The apex of the anterior femora narrowly, of the intermediate 
more broadly, almost the apical three-fourths of the posterior except 
below, the four anterior tibiw, except below, the basal three-fourths 
of the posterior above, and the greater part of the four anterior tarsi, 
yellowish-white; the spurs black, the longer of the posterior almost 
half the length of the metatarsus. The tarsal and tibial spines are 
numerous, black, and much shorter than usual. Scutellum flat. Base 
of mesonotum broadly rounded. . 
Salnis (Myngynia) hirticandis, sp. nov. 
Black, the head above and below, the prosternum, fore coxe, and 
ventral surface of abdomen covered with long black hair; the apical 
two abdominal segments densely with shorter fuscous pubescence, 
which becomes much paler towards the apex; wings dark fuscous, 
intersected with lighter spots; the apex with a fuscous hyaline border 
beyond the nervures; the third abscissa of the radius about one- 
fourth longer than the second; the second transverse cubital nervure 
is curved and angled at its junction with the recurrent; the third is 
irregularly, roundly curved outwardly ; the second recurrent nervure 
is received shortly beyond the apex of the basal third of the cellule. 
Kyes slightly converging above, separated there by the length of the 
third antennal joint. Apex of labrum slightly, roundly incised in the 
middle, the sides at the incision roundly oblique. Apical joints of 
palpi fuscous. The tibial and tarsal spines stout. The long spur of the 
hind tibiae extends shortly beyond the middle of the metatarsus. @. 
Length, 37 mm. 
Kuching, Borneo, May (John Hewitt, B.A.). 
The basal tooth on the claws is shorter and blunter than the 
apical. Temples short, broadly rounded. Hinder ocelli separated 
from each other by almost the same distance as they are from eyes. 
Antenne stout, tapering towards the apex, the joints not clearly 
separated ; the third not one-quarter longer than the fourth. 
NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
DEFERRED EMERGENCE OF HUPITHECIA TOGATA.—Although many 
species of Lepidoptera belonging to most diverse families are known 
in certain seasons, or even habitually, to pass more than one year in 
the pupal state, Iam not aware whether this habit has before been 
noticed in the case of the “pugs.” The following note may therefore 
be of interest:—In the winter of 1907, in response to an advertisement 
in this Journal, I purchased from a collector in Perth one dozen pups 
of the above species. The cocoons were placed in a breeding-cage kept 
in a lavatory in the house, and in 1908 nine imagos emerged on the 
following dates:—Two on May 24th, one on the 25th, two on the 
27th, two on the 28th, one on the 29th, and one on the 30th. As no 
more emerged, I concluded that there had been a death-rate of 25 per 
cent. On clearing out the cage preparatory to a journey to Scotland 
last autumn (1908), I noticed that one of the pupe, as seen through 
the partially opened cocoon, did not appear to be dead, so this and
