Mr. T. B. Fletcher on the genus Dcuterocojjus. 133 
•• Pale-green without any markings except red suffusion at either 
extremity. The skin is roughened into minute knobs (like shark 
skin) everywhere, but especially on the ventral region. A distinct 
subsegment is formed on the posterior ventral region of abdominal 
segments. The hairs, excejjt (i), are very short and inconspicuous ; 
(i) is short, less than breadtli of segments. The hairs are trans¬ 
parent whitish (glassy) and the tubercles very indistinct. The hairs 
are longest on thoracic and anal regions. The legs are extremely 
short and inconspicuous. There are no secondary hairs, these seem¬ 
ing to be reduced to skin-points or rather rugosities of the skin.” A 
sketch of the arrangement of the tubercles was given in figure 7 of 
Plate E of the publication quoted. 
Pupa .—A pupa, also found at Galle on June 18, 1908, was brown 
with a broad lighter ochreous-fuscous central band ; very few hairs

or projections. It was suspended anally to a flower-stalk within a 
slight attempt at a cocoon—a few silken threads spun around it to 
form a spacious but flimsy enclosure, in wdiich the pupa was fully 
visible. The cast larval skin remained at the anal extremity of the 
pupa.
