skin pale, very short, not longer than i mm. Neither pro- 

 thoracic nor anal shield chitinous. 



Pupa, from empty shell : — Fifteen mm. long to tip of 

 cremaster ; 4 mm. wide across thorax by 3 mm. thick. Abdom- 

 inal segments tapering to a point. General shape slender and 

 elegant. Head and eye-caps make a triangular anterior pro- 

 jection. Cremaster .75 mm. long, armed with two large hooks 

 and four smaller ones. 



Color of pupa whitish green, on upper side of thorax and 

 dorsal side of all abdominal segments, except 12 and 13, is a 

 black-brown patch, averaging 2 mm. in width, interrupted by 

 a small clear spot on posterior edge of thorax ; the same spots 

 are repeated on first and second abdominal segments and on 

 margin of patch about centre of thorax. On the last abdom- 

 inal segment is a small dorsal spot of the same black-brown 

 color. The appearance of this patch is, as if the pupa had been 

 held for a moment, dorsum down, in cold-tar or pitch, and in 

 very striking contrast with the nearly white color. Setae on 

 pupa very minute.
