80 CATERPILLARS AND THEIR MOTHS 



which was unmarked. The caudal horn was brown at 

 base, black above, and very rough with white setae, and 

 was held bent backward in a line with the dorsum. 



Seven days later the second molt took place. The 

 head was blue-green, with faint white face-lines. The 

 body was blue-green, with transverse lines of white 

 granules, white subdorsal lines, and a dark green dor- 

 sal line. There was a faint suggestion of white obliques. 

 The legs and props were green. The horn was brown- 

 ish white at base, black above, and rough, with white 

 setae. 



In this molt some larvae had pink horns, paler be- 

 hind. All the caudal horns were shorter than before. 



The third molt followed in four days. The head 

 was very round, gi-anulated with darker green on the 

 sides, but with no granules between the yellow-white, 

 opaque face-lines. 



The body was green, with yellow-white granules. 

 The subdorsal lines were yellow-white, edged above 

 with darker green, and the dorsal line was of the same 

 darker green. The obliques were yellow, edged with 

 green above. On the thoracic segments were faint 

 indications of lateral and stigmatal lines of yellow- 

 white. The swelling of the fourth segment was more 

 marked, and the third segment was sUghtly larger than 

 the first or second. The anal shield was edged with 

 yellow-white. The legs and anal props were green ; 

 the abdominal props green, with a pink band above 

 the plantae. The horn was short, stout, triangular, 

 red above and pink beliind, with a deep red line from 

 the end of the dorsal line to the tip of the horn. 



In this stage several of the larvae came out brown
