an infrastigmatal band similar to the last but paler and indistinct ante- 

 riorly ; between the two lower stripes the body is profusely spotted 

 with more or less raised papillae of a pale salmon color, the larger and 

 higher distinct, the others less so, each bearing a hair similar to those 

 on the head; marked also with a good many clustered, raised, black 

 points between the wartlets, very abundant on the terminal segments ; 

 on the dorsal portion of the body the colors and markings are similar, 

 but the salmon colored warts are more distinctly and highly colored, 

 infringe more upon the dark green (which itself is hardly so dark) 

 and are surmounted, as sometimes below, with a white or pellucid 

 centre from which arises a white or pale brown bristle ; on the terminal 

 segments these bristles are nearly all dark brown and the black points 

 are rather also profuse. Raised border of the spiracles black, the inner 

 edge pale brown, outside a little paler. Basal joint of the first thoracic 

 legs pale or colorless, the rest black edged, especially interiorly, with 

 pale; claw blackish, other thoracic legs pale dirty yellowish ; the last 

 joint a little fuscous; claw blackish. Prolegs pale brownish yellow 

 with an olivaceous tinge like the underside of the body ; claws casta- 

 neous. Length, 28 mm. ; breadth, 5 mm. ; breadth of head, 4.1 mm."

 ish fuscous, transversely marked with luteous. Prothorax like the 

 prothoracic stigmata velvety black. Thorax above luteous marked 

 with blackish dots and curving streaks formed of collected dots, each 

 giving rise to a lustrous, pale, vinous hair, the streaks more abundant 

 along the sides of the hinder edge of the mesonotum and just behind 

 the middle of the same portion ; wings fusco-luteous, marked with 

 frequent, slender, transverse, irregular streaks of blackish fuscous, 

 mainly following the veins. Legs like the antennae. Abdomen sparsely 

 haired ; four basal joints pale, bespecked with black, the specks on the 

 middle and posterior half mingled into transverse, partially associated 

 patches ; the concealable parts of the following segments are pale, 

 unspecked ; the other parts black above dotted in a transverse row
