the third, fourtli and fifth segments are only 

 tiny orange marks, and on the third segment 

 four shining black spines, the fourth and 

 fifth segments have only two spines each, on 

 all the rest of the body are very fine black 

 hairs ; face and legs black with orange marks. 

 When quite young the pale yellow marks are 

 white. When touched the larvae curl them- 

 selves up and drop to the ground. On June 

 iSth turned to chrysalis in earth; a pretty 

 chestnut brown [chrysalis], short and fat. 

 On June 30th the moth emerged. Food plant 

 'worm weed.'" (E. M. Swainson.) The 

 food plant mentioned is most likely Spigelia 

 a7ithclmia L. (Loganiaceae). 



The most interesting feature of the larva, 

 as brought out in the above notes, is the 

 development of spines in addition to the 

 hairs. It is to be hoped that a detailed 

 account can be obtained later on.
