indicate only a greater number of moults. If it is not the same, it is a 

 very closely allied species. Colour is green, with two lateral longitudinal 

 narrow whitish stripes, one marking the lateral edge of dorsum on each 

 side and enclosing the spiracles, and in addition a median dorsal pair of 

 similar stripes. Head is lighter than dorsum, approaching more nearly 

 the colour of the stripes ; venter light. The same microscopic black 

 epidermal specks or spines are present, and the same naked areoles with 

 dot-like tubercles in the centre, but the portion of the integument covered 

 by the dorsal stripes has lost both apparently. These are shown, how- 

 ever, to be lost only in colour, the microscopic spines being apparent in 

 the stripes where the integument is transversely folded, but they are con- 

 colorous instead of black. Their colour is also nearly lost on anal 

 segment. Dot-like hair tubercles of head brown. 



One specimen, swept Oct. 24, 1892. General colour noted in life. 

 (No. 365.) 



(g). — Very slender and elongated brownish Span-Worm. 



Length, 9 mm. Two pairs of proportionally large prolegs, on seg- 

 ments 12 and 13. Colour brownish, with a somewhat lighter ventral line, 

 and a pale lateral stripe or line on each side. Head, prothoracic seg- 

 ment and anal extremity light. Abdominal segments very elongated, 

 almost bare, with some sparse minute tubercles giving rise to hairs. The 

 main abdominal segments are more noticeable for being divided by 

 minute transverse constrictions or wrinkles extending completely around 

 the body into something like thirty or more transverse sections to the 

 segment. 



One specimen, swept May 28, 189 1. Colour from alcoholic speci- 

 men. (No. 229.) 



(h). — Pale coloured false Span-Worm. 



Length, 4 mm. Three pairs of prolegs, on segments 9, 10 and 13. 

 Light or pale coloured, with small brownish warts and hairs. Somewhat 

 elongate, and rather slender. Segments not elongate. Head nearly con- 

 colorous, slightly more yellowish and polished. About twelve small, 

 flattened-conical tubercles to each abdominal segment, each tubercle 

 bearing a hair, and some smaller ones on ventral surface below. 

 Tubercles in an irregular transverse row. Except the tubercles, the inte- 

 gument is apparently naked under the lens. 



One specimen, swept May 28, 189 1. Colour noted in life. (No. 230.)
