66 ANCHOCELIS LUNOSA. 



a pale dorsal line and a pale ochreous collar behind 

 the head. 



In April they attained their full growth, when I 

 took the following description : Length, one and a 

 quarter inches ; stoutish, cylindrical, tapering slightly 

 towards the extremities ; head round ; dorsal plate on 

 segments two and thirteen ; the warts large, con- 

 spicuous, raised, and emitting bristles ; skin (not 

 velvety, but) shining. Ground colour usually an olive- 

 brown, darker all over the back as low as the subdorsal 

 line ; dorsal and subdorsal lines fine, ochreous ; side 

 below the subdorsal line paler than the back, but 

 deepening towards the spiracles, which are placed in 

 a dark line ; below the spiracles the colour is a dull 

 purplish-brown ; head pale brown ; the plate on 

 second segment pale yellow (very conspicuous) edged 

 behind with black. 



There were varieties which retained a great deal of 

 their juvenile greenness to the last, the side between 

 the subdorsal line and the spiracles being more green 

 than brown, and the belly pale greenish ; and there was 

 one larva which remained quite green all over, the 

 back being deepest in tint, just as in the brown variety ; 

 the warts in this larva were not so conspicuous, but 

 in every case the pale yellow of the second segment is 

 very striking. (J. H., Jan. 28, 1867; E.M.M., III, 

 260, April, 1867.)

I owe my acquaintance with this as well as several 

 other species, to the great kindness of Mr. George 

 Norman, of Forres, who sent me a batch of eggs on 

 October 2nd, 1869 ; they were mostly laid thickly 

 together in a flattish mass on a piece of paper, though 

 there were some few loose and separate from each 

 other ; they began to hatch with Mr. Hellins at Exeter
