220 A Classification of Lepidopterous Larvae. 



base, its spiracle a little lower than the others). The other tuber- 

 cles are pale green with white spines, the last one being on joint 13, 

 longer than the others, and placed at the end of the subdorsal ridge. 

 Along this ridge is a row of similar, but much smaller processes, 

 projecting laterally and situated on joint 3 posteriorly, 4 posteriorly, 

 none on 5, one on joints to 12 inclusive centrally, color green or 

 yellowish, the spines pale. The process on joint 13 really forms 

 part of both the subdorsal and stigmatal rows.^ The body seg- 

 ments, especially laterally, are a little elevated on their anterior 

 edge, and contain a double dorsal and two lateral rows of small, 

 whitish, impressed spots. General color light green; on the lateral 

 area this color obtains only on the elevated portions, as seen by a 

 lens. A distinct yellow line along the subdorsal ridge connected by 

 a yellow spot on 9 anteriorly, which contains a red dot. In another 

 larva two red dots on joints 9 and 11. Laterally, the elevated por- 

 tions of the segment surround the spiracle and send off a ridge to 

 the posterior edge centrally. In the two spaces thus formed are 

 two elevations, depressed centrally, the upper slightly kidney shaped, 

 the lower circular. A double dorsal row of impressed spots. Tho- 

 racic feet blackish, venter colorless. 



Tortricidia pallida Herrich-Schaffer. 



This larva is entirely smooth, but has retained a bright red dorsal 

 patch, which now does duty to give to the larva a deceptive resem- 

 blance to a red patch on a leaf. 



Head retracted beneath joint 2, 2 beneath 3 ; greenish testaceous, 

 mouth brown, ocelli black. Body elliptical, the sides sloping from 

 a slight subdorsal ridge, contracted between joints 12 and 13, giving 

 the last segment a square appearance. Color bright green, the dor- 

 sum largely covered by a patch of salmon color or purple-brown, 

 bordered by a crimson line and a yellow shade. It begins some- 

 what broadly above the head on joint 3, narrows at once to a dorsal 

 band on joints 4 and 5, widens twice, the second time passing down 

 to the subventral edge of the body at joint 8, then narrows twice 

 and tapers to a point at the anal extremity. The body is covered, 

 very minutely, with transparent granulations. The usual elliptical 

 depressions are hardly distinct, smooth, whitish in the dorsal patch, 

 and containing a dorsal and lateral row of blackish spots. Length 

 9 mm. 



1 There are thus three less tubercles in Sisyrosea than in Phobetron : viz., 

 the third one on joints 3 and 4, and the subdorsal one on joints 5 of Phobe- 

 tron, are wanting in Sisyrosea.
