times as long as wide, the outer half infuscated, the basal half color- 

 less with slight double pecten followed by several hairs ; division of 

 the infuscated area irregular. Anal segment with a rather large 

 dorsal plate ; terminal tuft double, normal ; no ventral hairs. Comb 

 of nine spines in a straight transverse row. 



Stage II. — Head rounded, pale, eyes still round; antennae pro- 

 portionately smaller, stout, the outer half a little "more slender, the tuft 

 at the middle, weakly infuscated outwardly. Body hairs slight, be- 

 coming single posteriorly. Tube pale brown, conically tapered, 

 about three times as long as wide, a double many-toothed pecten 

 followed by several hairs. Anal segment as before with the small 

 ventral brush added. Comb of i6 spines in an irregular double row. 



Stage III — Head as before, the antenna; more distinctly infus- 

 cated at tip and more markedly smaller on the outer half. Tube 

 about three and a half times as long as wide with pecten and hairs as 

 before. Anal segment broadly plated, the ventral brush confined to 

 the barred area. Comb a triangular patch of spines about three rows 

 deep. 



Stage /F.— (IT. XVHI, Fig. 3.) Head pale brown, the eyes 

 transverse ; antennae moderate, the tuft at the middle, the basal half 

 pale, the outer half smaller and infuscated. Thoracic hairs numerous, 

 rather short, from infuscated tubercles ; abdominal hairs slight, single 

 posteriorly. Tube four times as long as wide, pale brown, gently 

 ta])ering on the outer half, the pale double pecten (Fig. 3, A') followed 

 by a few long hairs. Anal segment completely ringed, a few spines 

 on the posterior half dorsally, tuft and brush normal, the latter con- 

 fined to the barred area. Comb a triangular patch of little spines 

 four rows deep. 



Pupa. — Normal, air tube slender, cylindrical, curved, rather long 

 and not funnel-shaped. 



Coretha brakeleyi Coquillcft. 



This larva has been referred to by Dr. John B. Smith (Can. Ent., 

 XXXIV, 139, 1902) and by myself (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., V, 50, 

 1902). The specimens from which the figure (PI. XIX, Fig. i) 

 was made were received from Dr. Smith, who, with Mr. J. Turner 

 Brakeley, is originally responsible for the association of larva and adult. 

 I have recently been able to confirm their work by breeding larvae 

 kindly sent me by Mr. Brakeley.
