had a broken substigmatal line of yellow granules. 

 The legs were yellow, with a dark brown sj><^t and red 

 tips, the props green, granulated with yellow. The 

 anal props had a dark brown spot at the tip. The horn 

 was very short, rough, and pale yellow. The spira- 

 cles were red. The granules in this molt suggested 

 amyntor. Three days later the larvae lost the rich moss- 

 green color and became blue-green, while the very 

 yellow marks were whiter. The caterpillars now ate 

 more and were less active. 



The fourth molt followed the third in six days. The 

 caterpillars were a little more than an inch and a haK 

 long, and largest at the anal end, taf>ering to the head. 

 The head was very white-gi*een on the sides, with white 

 dots, while the front was of a peculiar pink-purple 

 color^with pink face-lines. The first segment of the 

 body was very white-green, the anal segment was very 

 yellow-gi'een, those between were very blue-green, and 

 aU were dotted with white. On each side of the third, 

 fourth, and fifth segments of some was a red-purp»le 

 spot on the subdorsal line, suggesting myops. Others 

 had from three to ten red-puifde spots on each side. 

 The subdorsal Une was no longer visible. The obliques 

 were of small white granules, except the last paii\ which 

 were wider, rougher, and pinkish. The crests on the 

 thoracic segments were much lessencii, hardly notice- 

 able. The mouth-parts, legs, and tips of the props 

 were pink-piu-ple. and the anal props had a band of 

 deep red-purple. The spiracles were reil-purple in 

 pink-purple spots. The caudal horn was very short, 

 very slender, white, and rough. The anal plate was 

 heart-shaped, swelling, with dark re<l-purple tip. The
