THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



narrow black line ; six of the reddish lines are on the back and sides, one 

 (interrupted) through the spiracles, and four on abdomen. Anal segments 

 spotted with black, as also first, second and third segments. Mouth 

 pinkish, legs pink, spotted with black ; spiracles dark colored. 



It will be seen that the larva changes but little during growth. At the 

 end of July they descend and bury themselves in the earth, changing in 

 a few days to pupae, without forming any case. The pupa is brown, 

 rather stout in form, and furnished at the tail with a small spine, which is 

 generally bifid. It much resembles that of Amphidasys cognataria.
