THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 255 



" Length, i^s inches when extended feeding. Head, 2 mm. broad; 

 narrower than segment 2. Segment 3 slightly the widest of all. Body 

 cylindrical from 4 to 10 inclusive, then tapering .slightly to end. Head 

 concolorous with body, evenly reticulated all over with dark green, the 

 interspaces yellowish and pubescent, the bristles on apex short and black, 

 those toward the mouth much longer and white. Mandibles darkened at 

 apex, process beneath the neck honey-coloured. Ocelli six, in two lines, the 

 anterior of 4 slightly curved forward and lying on a yellowish-white stripe, 

 the other two lying behind these, one above the other, smaller than 

 those of the anterior row. In the anterior row the 2nd and 3rd are the 

 largest, all blackened at base, vitreous at apex. No. i of posterior series 

 is the smallest and least conspicuous." 



On ist June one fixed for pupation, and the other on 2nd. Pupation 

 occurred on 3rd June. 



Chrysalis very similar to that of Philodice. Green, vermiculate 

 with yellowish-white markings over upper part of thorax and all the 

 abdomen, giving a pea green effect. A green dorsal line extends the 

 whole length. When first formed, there is a spiracular band, similar to 

 that of the larva, running from the wing-case to the tail, but the crimson 

 soon disappears, and the band becomes yellowish and inconspicuous. 

 Half way between the band and the ventral surface there is a broken 

 reddish-brown stripe on the firsl: three abdominal segments, beyond the 

 wing-covers. The head is marked with darker green, yellowish-white at 

 apex. The girdle is rather long, and the chrysalis hangs loose from its 

 support. Length of chrysalis, 18.7 mm.; greatest thickness, 6 mm. 



On 1 2th June the antennae cases were crimson, tipped with yellowish- 

 green, and the outer and apical margins of the wing-covers were the 

 same. All the parts between the antenna? cases were brownish-green, the 

 eyes deep g^een, the ventral half of the abdomen yellowish, the wings 

 greenish-yellow. While I was describing it, it bent itself from side to 

 side, bending the abdominal joints as much as possible. 



Both pupae disclosed the imago on afternoon of 13th ; the chrysalis 

 stage being thus ten days. Both were males. I had intended sending 

 away one larva to have a coloured drawing made of it when mature, and 

 of the chrysalis when formed, but my ones matured so fast that I was 

 too late for this, so appealed to Mr. Fletcher to send his one specimen, 

 which had lagged a little behind mine in development. He very kindly 

 acquiesced, but, unfortunately, the larva pupated in the mail, with fatal
