Full-grown larva and pupa of Deida- 

 mia inscripta. — On July 13, 1890, I found 

 on Ampelopsis veitchii, in Brookline, Mass., 

 a larva a trifle over two inches in length. 



The head was round, green, with a faint 

 white line on each side of the median suture. 

 The body tapered from the fourth segment 

 to the head, and was clear, bright green, 

 without obliques. Two pale yellow lines ex- 

 tended from the head over the dorsum of the 

 first three segments. A brighter yellow- 

 white line extended up each side of the caudal 

 horn, and a little way down on the sides of 

 the body — like the "last pair of obliques" of 

 many sphingid larvae, only extending by no 

 means so far down on the body. There was 

 a thick wavy stigmatal edge from 1st segment 

 to the tip of anal flap. The body was not 

 rough, but striated transversely. The caudal 

 horn was green except on the sides where 

 the yellowish lines came. Feet and prolegs 

 green, spiracles unnoticeable. 



On July fifteenth it stopped eating, and, on 

 the seventeenth pupated. The pupa was 1 3-16 

 inches (20 mm.) long, slender, brown mottled 

 with greenish on the back. The abdominal 

 segments were "honey-combed" with tiny
