Kll'LOKINAK: AXOSIA ri.KXll'PL'S. 725 



but they may liavc been a tliinl pair of (ilanu'iits beloii<iiiiy; to tlio second atxlomiiial 

 segment. Tliey were .(!;") mm. long and .02 mm. in diameter, exceedingly slender, rather 

 short, ei|nal. apparently smooth, excepting at the tip, where they appeared to be 

 knol)bed, and at the base, where they showed signs of having been torn from some 

 object. It is a point of some interest, since tlexlble filaments are fonnd on this 

 segment in the fnll grown larva of Euploea and also in that of the neigliboring genus 

 Tasitia, of which we have a common species, T. berenice. in the south. Unfortunately 

 I have forgotten to verify the point when I have since had the opportunity of seeing 

 the caterpillars alive. 



Tliit'd sta(/e ( 78 : ;^). The anterior lilaments have bcco)ne 1. 5 mm. long, are wholly 

 black, nearly cylindrical, scarcely tapering at all, broad at tip and bluntly pointed, 

 measuring here .2 mm. in diameter, throughout rough with minute but coarse curved 

 serrations pointing toAvard the apex and divided by circlets of short spines .05 mm. 

 long, into apparent joints, averaging .s mm. in length; the hinder pair, which are .8 

 mm. long, are similarly formed: on the first abdouiinal segment is a pair of latero- 

 dorsal black spots. 



Fourth stage. Head (78: 4) as before. Body bright yellow; on each segment a 

 very broad, central, whitish, transverse band, extending over the whole dorsal and 

 lateral region, edged on either side with blackish fuscous; in the middle of each of 

 these a distinct, transverse, i)urplish black line, which passes through the posterior 

 two-thirds of the spiracles, and reaches the anterior base of the prolegs, on the segments 

 where they occur ; tlie last abdominal segment is tipped apically with black, and is 

 nearly destitute of a whitish band; anterior filaments blackish purple, paler poste- 

 riorly, directed upAvard, forward, and outward, and curved a little forward; posterior 

 pair similarly directed, l)ut backward instead of foi'ward, and straight; spiracles 

 black, broadly annulated with blackish fuscous; prolegs white at base, black poste- 

 riorly and apically. Length, 24 mm. ; breadth of body, 5 mm. ; length of anterior fila- 

 ments, r» mm. ; length of posterior filaments, 2. 2,5 mm. 



Last stage (74: o). Head (78: .5: 86: 37 ). lemon or greenish yellow, broadly and 

 conspicuously banded with shining black ; following either side of the suture of the 

 triangle and the division between it and the labrum. is a broad black A- the sides a 

 very little bowed ; the liead is broadly bordered behind with black, and midwaj^ be- 

 tween this border and the deltoid spot, is another band, equally broad, passing down 

 each side of the head and terminating just behind the antennae ; the yellowish parts 

 of the head are faintly spotted with pellucid, the spots made up of aggregated pale 

 dots; hairs blackish; basal joint of antennae white, encircled at base with black; 

 other joints black, the last tipped with Avhite. Ocelli black, all but the posterior one 

 seated in the middle black band. Labrum yellowish; mandibles black; maxillary 

 palpi yelloAvish, the tips of the joints annulated with black. 



Each segment of the body is bordered both anteriorly and posteriorly with lemon 

 yellow, forming at the junction of two segments a broad, transverse band, sometimes 

 obscured in the middle by a line of blackish fuscous on the posterior edge of the first 

 of the two segments; this band is bordered Avith black, in front narroAvly, behind, also 

 narroAvly on the thoi'acic, but broadly on the abdominal segments. The baud formed 

 by the latter bordering, that is the black band on the anterior portion of the segment, 

 is wanting on the sides of the thoracic segments, and forked on the first to the seventh 

 abdominal segments; the anterior branch of the foi'k is nearly continuous with, but a 

 little anterior to, the main band — parted from it on the first and second abdominal 

 segments — broadening beneath into a blackish fuscous, broad belt, and passing just 

 behind the prolegs on the segments bearing them ; the posterior branch is short, atten- 

 uated, and directed toAvard the anterior base of the succeeding proleg, terminating at 

 the stiginatal line. The remainder of the segment is white, traversed across the middle 

 by a broad, equal, transverse, black band, Avhich passes doAvu the anterior edge of the 

 legs and prolegs on the segments Avhich bear them, including the spiracles in its pos- 

 terior half, as well as the fleshy filaments. The posterior edging of the second thora- 

 cic segment is broadened on the dorsum. The last abdominal segment is wholly yellow
