NOLA STRIGULA. 41 



the ventral surface is pale flesh-colour and naked ; the 

 head is blackish-grey, the lobes narrowly margined in 

 front with pale flesh-colour. 



The hairs of the tubercles on the anterior segments 

 are pale brown mixed with a few of dark grey, and 

 some few of them in front of the second segment, and 

 especially on the third, are very long ; the tubercles 

 on the rest of the body are furnished with hairs of a 

 paler yellowish colour ; on the back of the anterior 

 part of the anal segment, issuing from each side, are a 

 few hairs of extra length, which converge and taper 

 on each side to a fine point directed outwards in a 

 slightly downward curve, so that these two fine points 

 of hair resemble a forked tail. 



The pupa is four lines long, including the cast larva 

 skin adhering to its tail ; it is not very stout, of ordi- 

 nary shape, though the wing-cases are long in propor- 

 tion ; these last are reddish-brown in colour, the other 

 parts very dark brown and without much polish. W.

NOLA ALBULALIS. 



Plate XLIII, fig. 5. 



Six larvae were sent to me by the Rev. J. Hellins, 

 who had them from Mr. Piatt Barrett; they arrived 

 on June 20th. They were feeding on the leaves of the 

 dewberry (Riibus ccesius), fearless little fellows, caring 

 nothing for being tumbled about, so long as they were 

 not deprived of the leaf on which they happened to be 

 feeding. 



The full-grown larvse were over half an inch in 

 length and stout in proportion; when stretched out 

 in crawling they attained a length of five-eighths of an 

 inch. They had six rows of round proj ecting tubercles, 

 the lowest row just above the legs standing on thick 

 basal stalks projected more than the others ; each of
