faint. On segments 5-1 1, between the dorsal tufts is an elongate black 

 spot, with its long axis lateral. On segments 3 and 13, this black spot 

 is quadrate, with long axis lengthwise. Subdorsally on segments 5-1 1, 

 a broad, black interrupted band, its sections on the posterior part of 

 joint 6 and anterior part of 7, forming a subquadrate spot ; in the 

 middle over the incisure is a white spot. An irregular, broken black 

 subdorsal line passes over segments 3-5. An irregular, broken, black 

 substigmatal line on segments 2-5, and on anterior half of segment 6. 

 On posterior half of each segment an irregular, quadrate chestnut - 

 colored, almost ferruginous spot, concolorous with abdominal feet. 

 On the anterior half a similar, more triangular rusty spot. A black 

 spot between ferruginous ones, dotted whitish. Each segment from 

 5-9, across the stigmatal line, is obliquely crossed on anterior part of 

 each joint by two heavy white lines, enclosing a black dash. On 

 posterior part of the segment from bunch of spines to incisure, is a 

 narrow white line. The lateral parts of segments 2-5, below stigmatal 

 tufts are sooty. Segments 2-6 has a substigmatal bunch of small, 

 whitish spines, thus giving each joint 8 bunches. Segments 7-10, each 

 has 6 spinose tufts or bunches. Segment 1 1 has 8 such tufts. Seg- 

 ment 12 has 7 tufts, the largest dorsally, and segment 13 has 5 tufts, 

 the central one a little below subdorsal tufts, and of same length as the 

 substigmatal tufts. Shafts all black. Lower third of each spinose tuft 

 white, upper part black. Dorsal tufts of segments 2 and 3 are the 

 longest, from 7-8 mm. Tufts of segment 13 are 7 mm. long. Stig- 

 mata light buff. Thoracic feet ferruginous and black. Abdominal 

 legs blackish-brown, the feet ferruginous, covered by fine white hair. 

 Abdominal parts brownish-red, enclosing a longitudinal whitish line. 

 Supra-anal plate shining black above, edged white below and reddish- 

 brown between white lines. Two white dashes on a line with sub- 

 dorsal tufts of segment 13. Upper part of clasper black, below ferru- 

 ginous, covered by fine white hair. 



The largest larva measured in length at rest 43 mm., and in motion 

 48 mm. Width Gj^ miii- Occiputal part of head greenish. A tri- 

 angular greenish depression on clypeus. A greenish stripe passes ob- 

 liquely across the face and nearly meets at triangle of the clypeus. 

 Mouth-parts reddish. Above maxillary a transverse whitish bar. An- 

 tennae reddish and white at base. The ground color of dorsal and 

 lateral parts is made up of alternate, narrow longitudinal stripes of 

 lavender and white, separated by black lines. On dorsum a lavender
