The head is higti and narrow, not so wide as the body, hut 

 wider than the ist thoracic segment; it is pale livid jnirplish, 

 darker down the front, with two parallel black-brown lines on 

 each side, bordered with paler, and enclosing a clear pale purplish 

 band. The clypeus, labrum, antennre and region near the eyes 

 are pale. A minute piliferous wart on each side of the vertex. 

 The ist thoracic segment is mottled with reddish, and pale flesh 

 on the sides. A dorsal broad band, divided in the middle by a 

 pale yellow line becomes one-half as witle behind on the jd 

 thoracic segment, and passes back to the horn on the ist ab- 

 dominal segment; the rest of the 2d and 3d thoracic segments 

 are pea-green, a little paler than the upper side, and darker than 

 the under side of a red-maple leaf, but on the whole very closely 

 assimilated in tint to the color of the leaf. 



'J'he abdominal segments are in general fadetl, dull blood-red, 

 due to fine, dark, flesh-red lines and mottlings on a pale carneous 

 ground. On the first abdominal segment is a high nutant fleshy, 

 soft dorsal tubercle which is inclined a little backward, but on 

 being touched bends over downu'ard near the back ; the basal 

 half is mottled and lined like the sides of the segment from which 

 it rises, but above becomes bright, clear, blood-red, the entl 

 being deeply forked, each fork bearing a long black bristle. A 

 median black line passes along the tubercle, becoming forked in 

 front and behind at the base. Two large, high twin soft tubercles 

 on the 5th segment are not (juite so large as the two similar ones 

 on the 8th segment, but are situated on a much larger hum]") ; 

 they are of the same blood-red hue as those on the ist segment. 

 The small tlorsal tubercles on the 2d and 3d abdominal segments 

 are minute and yellow ; those on the 4th are partly blood-red. 

 The anal legs are long and slender. On the back of the abdo- 

 minal segments i — 4 is a i)orcelain white band, bordered with faint 

 yellow, and divided by the sutures ; the jiortion on the ist seg- 

 ment behind the tubercle is triangular, that on the 4th round ; 

 they each contain three deej) ])ink lines more or less broken and 

 irregular. 'I"he v-shaped mark consists of a white oval (acute in 

 front) spot on the 6th segment, and the two arms of the v are 

 formed by two converging oval spots, with a yellowish white spot 

 between the forks. The thoracic legs are pale flesh ; the middle 

 abdominal legs of the color of the leaf-stalk, while the anal legs 

 are paler. Beneath the body is green on the three thoracic seg- 

 ments, this color being continued back as a narrow band to the ist 

 pair of abdominal legs ; otherwise much as on the sides of the body.
