SATYRINAE: CISSIA EURYTUS. 217 



ous on cutting edge ; antennae and spinneret pale. Body dull and pallid greenish 

 yellow, heavily besprinkled with Iiigh, conical, pallid tubercles, each bearing a short, 

 brown hair. There is a broad, blackish brown dorsal stripe, narrowest on thoracic 

 joints, a similar stigniatal stripe, but discontinuous, being made up entirely of dis- 

 connected dots, and so far less conspicuous; a very faint, pale ferruginous, lateral 

 stripe, deepening at the extremity of each segment into a distinct spot, becoming 

 blackish brown on the middle segments; and a much bi'oken, suprastigmatal, blackish 

 brown stripe, continuous only on the thoracic segments, and there but partially, 

 and beyond conspicuous only by a short bar on the front of the segments in which the 

 lateral dots are distinct. Caudal horns a little larger than the last segment, and like 

 it pallid externally, infuscated within, and besprinkled with pallid tubercles. Under 

 surface of body next the stigmatal fold besprinkled with blackish dots. Legs of 

 body color, the claw tip infuscated; prolegs very pale, pinkish apically. Spiracles 

 black, centrally encircled with pale and this Avith a narrow fuscous ring fading out 

 below. Length soon after moult, n.5 mm.; width of head, L8 mm.; of body, 1.6 

 mm. ; length, when nearly ready to change, 16 mm. ; breadth of body, 2.5 mm. 



Last stage (7^ : 3, 6, 10). Head (78: 29) sordid white, heavily mottled with dark brown 

 in irregularly margined transverse bands and blotches, which are everywhere inter- 

 rupted by dots of the basal color ; these dark parts are especially noticeable as bauds 

 in a transverse line uniting the summits of the two hemispheres, in a broad band sub- 

 parallel to and but little distant from the facial triangle, and in a large, triangular 

 spot occupying the upper part of this triangle ; besides these the other blotches form 

 vague longitudinal bauds ci'ossing the cheeks ; but in some specimens the whole front 

 of the head is almost uniformly fuscous but dotted with sordid white. In particular 

 in all cases the numerous papillae are pallid and give rise to delicate black hairs, 

 several times their own length; ocelli ruby-black, piceous at ground; mandibles pale 

 testaceous at base, rapidly changing through testaceous to black apically; anten- 

 nae and other mouth parts testaceous. Body pallid brown Avith a slight greenish 

 tinge, completely studded Avith minute, pallid, conical tubercles, infuscated at the tip 

 and bearing reddish testaceous acicular spines nearly as long as themselves. The 

 markings of the body are : first, a median, blackish stripe, fainter and nearly reduced to 

 its edges on the thoracic segments, deepening to almost inky blackness (Avhen most 

 intense) on the hinder abdominal segments, and throughout intensified at the extremity 

 of the segments; second, a suprastigmatal series of large, roundish, fuscous spots of 

 greater or less depth of color just in front of the middle of each segment, tending to 

 become oblique patches, Avhose hinder edge passes just over the spiracles; third, a uar- 

 roAv, pale, sinuous lateral stripe on the abdominal segments, consisting of a single arch 

 to each segment, margined beloAV and above with dark olivaceous broAvn, broadest and 

 more uniform but only conspicuous on the posterior half of each segment below, 

 almost entirely reduced to a still deeper spot at the posterior extremity of each segment 

 above ; the whole faintly traceable on the thoracic segments ; fourth, of a fuscous edging 

 of the substigmatal fold; fifth, a narrow fuscous ventral stripe, most distinct on the 

 apodous segments ; and sixth, a fuscous latero ventral spot near the anterior edge of all 

 the segments. Caudal horns almost wholly sordid white, infuscated along the median 

 line above. Legs pale greenish ; claws testaceous ; prolegs color of body ; circlet of 

 hooks roseate testaceous ; spiracles black encircled Avith pallid. In some specimens, 

 the markings and especially all but the dorsal stripe are very much subdued, and the 

 greenish tone of the whole is then more distinct; but in all, the thoracic segments are 

 more or less griseous and with small sign of the markings. Length, 21 mm. ; breadth 

 of head, 2.6 mm. ; of neck, 1.5 mm. ; of third abdominal segment, 3.75 mm. ; length of 

 caudal horns, .8 mm. 



Chrysalis (83: 28). Browni-sh pallid, heaA'ily flecked with griseous, especially on 

 the apical half of the abdomen, the head, and the visible parts of the hind wings; 

 more than usually pallid on the first three (dorsal) abdominal segments ; all the carinae, 

 of head, Avings, mesothorax and abdomen, A\'hite ; wing-veins pallid ; cremaster griseous 

 on the sides, castaneous at tip, the hooks castaneous; spiracles lu tec-fuscous, with
