 Anceryx Edwardsii, Butler. Larval stages.

 their earlier stages, monstrously large. It is faintly punctured, and has a slight dorsal

 band and lines are continued, and there is on the anterior half of this segment, a rich 

 wine-red stain, enclosing 2 narrow transverse bars of rich brown. The black marks 

 on the sides of the segment are larger and more distinct than in No. 2. The 4th seg-
