228 A Classification of Lepido^jterous Larvae. 



the ocelli over the clypeus, the upper across vertices of lobes ; ocelli 

 black; some long pale setse from minute tubercles; width about 1.8 

 mm. Body thick, slightly flattened, of nearly even width, but the 

 last segments tapering. Anal feet absent, the suranal plate pro- 

 duced into a conical, rounded process as long as the plate. Tuber- 

 cles mostly small : 1 anterior, 2 posterior, 3 and 4 lateral in line [?J, 

 5 stigmatal posteriorly [= iv], and 6 substigmatal [==: v]. On 

 joints 3 and 4 there are 1 to 3 near together, 4-5 in line, 6-T in 

 line subventrally, and more on base of foot, each with a single, 

 long dark seta. On joints 3-4, tubercle 2 is red, elongate, 3 is 

 black, giving the appearance of horns when there are none. Color 

 light green, whitish ventrally. A purplish subdorsal band, the 

 dorsal space filled in with purplish from joints 5 to 13. There is 

 some variation in markings. 



Family Arctiidae. 



The tubercles are converted into large warts bearing many hairs. 

 I have frequenth^ referred to the arrangement.' 



In the subfamily Pha^gopterinas tubercle iv becomes small. 



Family Pericopidae. 

 Gnophaela vermiculata Grote and Robinson. 



From the descriptions b}^ Mr. D. Bruce^ and Mr. T. D. A. Cock- 

 erell,^ I infer that the tubercles do not differ from those of the 

 Arctiidae. These descriptions are among the very few that have 

 been of any service to me in the present investigation, and I am 

 duly grateful for them. 



Family Euchromiidae. 



The tubercles are like those of the Arctiidae, as mav be seen bv 

 referring to my descriptions in Insect Life, vol. II, pp. 360-362. 

 Many of the species have tufts of hair as in the next family. 



Family Lymantriidae. 



I have described so many of these species that I will not take up 

 space here. I refer to the pages of Psyche. I would, however,
