mouth and two black marks on the vertex, and covered closely with 

 short hairs. The feet are light green, and are almost hidden by the over- 

 hanging folds of the body ; the claws are brown. The body is flat, 

 tapering towards the end, its colour is green, not unlike the colour of 

 the alder leaf, and the skin is studded over with minute white tubercles, 

 fourteen or fifteen to a segment, their number decreasing towards the 

 anus ; the skin at the sides has some hairs attached to it. Length, 

 from 8 — 10 lines. The cocoon is very close and compact, and is spun 

 iu the earth. 



It is very like the larva of -^ ahdominalis, but may be easily known 

 from it by the two marks on the head.
