THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 109 



After third moult : length .3 inch ; colour gray, the sides speckled 

 white ; a blackish mid-dorsal stripe ; the outer side of the tubercles of 

 the mid-lateral row now white, and this colour is diffused so as to give 

 the appearance of a macular stripe the whole length of body. 



After fourth moult : length .5 inch ; general colour gray ; the dorsum 

 and lower part of side dark ; the area between these dark portions 

 streaked crosswise with black ; the basal stripe red-brown ; the spines 

 mostly russet from tip to base, but those on 2, 3, and the lower ones on 

 13, are all black ; those on dorsum of 4 and 13 tipped black ; all spines 

 short, slender, tapering, with short black hairs ; head obovoid, shining 

 black, with long black hairs. I can only describe the pupa from the 

 drawing. Shape of Bellona ; the ventral side and the wing cases pale 

 brown, the latter, along the margins shading into whitish, and at the 

 margin becoming pure white ; head-case on the dorsal side, and the meso- 

 notum, pale brown mottled with whitish, in the excavation quite dark 

 brown, especially next the wings ; abdomen whitish, finely mottled with 

 pale brown, with a dark brown patch on either side the ventral line on 

 9, 10, II 



This larva, in the later stages, is quite different in coloration from 

 Bellona, as may be seen by comparing this description with Mr. Scudder's, 

 of Bellona; and the pupa differs still more. 



5. Ajithocharis Genutia and A. Ausonides. 



On page 52 of this volume, I said that I had one pupa of Genutia of 

 1890 living. I had, in fact, three pupae of that age, but supposed two 

 were dead. But March 9th i $ , and on 13th 2 $ s came out, beautifully 

 marked, all of them, the orange of the male vivid, and all with unusually 

 large, black edging to forewings, and black marks at tips of the nervules 

 of the hindwing. 



At same time a female Ausonides has come out of a pupa that I have 

 had since May, 1890, a large, well-marked example, the hindwing very 

 strongly buff colour. I am told that some collectors think that A. 

 Hyantis is spring form of Ausonides. If so, it is a mistake. There is 

 but one annual brood of Ausonides. In different years I have had four 

 examples come from bred pupae ; all in the month of March ; all typical 

 AusoJiides. 



6. Lyccena Lygdamas, Doubleday. 



On May 25, 1891, I received from Mr. A. D. Hopkins, the Entomo- 

 logist of the Agricultural Station of West Virginia, four larvfp of this
