114 ACIDALIA MARGINEPUNCTATA. 
This description applies to the two more strongly 
marked larvee; in the others the black markings on 
the dorsal surface were comparatively indistinct, in 
one showing only as paler confused marks. 
When nearly ready for spinning up, I had two of 
them preserved ; the others spun loose cocoons in a 
corner of the cage, and on the 2lst July a ? imago 
emerged.) \(George Vi sonra iby lelilanaemler i

ACIDALIA SUBSERICEATA. 
Pl. CXVIII, fig. 7. 
[The following description is given in a paper on 
the larvee of this species and A. mancuniata, for which 
see under that species. | 
On the 25th August, 1870, I described the larva as 
follows : 
Acidalia subsericeata.—Leneth about three-quarters 
of an inch, tolerably stout posteriorly, but tapering 
considerably from the ninth to the second segment ; 
head small, nearly as broad as the second segment, and 
notched on the crown; a division in the centre of the | 
face renders the cheeks, which are rounded, prominent 
and distinct; body flattened when seen from above, 
but rounded on the ventral surface; divisions of the 
sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth segments very con-: 
spicuous, the anterior end of each being narrower than 
the posterior ; there are a few scattered but scarcely 
perceptible hairs, most conspicuous on the second 
segment, where they are pointed forwards; skin ribbed 
transversely and rather tough; ground colour com- 
posed of several shades of brown and ochreous, the 
eighth and ninth segments being conspicuously of the 
latter colour, some specimens having a faint green 
tinge; head ochreous, surrounded with dark brown ; 
mouth and central divisions of the face black ; from the 
notch in the head extends the fine pale greyish dorsal
