margin of the body. They are circular with a diameter of about 17 ^j. 
The rim of these is comparatively narrow, beaded, and encloses a large 
transparent pore which is circular with a slight intrusion at one point. 
The antennae are 11-jointed. Joint II. is regularly cylindrical without 
the protuberance of eupliorhiae, III. is usually somewhat constricted below 
the middle ; IV., V., and VI. are about subequal (50 fx) ; VII. and VIII. 
subequal (68 ^) ; IX. and X. subequal (85 fx) ; joint XI. long, usually 
170-180 ^. 
Larva (mounted) : About 0*52 mm. long ; antennae 6-jointed, about 
0"385 mm. long without terminal setae ; longest terminal seta about 
044 mm. long. 
Caudal extremity with 6 very long setae, longest of which is about 
0*86 mm. long. The antennal segments approximate in ^ : — (1) 41 ; 
(2) 60 ; (3) 64 ; (4) 50 ; (5) 50 ; (6) 115. 
The marginal setae measure approximately 0-23 mm. The derm 
is characterized by numerous large, scattered, "rosette" glands. 
Habitat : On rose and ficus, Natal (T. D. A. Cockerell, I.e., p. 86). 
On palms, Durban, Natal. Collected by Chas. P. Lounsbury, October, 
1914. 
Eemarks : This species is also recorded from the Seychelles, Mauritius, 
Madeira, China, New Zealand, and Formosa on a variety of host-plants, 
including sugar-cane, guava, palms, rose, and citrus. Prof. Cockerell 
suggests that it is most likely a native of South Africa.

maturity. Colour in young stages castaneous, with a sHght secretionary 
covering ; later shiny, dark castaneous to nearly black, with marginal
