the yellow portions of the dorsal stripe. The second stripe dull pale 

 yellowish red. Subdorsal line another series of black dots, but more 

 nearly a continuous line. Below this line of dots a pale yellow line 

 bordered below with another line of dots, a similar pale yellow line 

 and bordering lines of dots separating the two lateral stripes, the series 

 of dots next the lower stripe more prominent. The centre or body of 

 the lateral stripes the same as the dorsal in color. Substigmatal line 

 pale yellow bordered with black. These black lines are so fine that 

 they make but little of the color of the surface except the lower lateral 

 one. Joint 8 elevated in the region of the posterior dorsal pilifer- 

 ous spots, back part of the elevation on back and sides mosdy black, 

 except the pale yellow lines; more black also on posterior part of joint 

 eleven. Piliferous spots rather prominent, orange, the hairs black. 

 Head paler than the body, a black stripe on each side, and two on each 

 side of the front. Quite a prominent fleshy fringe along the side. 

 Toward the last of this period the general color changes to a grayish 

 red with a yellow tinge between the joints. Duration of this period 

 three days.

 Sides of posterior and anterior parts tinged with black. Duration of 

 this period eight days. 



After fifth Moult.— Length 1.40 inches. Ground color very pale 

 lilac-white, the body still having some of the appearance of stripes 

 between the joints, but the general appearance is of a uniform color 

 with rows of black dots. Joint 8 still elevated, and the posterior 

 pair of piliferous spots on joint 1 1 more prominent than the others, 

 pointing back and with an oblique black mark from behind them 

 forward. Middle of joint 8 yellowish with black motdings on the 

 sides running back to abdominal legs on joint 9. Head nearly a 

 clear color, a black line down the sides of the cheeks and another fine

Mature Larva. — Length 3 inches; width of head .17 inch; of joint 

 8, .35. Height of joint i, . 15 inch; of joint 8, .35, tapering gradually 

 each way from joint 8, the place where the measurements taken being 

 a little elevated. More distinctly striped than at the beginning of the 

 period, there being three dorsal and three lateral to each side; the 

 central dorsal pale, the parts on each joint somewhat elliptical, the broad 

 part between the joints the narrow in the centre. The whole body dot- 

 ted with fine black dots that seem to be as during other periods. The 

 second stripe on dorsum darker, more intensified on joint 8. The darker
