Pl. XXXIV. fig. 6 represents another case, armed beneath with 
very short thin twigs stuck on transversely, above which are narrow 
pieces of flattened lanceolated leaves ribbed down the centre, varying 
considerably in length, mixed near the apical end with bits of stick. 
In the only specimen of this case brought home by Mr. Stephenson, 
I found only some very slight remains of the cast skin of the larva, 
whence I infer it was a male case, and that the insect having under- 
gone its transformations, the empty shell of the pupa had been blown 
out of the extremity of the case before it was found. 
Plate XXXIV. fig. 7 is a case in my own collection, coated with 
great numbers of short bits of thin twigs entirely fixed in a ¢ransverse 
position, thus differing from all the other species described in this 
paper. It had been inhabited by a female larva which had commenced 
its transformation to the pupa state, the skin of the larva being slit 
and partially cast off, the upper hind part of the body of the female 
pupa being quite disengaged, but it had not power sufficient to throw 
off the head-case of the larva, which still remained entire, covering 
the head of the pupa. The head and thoracic segments of the larva 
were luteous, very much spotted with black. 
The four following species are natives of Ceylon, and have been 
communicated to me by R. Templeton, Esq., by whom two of them 
were described and figured in the Transactions of the Entomological 
Society, vol. v. pl. 5. 
Orxeticus TemMPLETONII, Westw. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 2 and 
details.) (O.tertius, Templeton, Trans. Ent. Soc. v. pl. 5, fig. 1-4.) 
The name proposed for this species by Mr. Templeton being in- 
correct as well as inappropriate, I propose to apply to the present 
species a name more in harmony with those of the remainder of the 
geuus. The species is well distinguished by its long body and narrow 
pointed fore wings, which have a large patch at the extremity of 
the discoidal cell, and a cloud between its extremity and the apex 
of the wing, of black, and the antennz are only semipectinated, 
thus resembling O. Kirbii and Saundersii. The male has the normal 
number of marginal branches (12), but the lower division (2e [5]) of 
the subcostal vein branches off at some distance from the extremity of 
the cell; and the lower discoidal (y) forms the upper part of a fork 
with the third branch (3,3) of the median vein. The discoidal cell, in 
all the wings, is traversed by a furcated veinlet. The antennze consist 
of forty joints, of which the third to the twenty-fourth are bipec- 
tinated, twenty-fifth to twenty-seventh biserrated, and the remainder 
strongly uniserrated. The fore legs are long, with a strong sharp 
spur arising from the base of the tibia. 
The male pupa is dark chestnut-coloured, with the abdominal seg- 
ments strongly wrinkled transversely ; the extremity of the body, in 
addition to the two terminal hooks, is furnished beneath with two 
prominent obtuse tubercles ; the only row of recurved hooklets which 
it possesses is situated across the extremity of the third abdominal
