THE CHRYSALIS OF EUCHLOE LANCEOLATA, BOISD. 



BY KARL R. COOLIDGE, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA. 



The preparatory stages of but \ysio of our species of Eiichloe have 

 been entirely worked out. Ge?iutia, Fab., is well known, and Prof. Shull 

 (Ent. News, March, 1907) has given us the life-history of olympia^ Edw. 

 The later stages of ausofiides have also been briefly described, and Mr. 

 E. J. Newcomer and myself have succeeded in working out its entire 

 history, as well as that of sara partially. The only reference to lanceolata 

 is by Mead,* in which he describes the mature larva, and makes a mention 

 of the pupa. Later, Beutenmiiller,f in his Revision of the genus, and 

 Holland (Butterfly Book, p. 285) have compiled short descriptions of the 

 larva, which appears to be similar to congeneric species, and with the usual 

 glandular hairs, lateral and longitudinal markings, feeding on the flowers 

 and buds, and later, the seed-pods of its food-plant. Mead's reference to 

 the pupa is so meagre that I give it verbatim : " The chrysalis is some- 

 what larger than that of A. hyantis, and the long palpi-case is bent
