Front rounded; thorax not prominent, very short (2 mm. in length). The wing cases extend about three-fifths the distance toward caudal end; antennae reaching .8 mm. from margin of wings. On each typical abdominal segment there are two transverse rows of sharp pointed tooth-like processes arching over the dorsum, each process pointing posteriorly. The first row on each segment is located close to the anterior segmental margin and the second

Front rounded; thorax not prominent, very short (2 mm. in length). The wing cases extend about three-fifths the distance toward caudal end; antennae reaching .8 mm. from margin of wings. On each typical abdominal segment there are two transverse rows of sharp pointed tooth-like processes arching over the dorsum, each process pointing posteriorly. The first row on each segment is located close to the anterior segmental margin and the second row is slightly caudal to the center of the seg- ment. These are undoubtedly developed for the purpose of assisting the pupa to propel itself forward in the tube prior to emergence. The cremaster bears a few short recurved light brown booklets. Commander Dammers reports that he has reared this species from an evening primrose (Oenothera) and has also carried it to maturity on Buddlcia. The holotype and allotype of this species will be deposited in the collection of the Los Angeles Museum. Paratypes will be distributed to the U. S. National Museum, the Canadian Na- tional Museum at Ottawa, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the Natural History Museum, San Diego, the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences and the British Museum. W^e are indebted to our ever generous friend, August Busck, of the U. S. National Museum for council and advice in the study of this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
