SATYRODES I. 



.57 inch ; on middle of dorsum a broad brown stripe, on either side of which is a 

 band of reddish-buff, passing into greenish-buff on the outer side ; on the side 

 anotlier buff band, tlirough the middle of wliicli runs a brown hue ; the basal 

 ridge buff ; head and horns as at preceding stage (Figs, e to e *). A few days 

 later the bufi' larvae became lethargic. 



But one of the green larvre proceeded to fourth moult without change of 

 color. From third to fourth moult, in the Fall, twenty-six days. 



After fourth moult, in Fall : length .6 inch ; color green ; but twenty-four 

 hours after the moult had changed ; color now yellow-buff and red-brown ; the 

 mid-dorsal stripe pale brown, the bands on either side of it greenish-yellow ; the 

 side brown, with a dull green line running through it ; head shaped as before, 

 the face green, stripes reddish-brown. This larva became lethargic a few days 

 later, but died during the winter. 



After hibernation, in Spring : the color gradually changed from buff to green ; 

 wholly dull green, with a darker mid-dorsal stripe ; a yellow sub-dorsal line from 

 horn to tip of tail ; two obscure yellow side lines ; along base yellow ; tails green 

 to tips ; head pale yellow, the stripes brown. Twenty-two days after the end of 

 hibernation passed fourth moult. 



After fourth moult in Spring : length .62 inch ; color pale green, the mid-dorsal 

 stripe dark green ; tlie dorsal bands yellow-white ; the two lines on side and the 

 basal stripe same hue ; head emerald-green, the horns reddish, the stripe dark 

 brown. (Figs.y"to/^ ; /Ms the natural size a few days after the moult.) Dura- 

 tion of this stage thirty days. 



After fifth moult: length one inch; color green, striped with whitish; in 

 about twelve days was fully grown. 



Mature Larva. — Lena-th 1.2 inch; lona:, slender, sea-ments 2 and 12 of 

 equal diameter, the dorsum arched on middle segments, sloping evenly both ways, 

 ending in two long tapering tails, which are roughly tuberculated ; each segment 

 creased transversely so as to make six ridges, the front one, from 3 back, twice 

 as broad as any other and flattened, the rest a little rounded ; w'hole surface 

 covered with fine sharp tubercles, each of which gives a fine short hair; color 

 of body green ; a darker mid-dorsal stripe, and on each side of this a pale green 

 dorsal band, on the outer edge a yellow-green stripe ; the side covered by a pale 

 green band through which runs a yellow line ; along base a yellow^ stripe ; feet
