PROTOPARCE CAROLINA 131 



was almost round, green, with white granules. The 

 body was green, with white granules on the thoracic 

 and white dots on the abdominal segments, white sub- 

 dorsals, and white obliques edged above with black. 

 The legs were dark, the props green; the anal plate 

 was edged with light yellow-green. The horn was 

 brown at base, almost black at tip, and rough with 

 dark spines. The crawlers ate their skins, except the 

 masks. 



Celeus had the horn green in front and behind with 

 black spines, and white on the sides with white spines, 

 and the legs green ringed with gray. 



Four days later they molted for the third time. The 

 head was round and green, finely dotted with white. 

 The body was green, with white granules on the tho- 

 racic segments, and dots on the lower part of the 

 abdominal segments. The dorsum was very white- 

 green, the sides were very yellow-green, and the ven- 

 tral and stigmatal areas were very blue-green. These 

 shades of green varied enough to give a striped look 

 to the caterpillars, very different from the blue-green 

 or yellow-green or white-green of celeus larvae, each 

 of which was of one shade. Carolina's obliques were 

 white, edged above with black; celeus' were yellow- 

 white. Carolina's legs were green and black; celeus' 

 were gray and black. Carolina's props were green, 

 and the anal plate was edged with bright yellow-green. 

 Carolina's horn was bright tan-color, with black spines 

 in front and behind, long and stout. Celeus' horn 

 was either black, blue with black spines, blue at the 

 sides and black in front and behind, or black with 

 white part-way up the sides. '
