yellow. Head somewhat narrower than body, anterior edge 

 rather truncate, rest rounded, whole surface entirely orange- 

 yellow, chitinous, rest of body rather fleshy. Segments nearly 

 same width, two anterior thoracic segments a little narrowed; 12 

 and 13 narrowed, particularly the latter. There are four longi- 

 tudinal orange-yellow stripes of equal width and length on dor- 

 sum of body, extending from anterior portion of mesothoracic 

 segment to twelfth segment, on which they unite in the orange- 

 yellow coloring of dorsum of that segment; at least the two 

 median ones unite, but the lateral ones are separated by a kroken 

 irregular black line with a pale border. These orange stripes 

 are all the same distance apart; between them is a silvery gray 

 area, three of these areas in all, one median and one on each side, 

 with longitudinal more or less broken but very clearly denned 

 black lines, five lines being represented in each area, and the 

 middle one being the least broken and most continuous. While 

 these gray areas with black lines reach only upon the anterior 

 edge of segment 12 (except the lateral ones, one black line from 

 which continues over that segment as above stated), they reap- 

 pear on anterior half of anal segment, being simply broken by 

 the orange dorsum of the twelfth segment. There is a more or 

 less broken longitudinal median black line on the ventral sur- 

 face; and about two very interrupted ones, consisting largely of 

 dots or sections of lines as do many of the above mentioned dor- 

 sal ones, with a gray background on each side at edge of venter. 

 Rest of venter pale flesh-colored. Prolegs all equally developed, 

 orange or yellowish. Larva with very few hairs on body, almost 

 naked, the most hairs being about mouth parts on anterior edge 

 of head, and on legs. Length [much shrunken], 22 mm. 



One specimen found on ground beneath scrub oak foliage. 

 Nov. 26, 1892, in north end of Organ mountains, southeast of 

 San Augustine and well up from base of mountains. General 

 color noted in life. [No. 360].

hairy black, yellow and orange larva. Head a little nar- 

 rower than segments, chitinous, wholly black and polished, the 

 clypeus pale. Three well developed pairs of thoracic legs, chit- 

 inous, shining polished black. Five pairs of black hairy prolegs 

 on usual segments. Segments nearly all same width, anal hard-
