Pupa in the ground, dark biown with lighter markings. 



Food-plant. — Wild wat plant. 



Cycnia insulata Walk {cadavarosa Grt.). Larva black and 

 hairy, two rows of white spots along the back and one dorsal row. 

 As the caterpillar grows the white spots become much smaller, look- 

 ing like thin lines. The ist, 3d, 7th and 9th segments are a dull red, 

 the sides of the 4th are also red, but the color does not extend over 

 the back. On the first and last segments are long white hairs among 

 the fine black ones. Length a little over one inch. The larvae gen- 

 erally rest on the under side of the leaf and are very fast walkers. 



Cocoon composed of hair ; pupa dark brown. 



Food-plaut. — Jack-in-the-buck. 



Callopistria floridensis Guen. Larva velvety dark brown with 

 a subdorsal line of pale cream color ; head reddish brown. When 

 young, soft green with a white line along the sides. Length a little 

 over an inch. 



Cocoon among leaves ; pupa brown. 



Food -plant. — Fern. 



Fruva apicella Gfote. A small brown semi-looper. As it grows 

 fine lines of pale yellow appear all over it ; the line above the legs is 

 broader and contains bright orange spots. Head black and white ; 

 thoracic feet black. There are two black bands across the middle of 

 the back, seen plainest when the larva is walking. 



Pupa enclosed in a leaf, brown. 



Foodplant. — Broom weed, yellow flower. 



Remigia latipes Guen. A very dark brown semi-looper with 

 light marks down the face, two velvety black bands on the second and 

 fourth segments respectively, only appearing when the body is bent. 

 Length nearly two inches. The larva has a curious habit of folding 

 itself up when disturbed. 



Pupa brown folded in grass. 



Food-plant. — Grass. 



Gonitis editrix Guen. A semi-looper ; when young pale green, 

 when older a much darker green with a band of white down the sides, 

 with almost black marks and tiny white spots with black dots in the 

 center (probably the tubercles. H. G. D.). Length a little over an 

 inch. When full grown turns to a dull apple green, the black mark- 

 ing much lighter.
