Abstract
The diversified position of the frons, ad frontals and clypeal sclerite on the head capsule of larval Lepidoptera an arctiid has been attempted to simplify the terminology for uniformity in usage. Several unnomenclated setae and punctures are named, and described new while discussing the chaetotaxy. A few characters of taxonomic interest have also been generalised.
