Last stage (77 : 20). Head (80 : 74) dark orange, deepening somewhat in tint toward 

 the summit, the upper half of the triangle, the ocellar band and the mandil)lespiceous. 

 Body green, the spiracles pallid with a piceous rim, surrounded by a fuscous cloud of 

 greater or less extent, varying in different individuals and on different segments, the 

 tracheal stems being also visible through the transparent walls of the bodv as iuf us- 

 cated radiating and fading rays. First thoracic segment greenish testaceous, the 

 lower extremities of the shield marked with black. Legs concolorous, but the second 

 and third joints and the apical rim of the first joint of the first pair infumated

Another description. The following description of the living animal is taken from 

 the notes of Dr. Gundlach. Head dark orange; mouth parts, ocelli and frontal tri- 

 angle black. The body with a transparent skin and a whitish line on either side of the 

 back; the color would be of a very pale bluish green but because all the inner organs 

 may be disthiguished the appearance is greenish gray; all the tracheae are clearlv 

 visible, as is also a white line between the stigmata [the tubes connecting the tracheal 

 vessels] and two pairs of subcutaneous yellowish white lines under the anal plate; the 

 first thoracic segment very pale bluish green, the spiracle black; the other spiracles 

 are white with pale yellow borders ; thoracic legs of the general color, but the first 

 pair have the base black on a roseate ground ; second pair with only a little black spot 

 at the base ; the ventral surface of the apodal abdominal segments covered with a 

 white powder. 



Chrysalis (85 : 48). General color very pale green; the^whole surface transversely 

 and minutely corrugated, furnished with exceedingly sparse and excessively short, 

 very delicate, erect hairs; on the middle of the mesothoras they are longer, stouter 

 and more abundant though still sparse, and curved backward, seated everywhere on 

 minute papillae; a series of laterodorsal, transversely oval, flattened lenticles, each 

 placed in a depression of the general surface, black in color, situated a little in advance 

 of the middle of the anterior and a little behind the middle ofjthe posterior half of the 

 second to the eighth abdominal segments, the antarior ones slightly.nearer together than 

 the posterior ; the posterior one is also found upon the first abdominal segment and 

 near the middle of the mesothorax ; the anterior one is again found near the anterior 

 edge of the prothorax and an additional lenticle upon the prothoras just in advance of 

 the prothoracic spiracle, here somewhat oblique ; wing cases and legs whitish ; tongue 

 dark green; stigmata yellowish ; cremaster whitish ; frontal tubercle ferruginous, the 

 upcnrved extremity black. Length from tip of frontal tubercle to tip of cremaster, 

 36 mm. ; length of frontal tubercle, 3 mm. ; of cremaster, 3 mm. ; of free portion of
