Cocoon: (Plate XXVI, fig. 2). A fine network of rather coarse brown 

 threads, not so dark as in comptus, but the reticulations closer than in 

 any species studied. Oval, 9-10 mm. long and 6.5 to 7 mm. wide. 



Pupa: (Plate XXVI, fig. 4, 5). When first formed with yellow-green 

 head, small brownish-black eyes, yellow antenna?, legs and wing-pads 

 paler. Abdomen dark green with a distinct pale dorsal line that 

 extends onto prothorax but in those I have seen not onto the head. Frontal 

 row of hairs rather distant from margin; central pairs close together, 

 three following pairs form a curved line ending near the posterior outer 

 edge; a few hairs on remainder of thorax; .transverse rows of blunt 

 seta; on each dorsal abdominal segment ; hairs on beak rather short and 

 thin; those on ana! segment moderately long, stout and dark. Length 

 5.5-7 mm. Width 3.5-4.5 mm. Probably some are larger than these 

 measurements show.
