ish dorsally, in G, and pale in J;' the under surface is slightly paler than 

 the iij)per, with a darker central line, in R, while the green color is deeper 

 below the stigmata in E,andG; the seventh lateral oblique abdominal 

 stripe is broader than the others and ends at the base of the caudal horn, 

 and the oblique stripes are pale or faint, in E, and E, these stripes being 

 faint greenish yellow, the central stripes with a reddish tinge, in R, pale 

 yellow, the seventh brighter, in E and G, and lighter green than the body, 

 approaching white [ci-imson, edged beneath with pale yellow, Clem.], in J; 

 in G, each of these stripes occupies about three-eighths of one segment, the 

 whole of the next and six-eighths of the third, being straight on the cen- 

 tral segment and curved posteriorly on the following one, " not angled at 

 the incisure, — having within them a granulation on each annulation (eight 

 to the segment)," while, in E, these stripes, in the first six segments, begin 

 "at the margin of each somewhat below the lower portion of the stigma, 

 traversing two segments in lines slightly concave anteriorly, forming an 

 angle at the incisure — sometimes continued on a third segment, nearly 

 reaching the vascular line," the seventh stripe beginning "on the posterior 

 portion of the ninth segment on the sub-stigmatal flexure, and continued in 

 nearly a straight line to the horn," the granulations of the seventh stripe 

 being elongated into papilla, and, in J, these stripes are made the more 

 conspicuous from the increased size of the granulations toward the broadest 

 part of the stripe, " each annulation adding to it a single granulation, ex- 

 tending over two segments and nearly reaching to the vascular line ;" E 

 has a "subdorsal thoracic line, pale yellow, extending over the second and 

 third segments nearly horizontally, and on the fourth, curving upward and 

 terminating near the vascular line," while G has the subdorsal thoracic 

 line yellow, granulated with pearl-white, papillre larger than those in the 

 stripes, beginning " on the anterior of the first segment, diverging from the 

 dorsum as it proceeds, and uniting at the sixth [or seventh] annulation of 

 the fourth segment with the first lateral " strijie; the granulations of the 

 body are small and greenish yellow in R, pointed and white in G, white 

 [pale yellow, Abb.] in J, and small, white-tipped, and more conspicuous on 

 the anterior segments in E; the caudal horn is at an angle of 20°, re- 

 curved backwards, purplish red and thickly granulated in R; nearly 

 straight, 6 mm. long, violet [i-ose-colored, yellow laterally, and often yellow 

 tipped, Lintn., 18G4], and acutely granulated in G; straight, 2.5 nnn. long, 

 green, and broad at its base in E ; and slender, 5 mm. long [brownish, 

 Avith blackish spinules, Clem.], quite rough with numerous acute granula- 

 tions, which are more prominent than those of the body, in J: the anal 

 plate bears a central elongated black patch with larger granulations on each 

 side, in R; is of a darker green, concolorous with the ventral region and is 

 granulated, in G; and is light green, studded with conspicuous white gran- 

 ulations, in E: the stigmata are small, round, and dull red, in R; and red, 

 except the first, which is orange, in G: the feet are pale green, spotted with 

 red, and the prolegs greenish, semi-transparent, in R; are dark reddish
