EBULEA CROCEALIS. 139 



from Mr. Barrett, one of them about the same 

 dimensions as the above-mentioned before hibernation, 

 and the two others of larger size. These I put on 

 the growing plant of Inula dysenterica, although they 

 had been found on I. conyza. 



The largest of these was nearly three-eighths of an 

 inch long, and the other rather less. They had both 

 black heads, but the side-ends only of the plate on the 

 second segment were broadly black, the central area 

 being light green ; the colour of the body was pale 

 ochreous-greenish, the dorsal vessel a little more 

 green or of a deeper tint of the same, showing as a 

 stripe between two opaque, pale, faint yellowish 

 stripes, for they seem to lie beneath the skin and 

 to show through it; another more faint but narrower 

 occurs lower on the side, and the line on which the 

 spiracles occur is similar ; the warts all bear black 

 central dots ; the head when full-grown is black and 

 glossy, with a faint ochreous streak across just above 

 the mouth; the papillae whitish-yellow with black tips; 

 the spiracles black; the tubercular dots very small and 

 black ; the plate on the second segment is light 

 ochreous-green, bordered thickly at the sides with 

 shining black. 



By the 23rd of May one had changed to pupa, and 

 another by the 24th. 



The pupa is nearly half an inch long with pitchy 

 black head and thorax, the wings and abdomen very 

 dark purplish-brown, moderately glossy, the abdomen 

 cherry-red at the sides and beneath ; the segmental 

 divisions of the flexible segments of the abdomen 

 very glossy, the head and thorax also. In shape it is 

 rather slender, of about equal substance from the 

 front of the thorax to the end of the wing-covers, 

 narrowing from the thorax to the head, all the parts 

 and the eye-pieces well developed, the wing-cases 

 of moderate length, the abdomen slender and tapering, 

 the thorax rather ridged on the back ; the tip of the 

 abdomen has a little prolongation ending in two small
