  This 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  West 
  African 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  previous 
  

   species, 
  but 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  quite 
  different 
  and 
  the 
  basal 
  line 
  is 
  

   nearer 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  a 
  different 
  shape, 
  whilst 
  the 
  postmedian 
  

   line 
  is 
  further 
  out 
  and 
  a 
  different 
  shape 
  also.

  The 
  perfect 
  insect 
  emerged 
  on 
  April 
  15th 
  from 
  a 
  cocoon 
  

   found 
  on 
  the 
  7th 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  month. 
  The 
  cocoon 
  is 
  pear- 
  

   shaped, 
  with 
  a 
  longish 
  tapering 
  tube 
  at 
  the 
  small 
  end 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  

   evidently 
  been 
  spun 
  on 
  a 
  sandy 
  soil, 
  being 
  entirely 
  composed 
  

   of 
  minute 
  particles 
  of 
  white 
  sand 
  for 
  the 
  outer 
  cover 
  ; 
  the 
  

   emergence, 
  however, 
  took 
  place 
  from 
  the 
  side 
  (near 
  the 
  

   middle), 
  not 
  from 
  the 
  end.
