longer and rather more slender than the short subdorsals — all spined. 

 A row of dorsal and lateral depressions, each containing- two irregu- 

 lar whitish dots, only appearing distinctly when the body is re- 

 tracted. Skin covered with very minute, transparent granulations. 

 Spiracles very small, circular, conical, projecting. Body sordid 

 purplish, shaded with blackish, or green ; a narrow yellow dorsal 

 line. Subdorsal processes bright ferruginous or yellow, which 

 color extends broadly along subdorsal ridge, interrupted between 

 segments 6-T, 9-10, and 11-12 by a rectangular dark brown spot, 

 the one between 11 and 12 smaller than the others. Lateral pro- 

 cesses same color as the subdorsals but paler. Tenter coloi'less, the 

 thoracic feet small. Coloration of larva very variable. 



Euclea paenulata Clemens. 



I have no notes of my own on this species, and copy those of 

 Prof. G. H. French.^ "In general outline somewhat elliptical, 

 the sides and back tapering from the middle to both extremities. 

 Length .56 inch (14 mm.), width and height in the middle .25 inch 

 (6 mm.). . . . The body . . . destitute of true feet- .... a soft 

 pliable membrane covering the ventral surface. General color of 

 dorsal space dull purplish-brown, having, under the glass, a slight 

 orange tinge. A fine dorsal line and a broader one each side, which 

 alternately expands and contracts, of dull purplish-orange. On each 

 joint, except 12, is a pair of impressed spots, which appear whitish 

 when seen in certain lights. In the region of the subdorsum is an 

 orange ridge containing tubercles which are covered with spines . . . 

 of the same color as the ridge, except that between the last two 

 there is a shorter black tubercle without spines. The second and 

 third from each end of the body" [i.e., on joints 4, 5, 11, and 12] 

 "are larger than the others. A similar tubercled ridge ... in the 

 region of the stigmata. . . . Subdorsal space dull, purplish-orange, 

 bordered above and below with purplish-brown, each joint contain- 

 ing two whitish impressed spots. . . . Below the lower line of 

 tubercles, dull orange. ..." 



Euclea plugma Sepp. 



According to Sepp's figure this larva has the structure of the two 

 species just described. The subdorsal horns on joints 3 to 5 and

feet.
