Cervical shield pale brown with black spots, edged on the sides 

 with a continuation of the dark upper edging of the sublateral line. 

 Principal hairs located as in the previous stage Gland and eversible 

 organs as before. 



Duration of this stage 4 days. 



After fourth moult. Length of mature larva, 14 mm. Greatest 

 width (gth and loth segments) 4 mm. Greatest height (3rd to 5th 

 segments) 3.50 mm. Slug-shaped. Color, light green. Head and 

 feet black. Body granulated with white points. Cervical shield light 

 brown spotted with minute short black spines terminating in a 

 star-shaped process. Dorsal line dark green, interrupted by the cer- 

 vical shield but appearing on the first segment, which is carried 

 horizontally. 



The dorsal line is edged on each side with light yellow green. 

 There is a short hair on segments 2 to 9 inclusive on each side of 

 the dorsal line toward the rear of each segment. Segment 10 has 

 one hair on the dorsal line behind the gland. Segment 2 also has 

 one on each side of the dorsal line on the anterior part of the seg- 

 ment. Segment i has many hairs indiscriminately placed. 



The oblique markings are as in the previous stage and very promin- 

 ent. Substigmatal line as before, edged with hairs of even length 

 as is also the case in the preceding stage. 



Subventral line a trace,- light yellow green bearing short hairs. 

 Spiracles round, clear, surrounded with minute erect brown hairs. 

 Venter, clear green. Prolegs green. 



Segment 10 bears the oval sac as before. The eversible organs 

 present on the nth segment. 



As the time for pupation draws near the larvae turn blue green. 



The above is a description of the average larva. In some cases 

 the dorsal line is dark brown, in others deep wine-colored. In one 

 instance the color of the dorsal line was suffused over the top of the 

 second and third segments giving them a rose color. The type of 

 the markings is, however, constant. 



Time in this stage 5 to 6 days. 



The larvae in almost every instance pupated in the bottom of the 

 receptacle suspending themselves under leaves by a short girdle 

 passing between segments 4 and 5. 



Average time of suspension 2 days. 



Time from laying of egg to pupa 26 days. 



Pupa. Length, 9 mm. ; width, 4 mm. Of the usual Lycaenid shape. 

 Suspended by a short girdle. The color varies from black with no 

 markings to brown with dark dorsal line and light brown patches 

 on the dorsum. In the light forms the wing-covers are greenish 

 brown with the veins showing in green. The whole surface is heavily
