226 A Classification of Leindojiterous Larvse. 



A larf^e black leg-sbield. Tubercles vii and viii appear ventrally on 

 the legless segments. 



Acronycta sp. 



An undetermined larva occurred to me at Woods Holl, Mass. 

 The tubercles are represented by large hairy warts arranged as 

 above, except that iv, posterior to the spiracle, is much smaller than 

 the others. 



Family Agaristidee. 

 Alypia octomaculata Fabricius. 



Body enlarged at joint 12 (8th abdominal segment) with low 

 conical tubei'cles, smooth, not shining nor granular, each bearing a 

 single pale hair, and arranged perfectly normally ; iv rather small, 

 behind and a little below the spiracle. No other hairs. 



Family Lithosiidae. 

 Sarrothripa revayana Scopoli. 



No warts nor tubercles perceptible, but the single hairs are 

 arranged in the same manner as the warts of the Arctiidas ; row iv 

 is just below the stigmatal line, the hairs each a little back of a 

 spiracle ; v anteriorly .... in the subventral space (Psyche, vol. 

 VI, p. 260). 



Tyria jacobaeae Linnaeus. 



A prepared specimen at the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory. Tubercle i anterior, ii posterior, iii lateral, iv stigmatal (pos- 

 terior) small, V subventral, vi subventral posteriorly with two hairs, 

 vii with four hairs, viii with one hair. 



Nola minuscula Zeller. 



First wart (ii) ver}' large, oblong as if of two coalesced, second 

 lateral (iii), third subventral (v), also large, and fourth (vi) very 

 small, also subventral. Warts bearing spreading, long, thin hairs 

 (see Psyche, vol. VI, p. 248). 



Family Notodontidae. 



Heterocampa manteo Doubleday. 



Single set£e, arising normally. Tubercle iv is behind and below 

 the spiracle.
