280 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



prominent, all intermixed with many shorter tubercles, much as in the 

 previous stage. Colour brown with a pinkish tinge in front, pale behind 

 and below, a tapering whitish band over the ocelli and another obscure 

 one on each side of the clypeus ; labrum white ; ocelli black ; the spines, 

 except a black one below the apex of each lobe, yellowish-white ; width 

 4 mm. The jaws are greenish, black at base and tip. Body densely 

 covered with small, conical, pointed, yellowish tubercles on an olive green 

 ground, which gives it a beautiful mossy green appearance ; along the 

 subventral fold these tubercles are very long and thick, which gives the 

 appearance of a yellowish subventral line. The region below this, the 

 legs and venter are brown. A lateral row of super-stigmatal conical 

 tubercles, one on each segment, larger than those covering the body ; the 

 one on joint 3 is branched, but there are none on joints 2 and 13. The 

 subdorsal processes are very long and large, those on joints 3, 4, 6 and 

 12 the largest (5 mm. long), dark brown, covered with many conical 

 thick spines of varying length which are white and tipped with black. 

 On joint 2 there is no subdorsal process ; on joint 5 only a slight 

 tubercle; on joint 7 a somewhat larger one, which is branched ; on joints 

 8 and 11 a moderate process (2 mm. long) ; on joints g, 10 and 13 and 

 on the anal plate is a branched tubercle. On the feet, and less distinctly 

 also on the subventral region, short hairs arise from the granulations, but 

 not elsewhere on the body. The spiracles on joint 2 are faintly black 

 rimmed, the others concolorous with the body. As the stage advances 

 the olive green colour assumes a rather lighter tint and shades into 

 yellowish at the subventral row of spines. When at rest the head is turned 

 down, the anal feet elevated, the processes on joints 3 and 4 point 

 forward, those on joint 4 also projecting laterally, while the pair on 

 joint 6 lean backward. At the end of the stage the larva fades to a 

 uniform straw-yellow, the head pale brown, and spins its button of silk 

 for suspension. 



Chrysalis — Shaped somewhat as in Limenitis ; a long pointed, tri- 

 lateral, angular prominence over each eye; a carinated ridge runs the 

 length of the dorsum, elevated into a prominence on the thorax pos- 

 teriorly ; on the anterior part of the abdomen is a flattened prominence, 

 much as in Limenitis, but less disc-like, from which the ridge continues 

 down the abdomen, ending two segments from the rremaster. Wing cases 

 very prominent, projecting above the surface of the pupa, with an angular 

 point at base and the outer margin elevated. Colour pale wood-brownj
