ATTACUS ANGULIFERA 243 



In four days tliey molted again. Their heads were 

 pale green, with dark mouth-parts. Their bodies were 

 whitish green, with two distinct black lines on each 

 segment, the first segment having a heavy black line 

 just behind the row of tubercles. The tubercles were as 

 before. The feet and props were whitish green. From 

 the head to the tip of the anal shield was a heavy sub- 

 stigmatal line, like a cord, of whiter green. After this 

 molt they chose older leaves, leaving the tender ones 

 untouched. 



The third molt followed in four days. The heads 

 were green, with a black line across the front. The 

 bodies were very white-green, smooth, taperiug from 

 the third segment to the tip of the anal shield. The first 

 segment had two small yellow tubercles over the head, 

 two black dots on each side, and one over each foot. 

 The second and third segments had two large tubercles 

 on the dorsum, black at base, then yellow, then orange 

 at tip ; two black dots on each side and one over each 

 foot. The eleventh segment had one large, clear yellow 

 tubercle, ringed with black, on the dorsal line, and two 

 black dots on each side. The anal segment had four 

 black dots, and two black tubercles on the shield. 

 The other segments had six black dots each. The 

 anal shield and props were edged with yellow, and the 

 props had each a black horseshoe mark. The legs and 

 props were whitish green. 



Six days later they molted for the fourth time. The 

 thoracic tubercles became coral-red, ringed with black, 

 that on the eleventh segment being yellow as before. 

 Each abdominal prop had a black dot, and the " horse- 

 shoes" on the anal props became hollow triangles.
