very faintly mottled. Jaws and ocelli brown. Duration of this 

 period three days. 



After Third Moult. — Length .55 of an inch. Color pale 

 green as before, though a little more prominent. As in preceding 

 period the dorsal line darker green, the subdorsal white, with two 

 more white lines each side in the dorsal space, these lines a little 

 more distinct than before; stigmatal line as before. In the middle 

 of the subdorsal space is a clear green stripe, bordered each side 

 by a whitish line, and containing the black dots on joints 5 to 9 as 

 before. Head greenish amber, mottled a little with very pale 

 brown, with a more or less distinct dark brown stripe on each side 

 outside of the ocelli. Thoracic legs dark brown, the posterior 

 pair the darkest, the anterior mottled a little with green. Pro- 

 legs green. Substigmatal space with a few white dots. Dura- 

 tion of this period four days. 



After Fourth Moult. — Length .70 of an inch. Color green, 

 the white lines as before, except that the part below the stigmata 

 of the double stigmatal line are nearly obliterated and the lines 

 on the sides and back are connected by spurs, all the light lines 

 faint. Head green, a jet-black stripe on each side connecting in 

 front, antennae black, the interjoints green. Thoracic feet black, 

 the others green. Legs 12, wfth no trace of the first and second 

 pairs of abdominal legs. The whole body is covered with a short, 

 fine pile which is brown on the sides, but white on the dorsum. 

 The black lateral spots are still present, but are smaller than dur- 

 ing last period. Stigmata green, circled with black. 



Mature Larva. — Length .95 of an inch. The body is from 

 .10 to .12 of an inch in width from the middle joints to the anal, 

 but tapers from the fifth joint to the head, this being .06 of an inch 

 across by .04 deep. The second joint is without cervical shield. 

 The anal extremity is almost truncate. The color remains about 

 the same as at the beginning of this period, save that the white 

 lines are more obscure and the lateral black spots show but lit- 

 tle, if any. The other characters are the same as soon after the 

 fourth moult. Duration of this period four days. 



Chrysalis. — Length .75 of an inch ; length of wing case .50, 

 the leg and antennae case extending .05 of an inch beyond. In 

 shape cylindrical, the abdomen conical. The dorsal and lateral 

 portions of the cephalothorax are finely shagreened, with the 

 dividing lines between the plates shining. The basal joints of 

 the abdomen are somewhat shagreened, but they gradually be- 

 come shining or polished from before backwards, each one with a 

 slight elevation anteriorly. The last segment ends in a tubercle, 

 which is tipped with a single hook, with which it fastens itself to 

 the loose cocoon. The wijig cases cover the ventral portion of 

 the first five abdominal joints, the leg and antennae case project- 

 ing over the sixth. Depth through the thorax .20; ist abdom- 

 inal joint .19; 2d joint .21 ; 6th joint .18 of an inch. Color dark
