spiracle (fig. cc), color and general details as in the thoracic spiracle 

 (fig. hb) ; last segment has four large pointed processes along the 

 posterior edge with much shorter ones between; the end of the 

 segment is depressed in the middle with four small, rounded tubercles 

 on the edge; ventro-posteriorly the segment is divided into two 

 sharp, pointed, conical appendages.

Pupa (fig. 15). — Small, dull, yellowish red with the thorax sub- 

 politus. Head broader than high; antennal capsules small, narrow, 

 slightly raised on the lower front part of the head; between these 

 capsules are two narrow punctures; below each antenna is a small 

 bristle; above the antennae are two small tubercles close together; 

 just above these are four rounded tubercles in a transverse row, 

 each outer tubercle has a bristle at the apex; above these is another 

 row of four tubercles, the two middle ones much smaller than the 

 two outer ones and each tubercle having a bristle at the apex; on 

 the dorsum near the back of the head is a pair of rounded tubercles 

 widely separated, and just in front of the suture at the back of 

 the head, near the thoracic spiracle, is a small, rounded tubercle; 

 between these tubercles are several radiating rugosities near the 

 middle. Thorax nearly one and one-half times longer than wide; 

 on the middle of the dorsum are four small, rounded" tubercles 

 each with a bristle at the apex ; on the anterior suture and narrowly 

 separated are two broad, slightly raised, rugose elevations, each 

 having a small bristle at the apex; at each anterior angle is a well 

 defined, elongate tubercle, upon which is located the thoracic spiracle 

 (fig. dd) \ this tubercle is reddish yellow, darker at the base; the 

 slit is long, sinuous, yellow, and composed of small, parallel slits; 

 on the side of the thorax, near the middle transverse line and close 

 to the margin, is a single bristle; the narrow plate at the base of 

 the thorax has two bristles on each side widely separated from the 

 corresponding bristles on the opposite side. Abdomen is composed 

 of eight segments, the first seven are nearly equal in length; first 

 segment has a pair of widelj^ separated bristles in the middle of the 

 posterior portion of the dorsum; on each side of this pair are two 

 rather closely set bristles ; segments from 2 to 7 have at the posterior 

 third a transverse dorsal row of sharp spines which terminate in a
