parts also brown. In some specimens the brown color of the dorsum 

 is reduced to small patches, and occasionally a yellow dorsal line is 

 present, the ground color (pale green) then prevailing. 



Length, 0.85 inch; width, 0,25 inch. 



Food plant. Wild cherry. 



Before undergoing its change to pu/^a, the caterpillar becomes creamy 

 white, and loses the brown marks of the dorsum. The underside of 

 the body is more yellow, and the green color only faintly retained 

 about the head and the 2nd segment. 



Adoneta spinuloides. H. S. (No. 67.) 



Larva. (Full grown.) 



Whole lateral region bright apple green. The dorsal is chestnut 

 brown, narrow on 2d segment, widened on 3d, and still wider on 4, 5, 

 and 6. The 7th is yellowish green, thus breaking the line of the chest- 

 nut color. On 8 the brown markings again widen out, extending over 

 9, and narrowing on 10 and 11. On the sides of the dorsum is a row 

 of orange red tubercles — 11 on each side — bearing very short spines, 

 those of the posterior segments bemg the largest. There is also a 

 series of non-spinous tubercles above the spiracles. 



Length, 0.40 inch. 



Food plant. Wild cherry. 



Gluphisia trilineata. Pack. (No. 41.) 



Larva. (Full grown.) 1 



Very bright apple green. Head of a bluer shade, with 2 minute 



black dots at the junction of the 2d segment. On the dorsum for the 



whole length of the body are two rather broad, even, yellow stripes. 

 Spiracles very minute; whitish green. 



Length, 0.65 inch. 



On willows. 



NOTODONTA STRAGULA. Gr. (No. 85.) 



Larva. (Full grown.) 



Head slate color, mottled with black, and with pale stripe on each 

 side. Mouth parts with a greenish tinge. Body pale lilac,' with the 

 exception of the nth and 12th segments, which are dull golden. The 

 7th and 8th have raised prominences, which are also golden, that of the 

 7th being the largest. Laterally there are some pale oblique strea.s 

 somewhat similar to those of many sphingidce.. These do not meet on 

 the dorsum, where there is a faint slate-colored line. Between the 2d 

 and 6th segments, and common to all of these, is a darker dorsal shade 

 which re-appears on the nth and 12th. The spiracles are white, with 

 a black ring, and the lower lateral line is paler than tne rest of the
