466 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
After third noU.— Length, .7-"> Inch. As before, the dorsal space is composed of 
three Stripes and eaeh side to the lower part of stigmata 2. The central of the three 
dorsal stripes somewhat elliptical on each joint, the central part pale dull reddish- 
yellow, outside of this clear pale yellow. The division between this and the next 
stripe a more or less distinct black line composed of a series of dots, a similar 
series of dots marking the division between the reddish yellow aud the yellow por- 
tions of the dorsal stripe. 
The second stripe dull pale yellowish red. Subdorsal line another series of black 
dots, but more nearly a continuous line. Below this Hue of dots a pale yellow line, 
bordered below with another line of dots, a similar pale yellow line, and bordering 
lines of dots separating the two lateral stripes, the series of dots next the lower 
stripe more prominent. The center or body of the lateral stripes the same as the 
dorsal in color. Substigmatal line pale yellow, bordered with black. These black lines 
are so line that they make but little of the color of the surface except the lower lat- 
eral one. Joint 8 elevated in the regiou of the posterior dorsal piliferous spots, back 
part of the elevation on back and sides mostly black, except the pale yellow lines ; 
more black also on posterior part of joint 11. Piliferous spots rather prominent, 
orange, the hairs black. Head paler than the body, a black stripe on each side, 
and two on each side of the front. Quite a prominent fleshy fringe along the side. 
Toward the last of this period the general color changes to a grayish red with a. yel- 
low tinge between the joints. Duration of this period three days. 
After fourth molt. — Length, 1.05 inches. Pale reddish gray, the stripes as before 
but faint, indicated principally by the rows of dots. Sides of posterior and anterior 
parts tinged with black. Duration of this period eight days. 
After fifth molt. — Length, 1.40 inches. Ground color very pale lilac white, the body 
still having some of the appearance of stripes between the joints, but the general 
appearance is of a uniform color with rows of black dots. Joint 8 still elevated, and 
the posterior pair of piliferous spots on joint 11 more prominent than the others, 
pointing back with an oblique black mark from behind them forward. Middle of 
joint 8 yellowish, with black mottlings on the sides running back to abdominal legs 
on joint 9. Head nearly a clear color, a black line down the sides of the cheeks aud 
another fine one back, a little brown iu front. Stigmata pale brown, finely ringed 
with black. A little faint yellowish along the back, head, aud legs with faint brown- 
ish tinge. 
Mature larva. — Length, 3 inches; width of head, .17 inch; of joint 8, .35; height 
of joint 1, .15 inch; of joint 8, .35, tapering gradually each way from joints, the 
place where the measurements taken being a little elevated. More distinctly striped 
than at the beginning of the period, there being three dorsal and three lateral on 
each side ; the central dorsal pale, the parts on each joint somewhat elliptical, the 
broad part between the joints, the narrow in the center. The whole body dotted 
with fine black dots that seem to be as during other periods. The second stripe on 
dorsum darker, more intensified on joint 8. The darker stripes are made darker by 
the slightly darker ground color. First lateral stripe pale, the dots gathered in its 
center in slightly elliptical masses, much as in the dorsal, wider than the next. 
Stigmatal stripe dark, including the dark-brown stigmata. Below this a pale 
stripe that reaches to the fringe. Color of all the stripes, gray, slightly llesh-colored 
in the paler ones. Elevation of joint 8 more distinctly black iu the dark stripes, the 
central fulvous on the elevation without the black dots. Piliferous spots orange, 
rather inconspicuous except the posterior dorsal pair of joint 11, which are prominent 
and project backward. Head mottled with pale brownish, otherwise as at beginuing 
of period. Three of the ocelli black. Legs pale. Venter pale, without the black 
dots, the centers of joints 4 and 8 with purplish-black spots, traces of same on other 
joints. Duration of this period twenty-live days. 
Chrysalis. — Length, 1.25 inches; length of wing and tongue cases, .65 iuch, these 
reaching to the posterior part of joint 5. Shape to joint 5 cylindrical, the rest of
