Segment VI: Arrangement the same; vii consisting of two, yiii normal, at the 
iaterior base of the proleg. 
Segment YII: Arrangement the same; vii and viii the same. 
Segment VIII: Arrangement the same; i and ii equal; vii and viii the same. 
Segment IX: Arrangement the same; i and ii equal, smaller; vii and viii the same. 
Segment X. Arrangement the same; i smaller than ii; iv farther back and below 
the spiracle; vii consisting of but a single tubercle, forming with viii a transverse 
row on the venter. 
Segment XI: Arrangement the same; i and ii equal, larger, forming a square when 
seen from above; vii and viii as in segment X. 
Segment XII: Arrangement the same; i and ii forming an inverted trapezoid, iii 
nearer to ii, iv opposite v of preceding segment; v and vi absent, viii apparently- 
consisting of two contiguous tubercles. 
Segment XIII: Eight minute tubercles in two transverse rows of four each on the 
anal shield, the posterior row following the outline of the margin; vii minute in a 
triangular group outside of the anal proleg; viii single, at inner base of proleg. 
Stage II. 
Millimeters. 
Average length after ecdysis 3. 85 
Average length before ecdysis 6. 50 
Average width of head cast 49 
Body stout, tapering slightly before and behind, head smaller than the following 
segments. Head shining, black or paler with mottled markings, bearing scattered 
setse. Ocellar spots brownish red. Cervical shield shining black or paler, trapezoidal 
when seen from in front, bearing eight setc^e. Anal shield dark, paler at base and 
tip. Legs slfining black, paler at the joints. 
Body marked as follows: Ground color pale greenish, with comparatively broad 
median and dorso-lateral lines of orange or brown, which are interrupted at the inci- 
sions and are less distinct on the thorax. The dorso-laterals branched at the middle 
of each segment, giving out dorsal and ventral arms. The former forms another 
interior parallel line and the latter embraces tubercles iii and iv. On the sides of 
the body irregular paired lines of orange or brown define incompletely a faint creamy 
stigmatal stripe. Body beneath pale greenish with a median row of orange spots 
■which fade out behind. Anal prolegs marked at the base behind with a looped 
dusky line. Spiracles larger, black, and resembling the tubercles. 
Tubercles shining black or dusky, their setge black. Arranged as follows: 
Segment I: Eight on cervical shield, as in i; two contiguous ones above and in 
front of the spiracle in an oblong kidney-shaped area; two other contiguous ones in 
front and below the spiracle; one in the center of their large black area and the other 
at the edge; also two contiguous tubercles at the base of the leg. 
Segment II: Twelve tubercles in a transverse row across the segment, the lower 
(vi) inconspicuous, its area absent; i and iv equal, one-half as large as iii and v; ii 
slightly smaller than iii; vii situated behind iv and v, forming with them a triangle; 
the tubercle above the base of the leg single, equal to iii. 
Segment III: Arrangement the same; ii, iii, and iv equal; posterior tubercle a little 
smaller. 
Segment IV: i, ii, and iii equal, iv and v equal and smaller, all in circular areas; 
i and ii forming a trapezoid when seen from above; iii above the spiracle, iv behind 
the spiracle, and v below; vi present, in a line with the thoracic leg tubercles; vii 
and viii in a transverse row of three on the venter, the outer of vii minute or absent 
and the inner much larger.
