ie ocelli are white, six in number, arranged in the form of an 
gate letter C, with the space enclosed varying from very dark¬ 
en to nearly black. 
h the head, body and legs are sparsely-placed white, setaceous 
|3; those on the head, first and last segments, and legs, are 
er long. On segments two to twelve, inclusive, these hairs are 
prominent, being placed in two transverse rows, those of the 
rior row being much the shorter. On the first segment the 
3 of both rows are equal; on the thirteenth segment, they are 
equal, but, from the form of the segment, they are placed in 
rcular position. 
le body, with the exception of the spiracles, is white, smooth, 
densely covered with minute, erect spinules, which can only be 
under a powerful glass. Traces of brown patches appear, in 
3 examples, on the dorsal surface of the first segment. Spira- 
dorsal hooks, and minute terminal hooks on the pro-legs,

le legs are rather large at base, but taper rapidly, each termi¬ 
ng in a small hook. 
'lie pro-legs, ten in number, are small, wart-like, and terminate 
vo or three minute, robust hooks. (Curtis, in “Farm Insects,” 
12, says that they terminate in a complete coronet of hooked 
[ales, but this is certainly an error.) 
( DESCRIPTION OF THE PUPA. 
iis is a little over one-fiftli of an inch in length, the anterior 
S-imity being obtuse, the posterior more acute, and surrounded 
ring of sparsely-set setae. 
! 3ad, thorax and wing-pads dark, tjie abdomen lighter-brown, 
vings nearly reaching the posterior extremity. Eyes in mature 
3 distinctly visible, and black. 
i the abdomen are rows of setae, placed as follows: a double 
on the margin, above the spiracles, placed in pairs; just below 
close to the spiracles, a single row, one on each segment; each 
of the middle line of the body, another double row, the outer 
y placed on the posterior, the inner on the anterior part of the

lj t the inner side of the breast are a few scattered hairs, and on
