1909] COX — DEILEPHILA INTERMEDIA felet 
it was yellow edged above with black. ‘The dorsum of the eleventh segment was 
almost black running up to the short black horn. ‘The spiracles were black with 
yellow centers, the last two being very large. ‘There was a green spot on the stigmatal 
line under each spiracle. ‘The head was green, small, and round. ‘There was a 
whitish raised plate on the dorsum of the first segment. 
The third molt followed in seven days. The head was leaf-green, with a black 
band above the mouth-parts. The dorsal plate was whitish green. ‘The dorsum 
was dark velvety green with a light green dorsal line. On the eleventh segment the 
dorsum was black, and the whole dorsum shaded into black towards the subdorsals. 
The subdorsals were broken, being made up of small light green dots between the 
segments and large red spots on all the segments except the first two. There was a 
yellow spot on the second. The sides were lighter than the dorsum and covered with 
white dots. The spiracles were yellow with a black area around them. ‘The stigma- 
tal line was yellow and broken — disappearing between the segments. ‘The venter 
was the same color as the sides, but the white spots were smaller and were only just 
above the legs and props. The legs were shiny black and the props were black with 
red plantae. The caudal horn was red at the base and black above. The anal plate 
was green with a brown tip and lighter edge. There was a light mark like a Greek 
phi [¢]. As the caterpillar grew larger the colors became paler and the subdorsal 
spots turned salmon pink. 
The fourth molt came in five days and this time the caterpillar was greatly 
changed. The body was black and shiny. The head was slightly bilobed and 
pinkish brown, with a black line over the mouth-parts. The anal plate and props 
and dorsal plate were the same peculiar color as the head. There were large salmon 
pink spots edged below with white on every segment from three to eleven inclusive. 
The sides were dotted with yellow. The spiracles were large and white, turning pink 
the next day. The horn was bright-vermilion, granulated, and could be moved up 
and down. The legs were shiny black and the props were black with red plantae. 
In this stage the whole caterpillar looked artificial as if made of wax. It had 
a peculiar habit of spinning a thread of silk as it brought its head up after eating 
a curve out of a leaf. 
It fed for ten days, growing to the length of three inches. Then it stopped eat- 
ing, grew shorter, the subdorsal spots turned purple and it crawled around very 
rapidly for a day. It then spun threads of silk to hold leaves together over it. 
Three days later (Aug. 1) it pupated, having had a larval life of thirty-eight days. 
The pupa was about an inch and a quarter long and very slender. The head, 
and the antenna-, leg-, tongue-, and wing-cases, also the back of the thorax were
