80 ARCTIID^. 



steel-blue tubercles, partially covered with a short, black, velvety pile and loug, scattered, 

 white hairs. 



From the position of this and other cocoons of the same species it is probable that the 

 larva feeds on lichens. 



(Eonistis entella. Cram. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 8 (larva).) 

 Phalaena entella, Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 208 d. 



Larva (adult). Head red-brown; ground-colour ochreous, streaked and mottled with 

 black dorsally and brown laterally and ventrally ; numerous tufts of grey and brown hairs ; 

 the first somite with short dorsal and lateral tufts projecting forwards; the second somite 

 with a very long pair of dorsal tufts, and a shorter pair of lateral tufts, and a quite short 

 latero-ventral pair; the third somite has the dorsal tufts arising from a crimson excrescence 

 and rather long, as are the lateral pair, while the latero-ventral pair are very short ; on all the 

 other somites the dorsal tufts are short and arise from orange excrescences, except on seventh 

 somite, where the excrescences are crimson ; the lateral tufts arc long and the latero-ventral 

 short ; the anal somite has one dorsal tuft arising from a large median excrescence. 



The three pairs of legs, four pairs of prolegs, and anal claspcrs are brown. 



The larva has a very Arctid appearance, but feeds on lichens.
