70 AUSTRALASIAN WtJOniiORING HEPIALIDAE 



stage but with a reddish tinge and a thin mid dorsal line. Head is 

 very dark brown. In every detail of structure it corresponds 

 with younger larva. 



C. daphnandrf'i full fed at nearly two years ; length about 2 

 inches. Head smaller than Prothorax, abdominal segments 4 

 to 7 are slightly larger than anterior or posterior segments. 

 Head very dark brown ; prothoracic scutellum pale brown ; 

 thoracic and abdominal segments dirty yellowish white ; anal 

 segment reddish colour. A slight mid dorsal line of 

 brownish colour, and segmental incisions are reddish. The 

 structure as proceeding, black concavity of scutellum has three 

 setR? ; terminal hooks of abdominal feet are incomplete on outer 

 side, claspers likewise as before described. Setae retain minute 

 blunt thorns. ' 



(II.) C. eximia larvns live (?) two years, at nearly twelve 

 months length is li inch. Colour: Head mahogany red; Pro- 

 thorax light brown ; thoracic and abdominal segments 

 cream colour, with greenish mid dorsal line and incisions. 

 Tapers from head to anus. As regards structure, the position 

 of tubercles and number of sette exactly corresponds with C. 

 daphnandrae. Black concavity of scutellum contains three seta& 

 and one below. The spiracles of abdominal segments are well 

 forward on anterior edge of principle subsegment. Circle of 

 terminal hooks is complete on abdominal feet, but the claspers 

 have only the inner rows of hooks. Seta' are almost 

 smooth but have a few minute thorns near base. Head of 

 larva very much smoother than C. daphnandra- and it is 

 shining. 



C. eximia full fed at nearly two years, length about 2 

 inches. Colour : Head red brown ; Prothorax pale brown ; 

 thoracic and abdominal segments are cream with pinkish tinge. 

 All segments about same size, except 9, 10 abdominal, which are 

 smaller. Can only distinguish one seta within the black con- 

 cavity of scutellum. Terminal hooks, two very distinct rows 

 encircling extremity of abdominal feet, of claspers as before 

 described. 



(III.) C. ramsayi (?) two years, length 2 inches. Colour : 

 Head dark brown, striated ; Prothorax scutellum, pale brown 

 with rosy tinge ; thoracic and abdominal segments yellowish, 

 thin darker mid dorsal line. Segments apparently uniform in 

 size to 9, 10. Terminal hooks of abdominal feet complete, of 

 anal claspers like a figure 3 without hooks, posteriorily as in C. 

 virescens. Tubercle setae smooth. Skin smooth.
