arranged exactly as in Euclea, from which the larva is indistinguishable. 

 Color all opaquish white, no marks. Length 1.2 mm. The larva does 

 not feed in this stage. 



Stage II. — Horns rounded, large, the subdorsals on joints 3, 4, 5, 

 8, II and 12 with many black-tipped spines, those on joints 6, 7, 9 and 

 10, with one or two spines. Lateral horns moderate, rounded, spined. 

 Color all ground glass white. Skin finely granular; segmental incisures 

 cleft-like; depressed spaces not indicated. Body widest at joint 5, nar- 

 rowing a little toward the ends. Subdorsal horns on joint 13 small, ap- 

 proximate, projecting posteriorly to form a subquadrate tail. Later a 

 chocolate brown shade appears dorsally on joints 3 and 4, the highest 

 part of the body, which slopes backward from this point. Toward the 

 end of the stage the full markings of the next stage may be assumed. 

 Length 1.2 to 2.1 mm. 



Stage III — Elongate, the sides parallel, joints 3 and 4 a little the 

 highest; subdorsal horns elongate rounded, those on joints 3, 4, 11 and 

 I 2 large, 8 moderate, the rest with but one or two spines; lateral horns 

 very small with five or six spines, those on joints 3 and 4 the largest. 

 Color honey yellow, a white line along subdorsal ridge, the pair con- 

 nected by a narrow angular bridge on joints 5 and 11; dorsum on joints 

 3, 5 and II chocolate brown; a brown line along the lateral horns. De- 

 pressed spaces (i) and (2) indicated, faint, also the large lateral ones 

 (4). Skin nearly smooth, finely remotely granular or punctate. The 

 tail horns are partly fused into a short, cleft, spiny process; spines black 

 tipped; head pale brown, eye black. Length of larva 2.1 to 3 mm. 



Stage IV. — As before, the dorsum rather broad. Long horns large, 

 rounded, whitish, with brown tips, short spined, the one on joints 8 and 

 13 white. Short subdorsal horns and the lateral ones of joints 6 to 12 

 small, inconspicuous, concolorous; a short notched tail. Body all 

 brown, except a space in the dorsum on joints 6 to 10, which is green- 

 ish ; a narrow white subdorsal line with white bridges as before, but on 

 joints 5, II and 12; a white line along the subventral edge; a faint 

 darker line along the lateral horns. Largest depressed spaces moderate ; 

 skin as before. Length, 2.9 to 4.5 mm. 



Stage V. — Dorsum of joints 3, 5, 11 and 13, lower half of sides and 

 tips of subdorsal horns on joints 3 to 5 dark brown ; the rest of the body 

 flesh 3^ brown ; dorsal vessel greenish ; a fleshy pink tint along the sub- 

 dorsal ridge with a narrow bridge on joints 5,11 and 12 ; a pink line 

 along subventral edge. Bases of subdorsal horns on joints 3 to 5, all of 

 horns 8, 11 and 12 and the short, approximate tail-like pair fleshy pink;
