 Pinus, Mangifera, and Sonchus, bearing out my previous ex-

 webs, and frass of other larvae on numerous plants as enumerated 

 above.

 the costa, slightly diverging, and terminated below the costa at 

 at about one-third ; another, above it along the costa, slightly 

 widened towards its outer end ; a third, from the middle of the 

 base, extending to the outer margin of the olive-brown space, 

 whence a shorter, inverted, streak diverges, terminating opposite
