Abstract
A fossil Lepidoptera from Laetoli is described and illustrated. EP 352/03 is a pupa of an Emperor Silkmoth (Saturniidae) belonging to the tribe Bunaeini of the subfamily Saturniinae. Comparisons are made with pupae of several extant species of Bunaeini, the closest match being with Cirina forda, allowing aspects of the biology of EP 352/03 to be predicted.
