c? ?. This species does not differ in structure from P.Jfoir»tan. Tiie forewins; 

 is more vavie!j;ated than in Jlorestan, the transverse lines, as a rule, lieing much 

 more jirominent, and hence ai)])earing to be more numerons ; the black discal 

 streaks R^ — M- are short, often absent. The species varies individually to a 

 considerable extent. With pulvillus. The differences between the two insects — 

 if a series is compared — do not seem to tis to be reliable. We should not be 

 surprised \i Jlorestan and lichenea were proved to be one variable species. End of 

 tarsus see PI. LXIV. f. 11. 12. 



Larva green, not yellowish, with small yellowish granules, which are sparse ou 

 tiie first three segments; side-bauds narrow, pink, united above by a thin mesial 

 line, each band rather deeper red behind (ace. to Burmeister, correct?).
