320 CHILO MUCRONELLUS. 



a darker brown ; there are two deep subdividing 

 wrinkles at the end of each segment, and the seg- 

 mental divisions are about the same, as those sub- 

 dividing on the thoracic segments are deep ; where 

 the skin is folded the colouring is deepened, and 

 when distended or extended rather paler ; the spiracles 

 are darkish brown but not very conspicuous ; the 

 colour of the belly and legs is of a paler tint, towards 

 which that of the sides melts by degrees. 



When turned out of the stem the movements of 

 the larva are rather slow. 



On the 8th of June, 1883, I received three or four 

 stems said to contain others. One stem had been split 

 at the bottom, and this I opened enough to see the pale 

 belly of a larva, but without a sign of life, so closed 

 it, and next day I found the larva was dead, and on 

 taking it out, saw that it had been disturbed while 

 fixed for moulting, as proved by the small protruding 

 head and swollen second segment ; so I kept the other 

 stems undisturbed and moist. (William Buckler, 

 9th June, 1883; Note Book IV, 77.) 



CHILO F0RF1CELLUS. 



On the 4th of September, 1871, I received from 

 Mr. C. G. Barrett eggs laid in a somewhat rounded 

 ball of brownish-grey fluff. 



They hatched on the 14th of September, the young 

 larvse being dark greyish-brown, with black heads and 

 black plates on the second segment. (William Buckler, 

 14th September, 1871 ; Note Book I, 141.)
