SATYRUS II., III. 



jellow-brown, specked with brown, and sparsely pilose ; in some examples there 

 are cloudv brown patches over upper part of face ; of the five ocelli in arc, the 

 middle one is large, emerald-green, in a black ring, the next one above is brown, 

 the upper one and the sixth, back of the arc, are black, and the other two are 

 jellow-brown. (Figs, h, 6^, c, c'^.) 



The larvae become lethargic very soon after leaving the egg, and so hiber- 

 nate. As soon as they feed in the spring, the color begins to change from 

 pink to pale green, the crimson lines to red ; in a few days the green be- 

 comes deep colored, or perhaps l)lue-green, and the stripes a darker green. 

 (Figs, d, cP.) 



After first moult: length .10 inch; cylindrical, the anterior segments thickest, 

 the back arched and sloping from 6 or 7 to 13 ; ending in two conical tails, each 

 much tuberculated, with stiff bristles, and one long bristle at the apex ; each 

 segment several times creased, and on the ridges thus caused are white tuber- 

 cular points, each giving a short, blunt, or clubbed and curved white hair ; color 

 pale green, with seven longitudinal dark green stripes, one medio-dorsal, and 

 tlu'ee on each side ; of these three, two are close together in middle, the otlier 

 is just over the basal ridge, which is pale yellow ; tails reddish ; legs and pro- 

 legs pale green ; head nearly as before, light green, with white conical tubercles 

 in vertical rows, each tubercle with short white hair. (Fig. e.) To next moult 

 fourteen to twenty-three days. . 



After second moult : length .32 inch ; shape as before ; whole upper surface 

 one shade of yellow-green, except a dark medio-dorsal stripe ; the basal ridge 

 yellow ; in some examples there is seen an indistinct green line on middle of 

 side; head as before. (Fig. /'.) To next moult fourteen to twenty-four days. 



After third moult: length .4-4 to .54 inch; color yellow-greeu ; body much 

 covered with white hairSj which are depressed, making quite a downy coat (indi- 

 viduals differed much in this respect, as the hairs were longer or shorter, some 

 being almost shaggy); the lateral line more distinct, green ; head somewhat 

 higher and narrower than ])efore; color pale yellow-green. (Fig. g.) As this 

 stage progressed, some of the larvjB underwent a change in color ; the green side 

 line became faint yellow, and the medio-dorsal band was on either edge pale 

 yellow, while the whole dorsal area was of a decided yellow tint as compared 

 with the side ; but most retained the green line, and both side and dorsum were 

 one shade of color. To next moult foiu'teen to eighteen days. 



After fourth moult : length <? .7, 9 .!• inch. This stage continued from twenty- 

 four to twenty-eight days to chrysalis. 



Mature Larv.\. — Length i 1.25 inch, greatest brendth .10; ? 1.0 inch,
