of the inner surface of the leaves, especially near their summit, and hence, 

 here the foliage was crisp and blanched. These whitened portions of the 

 leaves, together with the size of the case occupied by the larva when full 

 grown, enables the .collector readily to discover their places of retreat. 



On the 21st of June, I took three of them, two small and one full-grown 

 each small one occupied the tip only of a leaf, the edges of which were drawn 

 together and fastened with silken threads. 



description of full-grown specimen: — Length, 1-20 inches. Head, medium 

 sized, bilobed, flat in front ; black with a number of short, fine, pale brown- 

 ish hairs. 



Body above alternately handed with rich, hlacJcish purple, and yellowis"') 

 green. The purple bands occupy the middle portion of each segment, and 

 on these arise transverse rows of black branching spines — none on second 

 segment — four spines each on third, fourth, and terminal segments — seven 

 on each of the others. On each side the dorsal line, from sixth to twelfth 

 segments inclusive, is a round silvers/ white spot, set on the anterior edge of 

 the purple bands. The bands of yellowish green, which alternate with those 

 of purple, are crossed by faint transverse lines of black — anterior edge of 

 second segment, brown — posterior portion, yellowish green crossed with faint 

 black lines ; there is also a fringe of whitish brown hairs, arising from small 

 lack tubercles crossing this segment just beyond the middle — Spiracles 

 nrge, dark brown, encircled with white. 



Under surface, dull purplish brown, with many very small dots of yellow- 

 ish green — feet, black — prolegs, purplish brown. 



Description of small specimen : — Length, 0-25 in. Head, medium size, 

 black and shining. 



Body above, dull reddish brown, and glossy, spines black, as in full-grown 

 larva. — Under a magnifying power of 45 diameters, the white spots are very 

 distinct, but are scarcely perceptible with an ordinary magnifying lens. 



Under surface, similar to upper — feet, black.
