to the neighboring horns as before. Lateral horns small, sub- 

 equal. Skin densely granular shagreened. Depressed spaces (i) 

 distinct, paired, a little whitish. Translucent greenish, a narrow 

 white line along the subdorsal ridge the whole length. Horns 

 slightly yellowish-tinted, with a trace of vinous shading at the ends 

 of the body. Later there appear more decided traces of color. 

 A yellowish-white band in the subdorsal ridge is broken into six 

 slightly oblique broad bars under the long horns, elsewhere faint; 

 there is a fine linear straight white dorsal line, broken, most distinct 

 centrally, dividing the small white dots of depressed spaces (i). 

 A slight purplish infiltration in the dorsal space between these 

 marks. Length, 1.8-2.8 mm. 



Stage V. Elongate, flattened, tapered behind, the subdorsal 

 horn of joint 13 about two-thirds as long as that of joint 12, the 

 rest subequal, those of joints 6, 7, 9, and 10 very small. Lateral 

 horns of joints 3 and 4 moderate, the rest small. Green, whitish 

 along the sides; subdorsal horns yellow with a yellowish- white 

 subdorsal band below them, narrowed in the spaces between to 

 border the dorsal space, which is especially elliptically widened 

 at the short horns of joints 6-7 and 9-10. A broken white dorsal 

 line; depressed dots (i) greenish, impressed. A slight purple 

 infiltration all along the dorsal space between the markings. Length, 

 2 . 8-4 . i mm. 



Stage VI. Horns of joint 13 distinctly elongated into tails* 

 longer than the subdorsals of joint 12. Elliptical, the sides wide 

 centrally and flattened, the dorsum long, straight, narrow. Horns 

 moderate, the short subdorsals distinct, separate, about as large 

 as the lateral horns, of which those of joints 3 and 4 are stouter, 

 but hardly longer than the rest. Green, the subdorsal ridge broadly 

 yellow, narrowed at the short horns, causing the dorsal space to 

 expand there, apparently. A broken white dorsal line touching 

 the white dots of depressed spaces (i). Dorsal space partly purple- 

 filled. A broken yellow line beneath the lateral horns. Subdorsal 

 horn of joint 3 slightly red- tipped. Spines black-tipped; skin 

 densely frosty granular; the lateral depressed spaces show faintly as 

 large, concolorous, kidney-shaped hollows. Later the markings 

 become more pronounced. Green, the subdorsal horns of joint 3
