folded inwards, and the antennse much more faintly : and the abdo- 

 men tapers posteriorly to the usual vase-shaped orifice, normal of the 

 genus. When examined by transmitted light, there appear three 

 radiating patches, two from the thorax to the spiracular lateral de- 

 pression of the test, and one from the abdominal orifice to the poste- 

 rior, minute cleft in the test; these patches are narrow and formed of 

 numerous small irregular cells in a lace-like pattern. 



Adult form unknown as yet. 



Habitat in Indja, on Jambool {Eugenia j'ambolana), Poona. 

 A species differing slightly from A.proletella^ Linn., and A.melicytit 

 Maskell. The absence of a marginal fringe and the three radiat- 

 ing lace-like patches are distinctive characters. 



Explanation of figures: — a, Pupa, ventral view ; b, lace-work 

 patch ; and c, abdominal orifice, — all enlarged.
