and branches when large. In the resting position the front- 

 part of the body is raised slightly from the surface, the elongated 

 head pointing upwards. The larva is very active ; though 

 none of those found were attacked by parasites they were 

 very difficult to rear, dying for no apparent reason, especially 

 in the earlier instars. They do not become suffused with 

 brown or pink before pupation, which takes place in a cell 

 underground. The pupae are also delicate, and the moths 

 which emerged were often crippled. One $ had no claws on the 

 fore tarsi, and was unable to expand her wings in consequence. 

 A $ exposed for three or four nights failed to attract a <$. 

 She was very active at night and battered her wings to pieces.
