outward in the median space, and widely bordered with a pale reddish tawny patch, tlie line not 
continued to the inner (hinder) edge of the wing. The middle (intradiscal) lino very distinctly 
bent outward on the costal edge, making a large rectangle on the cubital vein, ending, after 
making a small tooth, on the distinct reddish brown tuft on the hinder edge of the wing. ■ Within 
the costal portion of this line is a small white ])atch, and a very largo Avhite patch on the outside 
extending fmm the apex of the angle in the median spa(te to the costa. 
Extradiscal line wavy, forming about eiglit fine teeth, reddish brown, edged externally with 
white, the line itself nearly straight, not wavy nor very oblique (mucli less sinuous than in Z. 
ferruffinm)^ and on each side of the costal end the wing is more or 
less marked with white. The space between these two lines does 
not differ in shade from the ground color of the wing (while in L, 
ferruphiea the space forms a distinct broad reddish brown band). 
A very faint submarginal diffuse line composed of very obscure 
dark colored lunules. Fringe of the sanu^ hue as the wiugs, with 
linear white marks at the end of the venules. 
niad wings and abdomen ])ale soft flesh-whitish, the costal 
edge broadly margined with mouse color, interrupted by a trans- 
verse broad costal band, and another at the apex, not reaching 
inward beyond the second subcostal vemde. 
Beneath, both wings uniformly whitish, the costal edge slightly 
and irregularly clouded,, but the lines uot reproduced beueatli. 
Exi)anse of wiugs, 9 , 4h-45 mm.; length of body, 9,17 mm. 
Egg. — Hemispherical, rather liigh, uot flattened; the empty shell chalky white, under a 
lens appearing to be very finely pitted; under J-iuch objective seen to be ornamented with dense 
close-set rounded granulations, with no space betAveeu them, and no polygonal areas; micropyle 
apical, distinct. Diameter, 0.7 mm. The oriflee eaten by the larva is irregularly oval. 
Larva. — Somewhat like Nadaia gihhosa^ but ^he head is smaller, and it has no supraanal 
plate, and the body is smooth, not granulated. Head nearly as wide as the prothoracic segment, 
but not so wide as the body; full and rounded, though a. little flattened 
above; deep pea-green, but coiicolorous with the body. On the side a 
pink line edged above with white extending to base of the antennie. 
Mandibles green at base, with an orange-red line along upper edge. Tii)s 
black. A short black line above at base of antenna*. Body noctniform, 
tapering toward the anal legs, which are short and small, no larger than 
the other abdomiiial legs, supraanal plate small, rounded at the end, not 
large and conspicuous as in Nadafa gihhom. Segments nut convex, but 
the sutures distinct. A faint double median, whitish, somewhat broken 
line, the two lines converging and forming a single one on the middle of 
the supraanal phite and tinged slightly with pink. A distinct lateral pink 
line begins on side of the head and extends to end of the body along 
the edge of supraanal plate. The line is somewhat finely brown, and is 
edged below with Avhite. The whole body and legs pea-green, slightly 
darker below than along the back. Thoracic feet, greenish amber, spotted 
externally with black. Length, 0.40 mm. 
The following description of the larval stages, pupa, etc., are copied 
from Mr. Dyar’s i)aper in Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural 
History, November, 1894: 
First larval stage . — The newly hatched larva is entirely shining yellow, 3 mm. long. Head 
cordate, as wide as high, pale brown, slightly shining; eyes black, mouth brown; width, 0.6 mm. 
Body slender, long, smooth, with minute black sete arising from inconspicuous black dots. Anal 
feet extended nearly backward, slender, partly aborted. Color, leaf-green, shining, a yellow shade 
stigmatally. All the feet black, contrasting.
