- 

 tluent to one spot, on the following si.x segments the spots become much larger, 

 covering five or six annulets, the last two sometimes smaller than the preceding 

 ones, segment 11 with two or three dots ; segments 5 to lU are marked, moreover, 

 with two red dorsal, elongate, somewhat comma-shaped markings, converging 

 behind on each segment, and between them there is an indication of a red mesial 

 luje, a series of red stigmatal sjjots, variable in size, middle ones elongate, oblique, 

 abdominal legs also spotted with red ; horn with very prominent tubercles, tip
