Third stage (dimorphic). Head rounded, green, with conical white 

 granulations; a faint yellowish line runs up before the ocelli, in the brown 

 form followed by a black shade posteriorly; width 1.8 mm. Body cylin- 

 drical, annulated, covered with white granulations; a very faint subdorsal 

 line and indications of the seven oblique lateral lines, in the brown form 

 preceded by black shades; spiracles surrounded by black and similarly 

 colored marks on all the feet; spiracles ocherous. 



Fourth stage. Head uniform light green, thickly covered with small, 

 round, white tubercles; a vertical whitish line before the black ocelli, 

 width 3.2 mm. Body roughened with many white granulations like those 

 on the head, more elongated on the caudal horn and bearing there minute 

 seta2; color green, with a whitish shading and seven oblique lateral lines 

 on joints 5-11, the last produced over joint 12 to the base of the horn, 

 the others reaching from before the spiracle to subdorsal region, but con- 

 tinued back on the succeeding segment by a faint white shade. Lines 

 pale yellow, preceded by a bright green shade and marked centrally by a 

 small dash of light purple. Horn green, yellow at tip; thoracic feet red- 

 brown; spiracles rusty brown, bordered narrowly with ocher. 



Fifth stage (green form). Head higher than wide, rounded, flat in 

 front, smooth, shagreened; leaf green, with a broad, black, vertical band 

 on each side covering the ocelli, whrch it just encloses by its well-defined 

 anterior border; before it the ground color assumes a yellowish tint and 

 preceding this yellowish shade is a faint, blackish clouded band; width 

 6 mm. Body plump and robust, the segments annulated; head slightly 

 retracted below joint 2, and joint 2 below joint 3; but body elsewhere of 

 uniform size. Horn large, tapering, curved backward, covered with short 

 tubercles which bear very minute setae. Body smooth, colored leaf green, 

 a little mottled with whitish, with the following purplish brown mottled 

 marks: a patch covering the thoracic feet and their bases; an oblique, 

 subventral patch on joint 6 analogous to the marks covering the abdomi- 

 nal feet, each of which extends upward and forward obliquely in a broad 

 band, ending at the anterior border of the segment; the one covering the 

 anal foot extends along subventrally to the anterior edge of joint n; sub- 

 anal plate green, contrasting with the nearly black bases of the feet, bor- 

 dered above by a faint brown subdorsal shade; a broad, subdorsal band, 

 enlarged centrally on each segment, begins behind the cervical shield, 

 widens and sends out an arm obliquely forward and downward on joints 

 5-11, each of which ends at the anterior edge ot the segment before the 

 spiracle. The band narrows on joint u posteriori}' and ends at the horn, 

 which is colored blackish brown with small greenish tip. The lateral 

 branches of the subdorsal band are edged posteriorly with white, repre- 

 senting the usual oblique stripes; spiracles black, with a linear ocherous 

 border and central dividing line, those on joints 5-12 surrounded by a 

 circular black patch, contiguous (except on joint 12) to the oblique lateral 

 lines. Length about 115 mm.; of horn 7 mm.
