770 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Supra-anal plate triangular, acute at apex. Anal legs large, reddish on the edges. 
Length, 30"". 
FiiU-yrown lana. — Body tapering a little towards the head and decidedly towards 
the end. Head not so wide as the prothoracic segment, acutely triangular, conical 
seen in front, ending on the vertex in a subacute point and slightly notched. Face 
dull brick-red. at the point above towards the apex darker ; the front is widely bor- 
dered with straw-yellow ; head behind green. Body green, of the same hue as that 
of the pine leaves; along the back is a broad dull brick-red dorsal stripe, wanting 
on the prothoracic segment, and represented by isolated patches on the two follow- 
ing segments and ending before the end of the supra-anal plate. This band is bor- 
dered with a whitish-yellow line. Half way between this and the spiracular line is 
a b1 raw-yellow even line, becoming white on the terminal second and third segments ; 
it ends on the apex of the supra-anal plate, making its two sides white. The green 
spaces between the lines and along the under side of the body are dotted with white. 
A lateral infra-spiracular broad white line, interrupted at the sutures, becoming yel- 
low towards the head. Above this line, along the posterior two-thirds of the body, 
is on each segment an elongated lilac patch inclosing the black spiracles of the 
latter, edged with white. Thoracic feet green ; under side of the body behind the 
thoracic feet with a broad dull median lilac band, including the abdominal feet. 
Supra-anal plate narrow, acutely conical, the tip lilac. The anal legs broad, angu- 
lar, and edged with lilac. Length, 45 mm . Lintner does not, in his description, refer 
to the stigmatal lilac patches. 
Pupa.— Chestnut-brown, with a rough, not produced head-case. Tongue-case 
buried, parting the leg-cases, but terminating just before reaching the tips of the 
wing-cases. Incisures rounded. Posterior segments tapering. Stigmata black; ter- 
minal spine black, contracted at base, minutely bifid. Length, .95 to 1.10 inches.

90. The checkered pine sphinx caterpillar. 
EUema pineum Lintner. 
A caterpillar like the foregoing, but with a dorsal row ot squares, and transforming 
to a moth, which is readily distinguished from EUema harrisii by the darker ground- 
color of its wings, the absence of the gray shades, and its much less distinct mark- 
ings. (Lintner.)

Mr. Lintner, in bis Entomological Contributions contained in the 
Twenty-third Keport of the New York State Cabinet, describes the 
male and female of this pine sphinx, and also describes the larva as 
follows: 
Larva.— Length, 2 inches. Color, grass green. Head subtriangular, green, bor- 
dered with bright yellow, within which, at the apex, is a A of black. Body subcyl-
