6 ENNOMOS FUSGANTARIA. 
primrose-yellow, reaching to the mouth, and bordered 
above with deep green, which became lighter near the 
subdorsal line; the belly apple-green ; two little warts 
_ on the twelfth segment ; the true legs black, the ventral 
legs tipped with crimson-brown, and the anal legs 
green. 
This I thought was the invariable pattern of Lf. 
fuscantaria, but last summer (1864) Dr. Knaggs sent 
me six larve to rear for him, and I found that at their 
last moult some of them developed an entirely different 
appearance: to wit, the ground colour was reddish- 
orey, slightly mottled with greenish ; subdorsal yellow 
stripe scarcely visible; spiracular line rather greener 
than the ground colour, and becoming yellowish from 
the second segment to the mouth; across the third 
seoment was a row of red-brown warts, the largest 
being on the sides; large transverse red humps on the 
sixth and ninth seements, and very small ones on the 
eighth and twelfth; lateral red warts on the fifth, 
sixth, and seventh, and a ventral hump on the seventh ; 
pale lateral warts on the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ; 
the true legs crimson-brown, the third pair being very 
large. 
And Mr. Doubleday sent Mr. Buckler another larva, 
which appears intermediate between these two. It 
was nearly smooth, the ground colour a pale apple- 
green; subdorsal and spiracular lines yellow, but not . 
clearly defined; the last five segments suffused with 
pink ; two small red spots placed on a swelling at the 
seventh segment, two dorsal warts on the twelfth, 
small lateral warts on the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ; 
on the third seementa short red-brown stripe running 
backwards from the spiracles to the middle of the 
back. (John Hellins, November 4th, 1864; H.M.M.,
