and project a little from the line. Before thèse spots, are the black 

 spiracles, sometinies placed in a black shading as in pomonaria, 

 but always outlined with yellovv. 



The collar is yeilow, interrupted with black markings, which 

 are not so extensive as those in pomonaria. The anal plate is 

 grey m colour, black marked; as is usual it is paler edged and on 

 this edging, are the four small tubercles with their bristles. In 

 shape, it is somewhat rounded as in zonaria. The two larger spots 

 bearing seta, so prominent in pomonaria, are barely seen. In 

 front of it, appear the two yeilow spots derived from pomonaria. 

 The two larger warts are présent on the eighth abdominal seg- 

 ment, modified in a very curious way. The conical portion is 

 whitish with a black ring at the base and at the top is a black 

 point bearing a haïr. 



The two ventral stripes resemble those of zonaria and are 

 provided with a weakened edging; they end at the legs and 

 prolegs. The yeilow stripe, which occurs between thèse stripes 

 and the spiracular line in pomonaria, is feebly shown ; the 

 black blotches however are represented even in the lightest 

 examples. A few yeilow freckles are to be found just beneath 

 thèse. 



The anal prolegs spread somewhat, but not to the extent visible 

 in pomonaria. They are grey with heavy black spotting and so 

 are the other prolegs, but they tend to be yellowish before and 

 behind and so does the ground between them. Between the pro- 

 legs and the spiracular line, the larva is covered with a confused 

 mass of yeilow and black spots. 



The true legs are pale in colour, but the claws and joints are 

 black. The base is blackish and is provided with a yeilow line. 

 The space between is whitish — not yeilow as in pomonaria — 

 although it is marked with similar brown spots. 



Variation of larvœ. 



The variation of this larva is not complicated by the excessive 

 variability of Inrtaria, so there is only left to discuss the variation
