304 THE entomologist's record. 



more than two months after hatching) : Length, 4mm.-4-5mm. ; width 

 of head, -GSmm. ; ground colour, pale straw-grey ; lines brown, with 

 a pinkish tinge; dorsal central line strongly marked on the abdominal 

 segments, rather weaker on thorax ; a space of light ground colour 

 borders it. Below is a faint indication of the second dorsal line, beneath 

 which, after another space of ground colour, is the narrow, but very 

 distinct third dorsal line. The space between these two lines is darker 

 than the normal ground colour, and might be considered as a broad 

 stripe with the second and third dorsal lines as upper and under dark 

 edgings respectively. Another space (rather narrow) of ground colour 

 comes next, and then the supraspiracular line, broad and dark, 

 particularly dark on the abdominal segments towards the end of the 

 body. The spiracular line is a short distance beloAV. It is narrow, 

 rather waved, and faint, interrupted widely at the segmental incisions. 

 Owing to the narrowness of the spiracular line, a wide space separates 

 it from the lateral edging (flange) ; this is of a pale ground colour ; 

 beneath the flange is a broad, but rather pale, shading of reddish- 

 brown ; ventral surface and prolegs pale; true legs, pale brownish 

 externally; head darker than the body; rather hairy appearance. 

 Tuherdes, hairs, spiracles and jjitting : The head is rather roughly 

 pitted, its surface appearing to me somewhat coarser than in Satyr us 

 species. The positions of the setse on it are normal, the hairs 

 (colourless) being very long, and there are no dark spots at their bases ; 

 body hairs long and colourless ; the prothoracic segment has ten 

 tubercles on each half of the body ; i is just outside the central dorsal 

 line, and iii is in a line with it beneath, nearly on the third dorsal line ; 

 ii is farther back on the segment, at an equal distance from i and iii ; 

 the hairs arising from these tubercles are bent forwards ; iv is very 

 little lower than iii, but it is farther back; the hair from it leans back, 

 and is rather shorter than the others; v is some distance beneath 

 (about at the level of the supraspiracular line's lower edge) and very 

 near the anterior edge of the segment ; its hair is long and slightly 

 bent forward ; vi, with a similar hair, is just underneath it ; the 

 spiracle stands exactly behind this tubercle, but some distance from it ; 

 vii and viii are above the flange, one behind the other ; ix and x are 

 near together on the base of the first leg ; their hairs are divergent, 

 rather short and stout ; there are about four hairs on the leg. Meso- 

 and metathoracic segments : Tubercle i is on the 4th subsegment, just out- 

 side the light border of the central dorsal stripe ; ii is on the third dorsal 

 line, iii near the centre of the supraspiracular stripe, iv is very near 

 iii, but on a slightly lower level and farther back ; it is a smaller 

 tubercle than iii; these tubercles are all on the 4th subsegment; vis above 

 the flange, much below iii and iv, and a little further forward. It is 

 apparently on subsegment no. 3, but the subdivisions of the thoracic 

 segments are not easy to follow, especially down towards the flange. 

 On the swollen setting of the leg, is a single tubercle, which comes 

 sixth in the order observed in this larva. If it be vii, then vi is missing ; 

 a few hairs grow from the feet. Abdominal segments: Tuberclei issituated 

 lower than in those larvae of Satyrns and Erebia which I have had 

 occasion to examine. It is on the external border of the faintly 

 marked second dorsal line, on the first subdivision of the segment ; ii 

 is on the fourth subdivision, and only slightly below the level of i. It 

 barely touches the inner margin of the third dorsal line on the first
