Wings , (w). The mesothoracic wings extend to beyond the middle, 
c. |4hs of the fourth abdominal segment, where they are conjointly round¬ 
ed in a broad arc. 
Abdomen , Segments 1-3 fixed. Segments 4, 5, 6 moveable in both 
sexes. Segments 7-10 fixed. A visible suture but no dorsal furrow 
between segments 9 and 10. S'piracies of abdominal segments 2-7, 
uniform elliptical, margins elevate ; 8th linear with margins not elevate. 
Cremaster represented by 8 small rugosities at the apex of the 10th 
segment, from which arise 8 cuphooked setae ; four close together in a 
row and at either end one slightly postero-lateral and one more distant, 
antero-lateral. 
Proleg scars , (pis), conspicuous on segments 5 and 6 in the form 
of short pits connected by transverse interrupted striae. 
Setce, (st), inconspicuous, minute and whitish. On the head three 
pairs ; on the metathorax one pair, subdorsal; on the 1-8 abdominal 
segments 2 pairs, near the cephalic margin, subdorsal, supra-spiracu- 
lar ; on segments 4-8 one pair subspiracular ; on segments 5-8 one pair 
subspiracular ; on segment 9 one pair subdorsal, one pair subspira¬ 
cular ; on segment 10 one pair ventral. 
External Genitalia , (go), Female genital aperture a single short 
median slit extending almost to the cephalic margin of the 8th 
segment. Male genital aperture larger, the sinus impressed and 
bordered by elevations. 
Anal Opening, (ao), slit-like enclosed by a few longitudinal striat- 
ions. 
Length, (with cremastral hooks), male, 10-5 mm. ; female, 10-75— 
15-75 mm. ; length of cremastral hooks 0-5 mm. 
Variation. —In one case (within the first hundred examined) the 
2nd pair of legs extended to the anterior margin, and the antennae to 
the middle of the 4th abdominal segment. (Teste N.C.C.) 
The pupal characters established by Mosher, 1916, p. 75 for the 
subfamily Phycitinae include the following :—maxillary palpi present, 
epicranial suture usually present, dorsal furrow between abdominal 
segments 9 and 10 (except in the genera Ephestia and Plodia which, 
however, possess tubular spiracles on the mesothorax). Hypsipyla 
shows characters which approach those of the Phycitine group 
containing Ephestia and Plodia.
