354 Notes on Lepidopterous LarvcB. [zoe 



anterior portions. Antennae three-jointed, first two joints cylindri- 

 cal and of same length, basal joint about twice the diameter of 

 second, third joint very small and short, second joint with a 

 terminal bristle and an additional short one arising beside the 

 third joint. Mandibles strong, faintly notched on apical edge, 

 showing three distinct teeth. Maxillary palpi four-jointed, basal 

 joint short and stout, second joint about same diameter but three 

 times as long; third joint nearly as long as second, about one-half 

 the diameter of latter, cylindrical; third joint minute. Labial 

 palpi two-jointed, slender and elongate, basal joint tubercle-like 

 and short; second joint elongate, not as thick, subcylindrical. 

 Spinneret elongate and tapering to a point, longer than labial 

 palpi. Pfothoracic and metathoracic segments about equal in 

 width, a little narrower than the mesothoracic Abdominal 

 segments a little narrower still, and about equal in width from 

 segments 5 to ii; 12 and 13 gradually and successively narrowed, 

 13 with a transverse dorsal crease midway making it appear as 

 2 segments. Segments 2 to 4 (thoracic) about equal in length; 

 5 and 6 much shorter, nearly equal; 7 to 11 longer than thoracic, 

 about equal, or 9 and 10 somewhat the longest; 12 and 13 shorter 

 and nearly equal in length. A few hairs on dorsum of prothoracic 

 segment, and on anal segment, verj' few on other segments. 



Described from three specimens. 



In the same stalk with the above there was also found a live 

 lepidopterous pupa, which can hardlv belong to the same species 

 as the larvae since it is so much smaller in size. It may be briefly 

 described as follows: 



Pupa. — Length, 16 mm.; width on thorax, 4/4 mm. Elongate, 

 pale flavous brownish in color; terminated anteriorly with a 

 stout and short process, which ends in a point on a level with 

 the ventral surface. Eyes at inferior base of this process. 

 Antennal, leg, and wing sheaths reaching to fifth abdominal 

 segment; antennal sheaths consisting of many short joints, 

 gradually growing slightly longer and narrower toward end of 

 sheath. Dorsal portion of each abdominal segment with an 

 anterior transverse row of short, stout, sharp-pointed spines, 

 their tips brown; and a posterior row of much smaller, more 

 closely approximated and even spines. Anal segment is appar-
