180 TWENTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 



of the sides, and lower down with a margin of longer and unequal 

 ones, projecting also behind. On the anterior portion of the body 

 dorsally, a semicircular dark brown brush-like tuft, convex in front, 

 and slightly elevated above the surrounding hairs ; on the posterior 

 portion of the body (llth segment 1) a similar round tuft of longer 

 hairs. Two slender pencils of dark brown feathered hairs project in 

 front of the head. Legs and prolegs light fawn-color. Yentral 

 region black. 



The attempt to carry the above larvae through their hybernation 

 met with the ill success that, in nearly every instance, attends similar 

 experiments. In the spring they were found still fastened to their 

 webs, but dead. 



Apatelodes Angelica (Grote). 



Head subrotund, dark brown, the clypeus and two lines on the front 

 lighter brown. Body with the thoracic segments tapering; terminal 

 segments tapering and flattened posteriorly ; ventral region flattened ; 

 the anal legs projecting behind. Color of the body gray; numerous 

 fine black linings, among which may be traced two forming a vascu 

 lar stripe, and two similar lateral stripes on each side. On segment 

 one, anteriorly, are four dorsal white lines, posteriorly black ; segment* 

 two is black anteriorly, behind which are irregular black linings ; 

 segment three as the preceding one; on segments five to ten the dor- 

 sal black linings assume a Y shape, the apex resting on the suture 

 and inclosing centrally two yellow-green subelliptical spots, with a 

 similar spot exterior to each within the superior lateral stripe. 



From the first segment, long, whitish-brown hairs project over the 

 head, nearly concealing it; from the middle of the second and third 

 segments whitish hairs project forward, of which those on the latter 

 segment are shorter and arranged somewhat in tufts, beneath which, 

 when extended, some short stiff red hairs are seen ; laterally below 

 the stigmata are two rows of fascicles of white hairs of unequal 

 length, mingled with a few longer brown ones, extended rectangu- 

 larly with the body until to its middle, whence the remainder are 

 directed backward ; from the terminal segment white and brown 

 hairs, of greater length than elsewhere on the body, project horizon- 

 tally, brush-like, backward ; short, whitish hairs are scattered sparsely 

 over the body. (The larva escaped before its description could be 

 completed, and the remainder is from memory). On the vascular 

 line, on each segment, is a tuft of black hairs about .06 in. long, the
