segment, rather flattened and slightly notched on the crown ; 

 body of nearly uniform width, but tapering very slightly 

 anteriorly; skin very finely, but almost inconspicuously, 

 ribbed transversely; ground colour pale olive-brown; head 

 brown, marbled with gray ; medio-dorsal stripe very indis- 

 tinct ; on the anterior segments it is composed of a very fine 

 double line, darker than the ground colour ; these lines 

 conjoin and become darker, and more conspicuous posteriorly, 

 forming a distinct black stripe on the 10th, 11th, and 12th 

 segments ; there are also four square black marks at equal 

 distances apart on the dorsal surface, each of which is divided 

 into two equal parts by the medio-dorsal line ; the sub-dorsal 

 lines are brownish gray, and the spiracular lines gray ; 

 ventral surface olive-green, thickly variegated with darker, 

 and having two almost imperceptible dark green central 

 lines. In other specimens the belly is grayish in the centre, 

 gradually becoming darker as it approaches the spiracular 

 region, where it is smoky black. When at rest the food-plant 

 is grasped by the claspers, and the head curved inwards. — 

 Geo. T. Porritt ; Huddersfield^ September 15, 1871.
