20 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



pale ; width, 2 mm. Body pale brown, mottled with dark brown, more 

 thickly along the longitudinal lines. A row of subdorsal brown spots, 

 smaller at the extremities. Subdorsal and lateral lines faint, narrow, 

 double, irregular. Substigmatal band broad, pinkish-brown, edged on 

 both sides with white, extending on to the feet of joint 13. Piliferous 

 spots small, black. Spiracles white, those on joints 2 and 12 large. 

 Abdominal feet nearly equally developed, the larva walking normally, no 

 longer geometriform. 



Green forvi. — Head pale green, marked the same, but less distinctly-' 

 Body grass-green, finely mottled with white, with the faint, narrow, irregu- 

 lar dorsal, double subdorsal and lateral white lines and substigmatal band 

 as above. 



Sixth stage. — Head shining pale whitish-brown; antennae and mouth 

 paler ; jaws tipped with black ; ocelli black. Down the front of the head 

 extend two broad, black bands, diverging on either side of the clypeus 

 and ending before reaching the mouth. These are connected by mot- 

 tlings with a fainter band before the eyes on each side. Behind the eye 

 are three more bands, irregular and partly connected. An obscure white 

 band runs from base of antennae to meet the substigmatal line on the 

 body. A few setas. Width, 3 mm. Body pale brown, mottled with black 

 and a little white on the dorsum, the latter mostly in narrow dorsal, sub- 

 dorsal and traces of the other lines. A subdorsal row of black diffuse 

 spots, more distinct on the middle segments. Substigmatal band pinkish, 

 edged with white. Piliferous spots small, white, those on the venter black. 



Food-plant. — Fed on bur-grass ( Cenchrus tribuloides). 



Larva from Lake Worth, Florida. 



Hadena EVELINA, French. 



Head sordid green ; ocelli black ; width, 2.5 mm. Body green, mot- 

 tled with white ; a narrow, dorsal, white line and traces of a subdorsal 

 one in segregations of the mottlings ; a distinct, but narrow stigmatal 

 white line, passing below the spiracle on joint 12 and on to the anal foot. 

 Spiracles black ringed. Piliferous dots not distinct. Later the colour is 

 pale brown, sparsely mottled with black. Head brown, reticulated with 

 dark brown. Anal plate and cervical shield dark brown, the latter edged 

 in front with black. The mottlings give the appearance of oblique seg- 

 mental shades. Piliferous dots black, narrowly surrounded by white. 



Food-plafits. — Lupine (Lupinus) and wild currant (Ribes). 



Larvae from Yosemite, California.
