20 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CALIFORNIA 



Fam. NYMPHALID^]. 



Limenilis eulalia. Bdv. = CaJifornica. Butler. 



Larva. General color, pale greenish or fawn color, becoming entirely of 

 the latter tint when about to undergo its change. Body covered with small 

 whitish spines. Head rather large, edged on its margins with a row of 

 slightly branched whitish spines, each tipped with black; 2d segment con- 

 stricted, without spines; 3d, 4th, 6th, 11th and 12th, each with a pair of long 

 and branched spines, tipped with black; 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, with shorter 

 pair of similar spines. Below the spiracles, which are fawn color, is a darker 

 line. Feet and legs concolorous. 



Length, 1.20 inches. 



Food plant, Quercus Douglassii, Quercus Souomensis. 



Chrysalis. The specimens from which my first description was taken 

 (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sc, Vol. V, Part II) differed from the present one, in that 

 the latter had a most beautiful pale golden blotch over the whole region 

 of the wing cases. This chrysalis was semi-transparent, ash gray or drab, 

 and was attached to the tinder side of the oak leaf by strong silken threads; 

 the whole of the surface of the leaf being covered by the web. 



Changed to chrysalis, August 20th. Imago, September 3d. 



Fam. LYC^NIDJE. 



Lyca?na antcegon. Bdv. 



Larva. Head small; dark brown. Body dirty yellow, covered with very 

 short downy hairs; a few black spots irregularly scattered, and a narrow 

 greenish dorsal stripe. Spiracles, small; dark brown. 



Length, 0.50 inch. 



I am indebted to Dr. Behr for an opportunity of observing the larva; 

 specimens having been found by Mr. Graham, one of Dr. Behr's students, 

 feeding in the pods of Astragulus. 



Fam. SPHINGID^. 



Deilephila daucus. Cr am. = Lineal a. Fab. 



Larva. Mature. General color pale apple green. Head and 2d segment 

 with more olivaceous tint, thickly dotted with greenish white warty spots. 

 Mouth parts, dull yellowish. There is a bright green dorsal line, varying 

 much in width in different individuals; sometimes merely a line, at others 

 occupying nearly the whole dorsal surface. This is uneven at its edges, 

 which merge into black subdorsal lines, enclosing a bright yellow streak. 

 Both the black and yellow lines are widest anteriorly, the latter in some 

 specimens becoming an orange patch. Posteriorly on the black lines are 

 some small yellow dots. Caudal horn dull yellow, rough, black at the tip. 

 Anal segment similar to the head. Spiracles orange, surrounded by a black 

 patch, in which are some small yellow dots. Above the feet, which with the 

 legs, are dull yellow, are some waved black lines, occasionally obsolete. 



Variety. After the fourth moult, the caterpillar sometimes, but only rarely,
