Fig. 58. — Head and thorax of pupaofi>. pempicua, 
seen from above, e, oye; %v, IJrst pair; it»", soeoud 
pair of winjrs; ab\ lirst abdotniual segment. 
diffuse and spreading. A])ieal streak unusually long and distinct. The tlirce Lranclies of tlie 
median vein are outlined distinctly in brown, and there is a faint shading of this color along 
internal margin centrally. Hind wiiigs very pale buff' (E., Y, 13), but mucli paler, without dark 
shades; underside as hind wings above, the outer edge of 
primaries darker, with the fringe dark brown, as above. 
Expanse of wings, 47-53 mm. 
A very distinct species with only one close ally, namely, 
I>. rohnsta Strecker. It differs from all the other species in 
its bright yellow color. (Dyar.) 
— “In general shape subpyriform; flattened at base 
and top, depressed centrally at vertex, the usual black spot 
small and indistinct, situated at the bottom of the puncti- 
form depression ; the wliole surface punctured. Color, white; 
the lid-like top of a somewhat brigliter white. AYidth, 0.9 
mm.; height, 0.8 mm. The egg is of the type of thatof J), 
major^ but resembles that of JJ, ministra in coloration, by 
possessing a discolorous lid like to]>. This is the part of the 
shell eaten by the young larva in liatching. Laid in masses 
of varying numbers ou the underside of the leaves of the 
food plant.” (Dyar.) 
Larva^ SUu/e 7. — “Length near the end of the stage, 
about o mm. Wlien iirst hatched the head is black, 0.5 mm. wide; the body is yellowish, with a 
reddish dorsal and subdorsal line, not reaching the extremities; 
cervical shield, feet, and anal plate black. As the stage ad- 
vances, the body becomes reddish, with four lateral yellow 
stripes ou each side and three ventral, as in its allies, whicli 
remain throughout the lar^'al stages. They are nearly as Avide 
as the intervening lateral spaces, a little confluent posteriorly, 
and are colored yellow. JUack hairs arise from small black 
tubercles and from the elevated anal feet.” (Dyar.) 
Larra, Siatje II. — “Head higher than wide, slightly juxnc- 
tured, black; width, 1.1 mm. Body parts colored as before. 
The hair is short, blackish, and arises Irom minute tubercles 
that are much smaller than in the previous stage.” (Dyar.) 
Larva^ Stage III. — “Head shiny Idack, punctured, the cly- 
peus smooth; width, 1.G-L8 mm. Ceiwical shield, anal ])late, 
and thoracic feet black. Body dark red, the strii)es broader than tlie intervening spaces, bright 
yellow: abdominal feet red, the anal pair black. A few sho]*t hairs; spiracles small, black.” (Dj ar.) 
The specimens described below Avere received Au- 
gust 23, from Mr. James Angus, and so named by him. 
Larra.^ Stage HI or IV:\ — Length, 17 mm. The 
head i ^ black, not quite so AAide as the body. A shining 
Idack chitinous transA^ersely oblong ]»rothoracic shield. 
The bodj^ is moderatelj’' hairy, the hairs reddish; it is 
deep straAV or lemon yellow, with eleven pitchy reddish 
lines; the median dorsal line is much broader than any 
of the others and broader than the sjdracular line; of 
\ the two subdorsal lines, the upper is a little wider than 
the loAver; the lowestorinfraspiracular line is interrupted 
by the sutures ; the two A’eiitral lines of the saaie reddish 
color pass along at and including the base of tlie thoracic 
and abdominal legs. The suraual plate is small, shining black. The anal legs are conical, black, 
except the reddish plaiita, Avhich is distinctly eA’^ersible, being seen at times to be retracted, 
though armed with hooks. The two paraiial plates are dark at the end; the end' of the body is 
constantly upheld. The thoracic and abdominal legs are blac*k.
