PAPILIONINAE : JASONIADES GLAUCUS. 1293 



especially the thoracic segments, gnulually changin}; to a purer green color, and 

 losing the olivaceous tints, excepting a slight amount on the dorsum of fie second and 

 third abdominal segments; the dorsum in general has t)ecome deeper green tlian the 

 rest of the body, the sides being scarcely darker than the under surface; there is a 

 delicate, pale, stigmatal line, and in place of the pale markings of the third to fifth 

 abdominal segments there is a pale yellowish or straw-colored V-shaped spot, its end 

 thickened, directed forward and connected with the yellow, fuscous-tipped tubercles 

 of the ninth segment by an interrupted, faint yellowish line; ou each side of the third 

 thoracic segment is a small, lateral, pale yellowish spot, including below a luteous 

 wart; above, a short, longitudinal, velvety black streak; and in the middle a circular 

 black-rimnu'd, turquoise spot; the posterior edge of the dorsum of the first abdominal 

 segment is yellowish. 



Last stage (76:15, 26). Head (80:10) delicate ferruginous, mottled below, and 

 especially at the sides, with pale; lower part of triangle pale; antennae pale ; tip of 

 third joint fuscous; ocelli black in a black field ; labrumpale; mouth parts pale, the tip 

 of tlie mandible reddish. 



Body nearly uniform rich, deep green, paler below the spiracles, specked throughout 

 with indistinct, pale dots, which on the sides sometimes become coufiuent and form 

 faint, linear, irregular streaks, having a general direction from below backward and 

 upward; faint streaks also radiate from the spir.acles ; a narrow, yellow stripe, bor- 

 dering the osraaterial fold, sometimes extends backward, forming a stigmatal line 

 across the thoracic segments; third thoracic segment with rather a large, lateral, sub- 

 quadrate, greenish yellow spot, delicately but distinctly edged with black and having 

 within it above a black streak, and centrally a small turquoise spot broadly annulated 

 with black; upper surface of the first abdominal segment edged posteriorly with yel- 

 low, and the second anteriorly with black; fourth abdominal segment with a lateral, 

 anterior, broadly oval, oblique, salmon colored spot, sometimes obsolete, extending 

 slightly ou the succeeding segment; the papilliforra warts of the eighth abdominal 

 segment and the superior portion of the transverse fold on which they are seated, 

 lemon yellow, sometimes green ; the first, second, fifth to seventh abdominal segments 

 with a laterodorsal and lateral row of small, circular, dark turquoise or pure blue 

 spots, those of the posterior segments faintly rimmed with fuscous ; the lateral spots 

 of the third thoracic segment are in the yellowish spot already described, and the lat- 

 erodorsal ones are just above; third to eighth abdominal segments with an iufrastig- 

 matal row of pale turquoise spots, smaller than the othei-s, centrally placed; under 

 surface of the body pale green. Body very sparsely covered with very delicate, short 

 hairs; osmaterium dark orange; spiracles luteous. Legs pale green, claws fuscous. 

 Prolegs pale green. 



After the evacuation preceding pupation the larva becomes of a dull, dirty, velvety 

 green on the thoracic and first abdominal segments; posteriorly it is grizzly green, 

 laterally streaked with fuscous. Length, 50 mm. ; greatest breadth, 10 mm. ; breadth 

 behind, 4.5 mm. ; breadth of head, 4 mm. 



Chrysalis (85:1-4). Yellowish griseous, with a faint, dull olivaceous tinge; dor- 

 sum of the fourth to sixth abdominal segments a little more infuscated than the rest; 

 in some specimens the lower portion of the sides of the dorsal surface is more dis- 

 tinctly yellowish and brighter than elsewhere; ocellar prominences, excepting in front, 

 blackish fuscous ; wings dotted and finely streaked with l)lackish at the outer borders 

 and in the middle a few parallel, short, narrow, longitudinal, blackish streaks; tongue 

 and parts of the legs adjacent to it, dusky ; mesonotal tubercle tipped with blackish ; a 

 broad, irregular, blackish fuscous band, deepest in tint on the prothorax and the sec- 

 ond to fourth abdominal segments, extends along the side of the whole body from the 

 base of the ocellar prominences to the last abdominal segment, stigmatal in position 

 on the abdomen ; anal booklets black. Length, 33 mm. ; tips of ocellar prominences 

 apart, 4.5 mm. ; breadth of third abdominal segment, 9 mm. ; height of second abdom- 

 inal segment, 9 mm. ; distance from mesonotal tubercle to tip of ocellar prominences, 

 7.5 mm. ; depth of the frontal notch, 1.25 mm. ; length of booklets, .14 mm. ; breadth 

 of their apical cup, .05 mm. ; mass of booklets, 1.08 mm. long and .52 mm. broad.
