Family LASIOCAMPID^E. 



MALACOSOMA NEUSTRIA Linnaeus, var. TESTACEA Motschulsky. 



UME-KEMUSHI. 



Food plant: P?mnus mume. 



The larva differs distinctly from the European one, so that I think 

 a racial name is justified, although Leech sinks testacea as a synonym." 

 The dorsal stripe is blue (not white), of the color of the lateral shad- 

 ings, while the lower of the orange subdorsal lines is 

 entirely absent. It much resembles the North Ameri- 

 can M. fraglUx Stretch, but the addorsal orange line 

 is straight and concrete, not diffused and mottled. 



DENDROLIMUS PINI Linnaeus. 

 MATSU-KEMUSHI. 



Food plant: Pinus deiuljloTa. 



The larvas before me are in several stages, but none 

 fully grown. They differ from my European speci- 

 mens in lacking the pale dorsal mottlings which form 

 blotches on the abdomen. These larvae are uniformly 

 darkly colored. 



Family BOMBYCID^E. 



BOMBYX MANDARINUS Moore. 

 KUWAGO.

 LARVA. 



Food plant: Morus alba. 



Leech states that this is probably the wild form of 

 the cultivated silkworm, Bomhyx mori Linnt^?us.'' Both adults and 

 larva? are much darker in color than the cultivated form. 



Family GEOMETRID.E. 



CISTIDIA COUAGGARIA Guenee. 



UME-SHAKUTORI-MUSHI. 



Food plant: Primus mume. 



The larva has a black head, with a transverse yellow line across the 

 clypeus and a narrow, short, vertical one on the apex of each lobe.
