follows: a mid-dorsal row on all abdominal segments, a 
para-dorsal row on all segments (Plate VI Figure 6) but the 
prothoracic where there is a group of hairs, a suprastigmatal 
row on all segments, and a substigmatal row on all segments 
but the prothoracic. Here there is a prominent prespiracu- 
lar spine. Spiracles same as before. 
Eggs laid July 14 hatched four days later, July 18. The 
first instar required four days for completion; the second 
instar, four days. The food plant is Lippia. 
Anartia lytrea chrysopelea Hbn. 
Egg. Light chalcedony yellow. Height .60 mm. Great- 
est diameter .75 mm. The greatest diameter lies nearer the 
base than the apex. Eleven raisd longitudinal ribs. These 
project a greater height from the surrounding surface at 
the apex of the egg than elsewhere. In profile they present 
a serrated appearance. This is not so evident as in the egg 
of Metamorpha stelenes insularis (Holland). The ribs are 
joined by many microscopic parallel cross striations which 
at the apex of the egg form the micropyle rosette and at the 
base are replaced by polygonal areas. 
First Instar. Head height .3 mm.; head width .38 mm. 
Head shiny, light yellow green. Region of ocelli dark brown. 
Region of future head tubercles light brown. Few trans- 
parent hairs scattered over head. Body 2 mm. long. Gen- 
eral color light yellow almost cream. First abdominal seg- 
ment very dark maroon dorsally. Body covered with long 
microscopically serrate hairs. The basal two thirds of the 
dorsal prothoracic hairs are black, the distal ends trans- 
parent and colorless. The remaining dorsal hairs of the 
body are black on the basal third. All dorsal hairs forwardly 
recurved. Hairs below the subventral fold backwardly re- 
curved. The arrangement of the hairs on the prothoracic 
segment is shown in Plate VI Figure 3. Along the anterior 
edge of the cervical shield are four pairs of long forwardly 
recurved hairs arranged in a transverse line. Slightly 
posterior to the most lateral one and approximately dorsal 
to the spiracle is a short hair. There are two prespiracular 
hairs and the usual two hairs in the subventral position.
