  into 
  the 
  texture 
  as 
  to 
  give 
  it 
  quite 
  

   a 
  cloth- 
  like 
  surface.

  The 
  larva 
  of 
  this 
  specimen 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  April, 
  pupation 
  

   took 
  place 
  on 
  the 
  22nd 
  of 
  that 
  month, 
  whilst 
  the 
  imago 
  

   emerged 
  on 
  the 
  3rd 
  of 
  May. 
  The 
  pupa 
  is 
  enveloped 
  in 
  a 
  

   fine 
  hairy 
  case, 
  the 
  hairs 
  sufficiently 
  sparse 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  pupa 
  

   through.
