Shige III. — Elliptical, rounded before, tail slightly quadrate and 

 notched ; ridges prominent, the lateral a little exceeding the sub- 

 ventral ; dorsal and lateral spaces broad, subventral small, retracted. 

 Depressed spaces (i) to (6) all distinct, whitish, (2) somewhat ob- 

 lique; (7) and (8) indicated as large, smooth hollows. Tubercles 

 moderately large, the lateral the largest, forming the ridges and bear- 

 ing long, smooth, stiff set?e, blackish at the tips ; subventral hairs (iv 

 and v) fine, white, situated on joints 5 to 13. Skin sparsely granu- 

 lar, a k\v of the granules prolonged into papillae with cleft tips. These 

 are most numerous on the lateral ridge and the ends of the body. 

 Green, not pigmented, but well colored ; a whitish subdorsal line on 

 joints 3 to 13, slightly tinting joint 3 transversely. Depressed spaces 

 (i) to (6) whitish. Later the subdorsal line becomes pale yellow 

 and distinct ; but there is no transverse line on joint 3. Length, 

 2.3 to 3.2 mm. 



Stage IV. — Tubercles somewhat less prominent, but still distinct; 

 dorsal and lateral spaces nearly flat. Elliptical, more narrowed be- 

 hind ; tail quadrate, not notched distinctly. Depressed spaces dis- 

 tinct, moderately large, the granules on the latticed ridges more 

 numerous than before, some on the lateral tubercles papillose, not so 

 elsewhere, not forming secondary spines. SetK large and black 

 tipped. Green, pigmented dorsally as before, depressed spaces 

 whitish, subdorsal line distinct, pale yellow ; a transverse pale yellow 

 line on joint 3, not touching the subdorsal lines nor quite reaching 

 the lateral edge ; a small white line along subventral edge on joints 

 5 to 13. In some larvae the transverse line is edged with salmon color 

 in front. Length, 3.2 to 4.5 mm. 



Stage V. — Elliptical, tail quadrate, a little notched at the sides ; 

 dorsum slightly arched ; tubercles still distinct with stiff, black tipped 

 setcTe. Latticed ridges with small not contiguous, clear granules 

 (Plate V, Fig 8), each somewhat roughened or crested on the vertex 

 (Plate V, Fig. 9), a few of those on the lateral tubercles slightly pro- 

 duced or papillose. Depressed spaces rounded, (i) to (6) all dis- 

 tinctly present, smooth in the bottom. Green, emerald green pig- 

 ment in dorsal and upper half of lateral spaces ; subdorsal line and 

 lateral row of yellow dots ; transverse line on joint 3 yellow, salmon 

 tinted before, joining the white subventral line below. Depressed 

 spaces white, (i) and (4) with dark green centers. During the stage 

 a broken dark green line borders the subdorsal above. Length, 4.5 

 to 6.5 mm.
