vrhioh is Interrupted Id the middle of the body. Aual legs large and broad, with 
uniisiiiliv Large Bapra-aoal piliferooa tubercles. All the legs ooncolorons with the 
body; ;i flesh colored patch beneath <m the first abdominal segment. Length, 4'2" ,m .

yellowish-brown. Usually, however, in both sexes the wings are broadly margined 
with biown, with two or three black apical spots, aud the discal dots are large and 
distinct. Expanse of wings, 1.60 to 1.80 inches. 
9. Limacode8 viridus Reakirt. 
10. Limacodes sp. 
This larva was observed at Providence September 18. 
Larva. — Body broadly oval, the edge with a broad, thin margin, from which arises 
a raised central broad ridge, the surface of which is hollow, with the sides forming 
the ridges. The entire body is irregularly aud coarsely wrinkled, with cparse granu-
