This diil'ers from all the other species of (his genus in being ])ale l)rown, 

 and is a remarkable exception to the prevalent mode of coloration in (he 

 (h'omctrlncp. It diifers from A. mimosaria in the Itlunter apex of the fore 

 wings, the broader lines, and the presence of a dark, marginal, interrupted 

 line.

 segments; four large tiiangular Haps on (he nuMlian rings, ami one on the 

 end of (he body. I'ale brown, slashed wi(h a darker tint. Pupa slender, 

 pale brown. ]''ood-plau( .liii^^/diis riii^id (described from Al)l)o(\s MS. 

 drawings). This is certainly the larva of hiiDinvar'tK ; but since the male is 

 represented l)y Aijbot as green, and scarcely distinguislialjle from A nihri- 

 fivnldiid, it may prove (o be the same larva as that described l)y ]\Ir. Scud- 

 der, and biunncarin may prove to be the female of (his or a closely-allied 

 species, though what I liave described as the females of ruhrifiontaria seem 

 to be such. Fig. 47, plate 13, represents (he male of Abl)o('s drawing. '
