black : colour of the body dingy white, with an indistinct 

 medio-doi'sal stripe of a smoky olive tint, apparently in great 

 measure due to the presence of food in the alimentary canal, 

 an inference that receives support from the fact of the stripe 

 being partially interrupted at the segments ; on each side is 

 a waved olive stripe, also interrupted at the segments, and 

 thus divided into a number of short oblique lines, each of 

 which terminates in a yellowish dot ; on each segment, be- 

 tween the medio-dorsal and lateral stripes, is an orange- 

 coloured, wart-like and hairy spot ; there is a second indis- 

 tinct lateral stripe near the spiracles, which is olive at its 

 anterior extremity, but fades into yellow towards the anal 

 end. The spiracles are black ; ventral surface pale olive. 

 Pupa obese, the head rounded ; attached by the tail, and 

 also by a surcingle round the waist, to the leaf or petiole of 

 the food-plant ; emitting numerous longish hairs in the same 

 manner as the larva. Colour the most delicate pale wainscot- 

 brown, with a number of black spots ; the principal of these 

 are — a narrow band passing over the neck immediately be- 

 hind the base of the antenna-case ; a shorter band behind 

 this, but in front of the thorax ; a short stripe on the costa of 

 each wing-case, and numerous subquadrate spots spread over 

 the entire dorsal surface ; these are disposed in two dorsal 

 series of eleven each, and two lateral series on each side ; 

 these are irregular and minute on the thorax, but regular and 

 conspicuous on the abdomen, where is also a third inter- 

 vening series of minute dots ; all the hairs are sienna-brown. 

 It remains in the pupa state throughout the winter, and the 

 butterfly appears in June, flying with great rapidity along 

 pathways in woods, and also along the outskirts of woods. 

 1 am indebted to Mr. Wright, who received the larva? from 

 Mrs. Hutchinson, for the opportunity of describing this little- 

 known larva, which I believe was first discovered in England 

 by the Rev. H. Harpur Crewe, who has described it in the 

 'Zoologist' (Zool. 8402) : Hiibner's figure, as copied by 

 Curtis, is very accurate. — Edward Newman.
