COMMENTS. This species is most distinctive in life, each black puparium secreting a fringe of sulphuryellow wax rays, and a median tuft of yellow wax (Fig. 140). The puparia are usually found in small groups under the leaves of lauraceous hosts. The puparial cuticle is hard and brittle, and requires a substantial degree of bleaching for slide examination, with the result that good slide preparations are few.
