XIII, D, 4 Wileman: Japanese Lepidoptera 155 



The larva figured (Plate I, fig. 6) was taken in May (figured 

 May 17), 1901, at Yoshino, Yamato Province, Honshu, on enoki 

 (Celtis sinensis Pers.). No imago was bred from this larva, 

 but a male imago of form confusa Bremer, the larva of which was 

 compared with my original figure, emerged on June 12, 1901. 

 Two other female imagoes of the form confusa emerged from 

 similar larvse on June 18 and August 11, 1901, respectively. I 

 also bred it at Hakodate, Hokkaido, on July 29, 1902. 



Larva. — Strand '^ says : 



The larva [of confusa Brem.] is not unlike that of fascelina L. with 

 long hairy brushes; those near the head yellow with darker hairs in the 

 center; on low-growing plants, especially on vetches (Graeser). 



Staudinger ' also gives a short but inadequate description of 

 the larva. Matsumura says that it feeds upon daizu (Glycine 

 hispida Maxim) ; fuji, wistaria (K^-aunhia floribunda Taub.) ; 

 utsugi (Deutzia scahra Thunb.). The following description is 

 taken from my original description of the larva : 



Larva. — Length, 47 millimeters. Yellowish gray; dorsal me- 

 dial black stripe ill defined from segments 2 to 8 (counting head 

 as segment 1), broadly defined from segments 9 to 12, bordered 

 on each side by a yellowish subdorsal line ; two moderately long, 

 blackish gray subdorsal tufts of hair pointing forward from 

 large tubercles on segment 2; between the black medial and 

 yellow subdorsal stripes there is a series of subdorsal tubercles 

 on segments 2 to 4 and 7 to 12, which, with the exception of that 

 on segment 2, emit short whitish gray spinelike hairs; laterally 

 yellowish gray with a brownish yellow tubercle emitting small 

 fascicles of gray hairs on each segment mid-laterally from seg- 

 ments 3 to 12; a spiracular line of similar tubercles and fascicles 

 of thicker gray hairs, the fascicles on segments 5 and 6 being 

 blacker and longer ; two yellow medio-dorsal, cup-shaped tuber- 

 cles on segments 9 and 10; four deep ruddy-brown brushlike 

 tussocks of hair on segments 5 to 8 ; a short black brushlike 

 tuft, pointing backward on segment 12; two longer black tufts 

 on anal segment pointing posteriorly ; anal segment yellow. 



Nagano " gives in Japanese a long description of the metamor- 

 phoses of Cifuna locuples Walker, accompanied by descriptions 

 and figures of the ova, the larva, the cocoon, the pupa, and the 

 imago. His description seems to agree with mine in so far as
