triangular green dot; traces of a broad pale subdorsal band crossiiiR tubercles 

 I and II; a narrow lateral line midway between tubercles I and III, bent down- 

 ward posteriorly ; a broken spiracular line. Tlie principal setae from tubercles 

 I-III arc blackish, very slightly spiculate, long and subequal. On the abdom- 

 inal segments tubercles I and II are in line, bearing two shorter anterior hairs, 

 the latter with two similar posterior ones and two very minute ones situated 

 one posteriorly and one anteriorly. Tubercle III bears two long black setae 

 and one or two short white hairs. Behind the spiracle on the posterior margin 

 of the segment is a minute white hair. Tubercle IV + V bears five long 

 central white hairs and about the same number of shorter ones arranged as 

 a rosette around the central hairs; two short white hairs directed backward 

 are found posterior to this tubercle; VI is very similar in arrangement of 

 setae to IV + V and VII is as usual represented by several hairs at base of 

 prolegs. On the prothorax a fringe of white hairs overhangs the head; be- 

 hind this is a row of five black hairs and behind this row again are six black 

 hairs arising from three tubercles, the middle one of which is centrodorsal. On 

 the meso- and metathoracic segments tubercle I + II bears five long black 

 hairs, and two or three short anterior white ones; posterior to this group are 

 two short white hairs arising from a small tubercle; tubercle III has two long 

 black hairs and several shorter white ones. Length 13 mm. 



"Dr. Dyar's statement (Psyche, VIII, p. 250) that cupalorii larvae feed 

 on the underside of the leaf, concealed, whereas eU'wtti larvae feed exposed on 

 the upper side, was not verified, by my observations ; both species may be taken 

 on either the upper or underside of the leaf, a favourite place being among the 

 terminal half-opened leaf-buds. 



"Pupa (Fig. 4).^Apple green with purple-red suffusion each side of a 

 pale centro-dorsal stripe; the lateral portions below the subdorsal ridge prom- 

 inently purple-red with two oblique pale lateral lines and a similar spiracular 

 one. Subdorsal and subspiracular flanges well-developed. Wing sheaths with 

 lateral fringe of hair and further rows of short hair along the antenna! and 

 leg sheaths as in elliotti. Tubercles I and II on abdominal segments each with 

 five or six finely spiculate white hairs, arranged more or less longitudinally, 

 the central hair being longest. Dorsad to tubercle II is a single minute hair; 

 on the first three abdominal segments dorsally is a small tuft of short hair 

 anterior to tubercle 1. Tubercle III, situated on anterior portion of the lower 

 lateral stripe, bears only a single short white seta; posterior to it are two 

 short hairs near rear portion of segment and arranged in line parallel to the 

 segmental incision. Tubercle IV + V, situated on the lateral flanges, is prom- 

 inent, with about twelve long white spiculate hairs, and immediately anterior 

 to it and close to the spiracle are two minute hairs arising from a small 

 tubercle. Tubercles IV and VII are each represented by a iouple of short 

 hairs. The thoracic segments show the usual modifications in respect to the 

 number of tubercular setae."
