28G CRAMBUS FALStiLLUS. 



brownish-grey on the anterior portion of the body. 

 The head was glossy reddish-brown, and similarly a 

 plate on the second segment ; the internal vessels and 

 parts of the body show dark brownish-grey through 

 the transparent skin, which however is only glossy 

 on the spots, and they are but little darker than the 

 grey ground, and are each with a central spot of 

 warm brown, these showing best on the paler hind 

 segments, each bearing a fine hair ; the anal plate is 

 light warm brown ; the belly and beneath the minute 

 round black spiracles along the sides are light 

 ochreous-grey, which with the ventral legs have a 

 slight opalescent gleam of pinkish ; the legs are 

 tipped with brownish ; the anterior legs are reddish- 

 brown. 



The second segment is shorter than usual with any 

 Or ambus I have yet seen, so that the plate thereon is 

 much narrower. In those a quarter of an inch long 

 the front part of the body is light grey changing to 

 paler dirty flesh-colour; the grey is from the internal 

 parts showing through the skin, while the pale parts 

 behind seem more empty within. 



The pupa is five-sixteenths of an inch long, of 

 moderate substance, the wing-covers long, the end of 

 the leg-covers a little free from the abdomen, the ab- 

 dominal tip rather bluntly rounded off, the colour 

 light brown, dark brown at the tip, and the whole 

 surface glossy. 



The moths appeared on the 12th, 15th, 17th, 18th, 

 and 19th of August, six specimens in all. 



A large number of the larvae proved to be infested 

 with Chalcid parasites. (William Buckler, August, 

 1879; Note Book III, 265.) 



The newly-emerged larva of Grambus falsellus is 

 purplish-red, with blackish-brown head. 



They emerged from eggs sent to me by Mr. Hinch- 

 liffe of Alva. (George T. Porritt ; Note Book, 3rd 

 September, 1883.)
