214 A Classification of Lepidopterous Larvee. 



Length of larva 11 mm. ; width 4 mm. Thoracic feet very small, 

 pointed, green, tipped with brown. Abdominal feet absent, the 

 whole ventral region flexible and sticky. 



Euclea indetermina Boisduval. 



Head below joint 2, 2 below 3; thoracic feet small, pale; abdo- 

 minal none, venter soft and sticky, clear honey-brown. Dorsum 

 and sides flattened with subdorsal and stigmata! series of segmen- 

 tary horn-like processes, covered thickly with urticating spines. 

 Subdorsal horns on joints 3 to 13, those on 4, 5, 8, 11, and 12 very 

 long, the ones on 3 and 13 moderate, the rest very short, subspheri- 

 cal. Stigmatal row on 3, 4, 6 to 12, short, except the one on 4 

 which is twice as long as the others. Spiracles round, the one on 

 joint 5 in line with the horns, those on 6 to 12 much below them, 

 the one on 2 usually concealed as the segment is retracted. Head 

 pale, blotched with red on its lower part ; ocelli and mouth dark. 

 Joint 2 granular, honey-brown. Body (A) lemon-yellow or (B) 

 straw color, the tubercles (A) yellow, tinged with orange on 3, 6, 7, 

 9 and 10, or (B) vermillion-red with a red band along the subdorsal 

 line, laterally, along the superstigmatal horns, and along subventral 

 edge. Four narrow, dark purple lines in dorsal space, on a bluish- 

 white ground, the two central ones parallel, the outer undulating 

 to correspond with the locations of the larger horns. Four similar 

 lines in lateral space separated into two pairs by a (A) yellow or 

 (B) Vermillion band, only slightly undulating. A similar single 

 pair of lines enclosing the spiracles, the one below them the most 

 distinct and separated from the stick}^ venter by a (A) yellow or 

 (B) Vermillion band. On 13, close behind the superstigmatal horn 

 on 12, is a depressed pale area with purple border. Anterior edge 

 of 3 purplish. Size 18 X 1 mm. Horns on joint 8, 2.5 to 4 mm. in 

 different larvae. 



Euclea delphinii Boisduval. 



Elliptical ; dorsal region flat, nearly level, and of uniform width, 

 rounded at the extremities ; sides nearly perpendicular. Head 

 whitish, labrum and sutures of clypeus yellowish, eyes black. Head 

 retracted under joint 2. Along subdorsal ridge a row of elongate 

 processes on joints 3 to 13, covered with short black spines from 

 conical bases. The horns on 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 13 are about three 

 times as long as the others. A similar superstigmatal row ; on 

 joints 3 and 4 lateral, none on 5, on 6 to 12 superstigmatal, that on 

 4 about as long as the subdorsal one, the others of uniform length,
