104 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Green Variety. — The head is round and marked on either side by a 

 dark brown Hne running from the insertion of the palpi to the vertex, and 

 continuing along the dorsal aspect of each segment, gradually diverging 

 until the fourth segment, then continuing parallel until they suddenly 

 converge at the base of the caudal horn. These dark lines are bordered 

 externally by light yellow, shading off into the darker green of the sides 

 and ventral surface of the larva. The space upon the back of the larva 

 enclosed by these Hues is delicately sprinkled with dark brown and light 

 yellow spots, the ground color being apple-green, save in the three anterior 

 segments. These segments are of a light olive green between the lines, 

 and are ornamented by a median line of dark brown or black, running 

 from the vertex of the head to the third segment, where it is lost in a 

 large circular black spot, margined externally by bright yellow, outside of 

 which on either side is a shade of deep reddish brown, of a lunular form. 

 The sides of the larva are faintly mottled in the same manner as the back 

 and are further ornamented by small white blotches, disposed one upon 

 each segment just posterior to its junction with the preceding segment, 

 and on a line with the spiracles. 



The legs are yellow, annulated with black, the prolegs are black, bor- 

 dered at their juncture with the segments with yellow, and having the 

 circlet also yellow. The caudal horn is very short and blunt, and distinctly 

 four angled. In one specimen it is almost obsolete. 



Brown Variety. — The brown variety does not differ from the green 

 save in color, and the consequent obscuration of the dark lines and mark- 

 ings, which appear less distinct upon the darker ground, and the height- 

 ening of the effect of the light spots which come out into bold relief upon 

 the darker surface. 



The mature larva is from three to three and a half inches in length and 

 about one-half of an inch in diameter. 



The larva pupates near the surface under fallen leaves. The pupa is 

 dark brown. The imago emerges in from fourteen to fifteen days. 



, The insect is very common in Eastern Florida. I have specimens also 

 from the Antilles, Central America, Trinidad, and Brazil. 



Everyx Versicolor, Harris. 



The larva of this beautiful moth is found in Western Pennsylvania 

 upon the wild Hydrangea, Hydrangea arborescens, which abounds in the 

 deep ravines near streams of running water. The larvre are either green
