not thus far been reared here the following description has been 

 prepared from inflated specimens removed from the cocoon and will 

 certainly need modification when compared with feeding larvae. 



Head small, 3 mm. in diameter, its clypeus and sides brown of 

 varying depth, the top and front down to and at the sides of the 

 clypeus light ; with a light spot or sometimes an elongation of the 

 light color into the brown of the side at about the level of the top of 

 the clypeus. Anterior margin of the labrum deeply and broadly 

 notched, dark brown. Eyes placed in a dark spot. Legs pale resi- 

 nous yellow, very small, their claws dark brown. Second (protho- 

 racic) segment rather small ; prothoracic shield rounded triangular, 

 with a pair of quite large brown spots in front, a small pair behind, 

 and a few minute brown dots on the sides. Subdorsal row of horns 

 well developed and bearing spines ; small on the third, much larger 

 on the fourth, and very large on the fifth segment, the spines on 

 these three segments being black except at their bases. The sub- 

 dorsal horns and their spines are very minute on the sixth and tenth 

 segments, larger on the seventh, eighth and ninth, their spines being 

 pale, tipped with black. Horns and spines of this row on the elev- 

 enth segment about like those on the fifth ; those on the twelfth and 

 thirteenth about like those on the third. Lateral horns and spines 

 small on the third segment and quite near the subdorsal ones ; those 

 on the fourth larger, lying only a short distance in front of and above 

 the first abdominal stigma which has moved upward nearly to the line 

 of the lateral horns. Lateral horns absent on the fifth segment ; 

 fairly well developed on the sixth to tenth segments inclusive, but 

 not very noticeable, only the tips of the spines being black ; much 

 larger on the eleventh and twelfth segments and with more black on 

 the spines. Stigmata pale brown, slightly oval. Below each stigma 

 a short distance are two or three small, slender hairs. There are no 

 traces of prolegs. As regards the colors and their distribution Dyar 

 says : " Purplish brown dorsally, including a diffuse white dorsal 

 band with dark edges, distinct only centrally. Sides green, just 

 covering the lateral horns of joint 4, reaching up to the subdorsal 

 horns on joints 7 to 9, retreating to the lateral horn on joint n, but 

 covering joints 12 and 13 and with an angular patch about the sub- 

 dorsal horns of joint n ; green spots below the subdorsal horns of 

 joints 4 and 5. A white broken lateral band with dark edges; sub- 

 ventral edge pale, with a dark line above."
