Extract

The moths bred from the larvæ here described were kindly determined for me by Prof. J.B. Smith.

Tœniocampa alia, Guen.

Stage I.—Head shiny, pale yellow; mouth orange; ocelli black; width, .3 mm. The abdominal feet are well developed only on joints 9, 10 and 13, so the larva walks like a Geometrid. Body whitish, appearing green from the food within, with many black, piliferous dots. Joint 12 is a little enlarged; cervical shield coloured like the head, but paler, Length, 4 mm. This larva was found May 3.
