a short paler line each side of the vertical suture; width .9 mm. Body moder- 
ately slender, straight, the central segments three times as long as wide and 
finely, numerously annulate. Dorsum brown, undulating, cut by a dorsal line 
which is dark brown on the segments, yellowish in the incisures; a subdorsal 
black shaded line; sides and especially the subventral fold pale yellow; venter 
broadly black, pulverulent, cut by a broken subventral yellowish line. Feet 
pale, the abdominal ones pale outwardly. Marks all pulvurulent and shaded. 
General appearance dark brown with yellow line on subventral fold 
Stage Head rounded, slightly bilobed, clypeus large, held obliquely flat, 
antennae large, projected; whitish on the clypeus, the verte.x about the sutures 
brown, a nearly black mottled stripe over the center of the lobe, the space between 
yellowish white; sides white, sparsely brown mottled; width 1.2 min. Body 
slender, normal, held straight, finely annulate; yellowish white, a broad diffuse, 
dorsal band, widened on the segments; narrow lateral, narrow stigmatal and nar- 
row subventral brown-black lines, a broad segmentally widened ventral band 
sometimes pale or diluted medially. Lines pulverulent, not very definitely 
edged, more or less confluent. The subventral fold shows distinctly pale yellow. 
Some larvae were light brown, others heavily black marked, others partly red- 
brown, partly black. Tubercles and setae small, obscure, spiracles black; tho- 
racic feet pale, sordid, appressed; abdominal ones appro.ximated, whitish outwardly 
dark brown within. 
Pupation in a slight cocoon at the ground. The larvae were fed on Pa/v- 
ga/ium, their natural food plant not being determined, though I suppose they 
will feed on various low plants.
