continues outward to termen, in a broad white shade. The sub-terminal 

 line is obsolete and the row of black dots nearly so. Hind wings less 

 white and more whitish-purple or ashy-white.

Homocosoma eledelluvi, Hulst. — One specimen ; Regina. Bred from 

 larva on buds of Grindelia. Larva, IX.,. 19; issued X., 5. Accompany- 

 ing this specimen is a very well preserved larva, and at the request of Dr. 

 Dyar I make the following brief description : 



Length, 11 mm. Robust, cylindrical, thoracic segments tapering to 

 head. Diameter through abdominal segments, 2 mm.; width head, i mm. 

 The larva is very beautifully marked with five purple and four yellow 

 streaks from head to anal segment. The dorsal stripe is purple, one sub_ 

 dorsal and one sub-spiracular on each side of the same colour. Between 

 these bands are yellow stripes of about half the width of the purple ; 

 doubtless the yellow of the dried larva was a dull or light green when 

 alive. Ventral region dull ochreous-yellow (also green naturally ?). 



Head : Small, rounded, retracted, not outstretched, light chestnut 

 brown, mouth-parts and ocellic field dark brown and a horizontal black 

 streak caudad from latter on each lobe, ocelli pale luteous, raised like tiny 

 drops- of dew. Antennte either very short or broken off of this specimen. 

 Clypeus high, sides straight, triangularly to a point at top of head. P. t. 

 shield large, chitinous, shining ochreous, with a posterior black line on 

 dorsum, extending down on each side and enlarging into an ovate black 

 spot; narrowly surrounding this spot, except posteriorly, is a pale yellow 

 line. Thoracic feet very dark brown or black, short. Four pairs 

 abdominal and one pair anal feet, crochets well developed, in closed 

 circles, hooks brown. Anal shield small, hardly chitinous, cinereous. 

 Setje short. Tubercles : Abdommal segments : i. very slightly dorsad to 

 ii.; iii. dorsad and slightly caudad to spiracle ; iv. and v. ventrad to 

 spiracle, close together, vertical to each other, but not on same plate; vi- 

 and vii. in usual positions: Meso-thoracic segment; ia. & ib.; iia. & iib.
