Larva; Coquillett, Papilio 1, 7. Head light gray, bordered above and on sides 
with black; body ashen gray; the dorsal space dark gray, bordered outwardly with a 
row of piliferous spots; a stigmatal row of black spots also; there is a slight prominence

Primaries gray, clouded with brown and black; lines distinct; t.a. line edged in- 
wardly, t.p. line outwardly with brown; t.p. line angulated with one angle beyond 
reniform in place of M, then nearly straight to sinus, which is very small; reniform 
pyriform light; subreniform annulate; triangular light patch at apex, along costa; se— 
condanies bright yellow; median band curved, nearly even, short; border broken. Ex-

Primaries sordid white; lines distinct; t.p. line edged with cin- 
namon brown. 
Larva probably nearly the same as in amasia, thus deceiving Abbott 
in the identity of the two species. His figure makes it greenish gray, 
with protuberances on each segment, and with dorsal, subdorsal and 
stigmatal dark lines; also an oblique dark line on each segment.

Primaries even dark fuscous gray, somewhat hoary; reniform shaded with gray; 
subreniform stained with brown; linés indistinct, with course of similis; secondaries 
_like similis, but with median band generally narrower. Probably representing similis 
in Arizona. Expands 40—50 mm. Found in Arizona. Food plant, Scrub Oak, 
(auct. Doll).
