the spiracles; the entire surface covered with fine short whitish 
rs, and larger more scattered blackish ones; ventral surface slightly 
r than dorsal. 
When the pupa first emerges it is light yellowish green, 
er around the head and thorax. The median dorsal line is yellow,

Uitiaad coationing to the posterior end There are a few 
tk dots on each abdominal segment. As the pupa grows older its 
om changes to a light creamy white; a lateral black stripe appears,

aring on the head, another on the dorsal line of the thorax, and 
one just above the immer angle of cach wing case. These 
pre ections are much like those on the chrysalis of P. rapae, but are 
more pronounced. Length, 21 mm.

f all our Atlantic Coast Geometride it would appear that 
) large and strikingly colored forms as the species of Pla- 
ile would long since have been described; nevertheless, in 
a recent paper in this journal (Vol. XVIII, p. 206), Mr. Pear- 
a “fall characterizes a new one and separates two other species 
_ which had theretofore been regarded as belonging to a single 
species. It was even more surprising when Dr. Henry Skin- 
“ner sent to me through Professor J. B. Smith two examples of 
_a species which I could not identify in the Hulst collection nor 
- in the literature, and my conclusion that it was new was con- 
firmed by Mr. Pearsall to whom the specimens were sent for 
verification. It may be described as follows: 
-Plagodis schuylkillensis ». sp. 
_ Expanse, 30.5—31.5 mm. across the apices of the wings, Anal

wings deep ochreous. Intradiscal line purplish-brown, rather narrow,
