474 Dr. Harry Eltrmgham on the Larvae_and 
Euliphyra mirifiea Holl. Plate XIII, fig. 3. 
In an appendix to Mr. Lamborn’s paper in our Transac- 
tions of 1913, I described (p. 509) the larva of this species, 
and the material then at my disposal suggested that the 
pupa was always partly enclosed in the old larval skin. 
(That of the Australian Liphyra brassolis Westw. is com- 
pletely so enclosed, the larval skin forming a kind of 
puparium.) Further material shows that in this case the 
larval skin is not always, perhaps not generally, retained, 
since several examples are entirely without it. The pupa 
is attached by a sucker-like expansion of the terminal 
segments, and a depression of the abdominal segments 
forms a deep dorsal furrow. Its support is a leaf. On 
the thoracic region is a central ridge from which smaller 
ridges extend at right angles. The cuticle, especially 
of the abdominal region, is much folded and _ shrivelled. 
Length 19 mm. Lamborn, Oni. June—July 1912.

Pupa. This remarkable pupa is attached by the terminal 
segments to its support and stands nearly at right angles 
thereto. Round the point of attachment are found remains 
of the larval skin, which was evidently clothed with long 
spines. The wing-cases have a beautifully marbled pattern, 
whilst the remainder of the cuticle bears dark irregular 
markings. The head has a blunt horn-like projection, the 
thorax has two prominent dorsal ridges, and there are large 
prominences on some of the abdominal segments. Scattered 
over the head and thoracic region and on various points of 
the abdomen are rounded tubercles from which arise thick 
curved spines. In nature the pupa is evidently extremely 
cryptic, its grotesque form doubtless serving to hide its 
outline more or less completely. Length 20 mm. Lam- 
born, Oni. 19.4.1910. 
Epitola ceraunia Hew. Plate XII, fig. 3. 
Pupa. A very pale pupa with a few black markings, 
notably on the wing-cases and the dorsal and lateral 
regions. The smooth prominent tubercles, which in the 
dry specimens are orange brown, form the most characteris- 
tic feature. From each of these projects a blunt spine. The 
greater part of the dorsal thoracic and abdominal areas 
sparsely set with very minute spines or setae. Pupa
