DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN LEPIDOPTEROUS LARV^. 



By Harrison G. Dyar, Bhinebeck, N. Y. 

 Pholisora hayhurstii, Edwards. 



Larva. — Head as large as any part of the body, cordate, dull black, closely covered 

 with short white hairs. Antennie and mouth parts pale brownish. Joint 2 is very 

 small, not more than half as high as the head ; thence the b^^dy thickens to about 

 joints 8 and 9, and then tapers somewhat to the posterior extremity. It is of about 

 uniform width except joint 2, which is very narrow. There is a slight subventral 

 fold. The upper half of joint2 is covered by a pale brown cervical shield. Color dirty 

 greenish yellow, with many small, pale-yellow spots, which segregate to form an 

 obscure subdorsal line; a dark dorsal shade.
