Dyar.] 158 [Nov. i, 
stage advances, tlie dorsal band becomes continuous, red-brown, widened 
into a diamond-shaped patch on joint 7 and a sligliter one on joint 5, 
faintly bordered with yellow; there is a broad yellow band on the head, 
running from the ocelli straight to vertex of the lobe, uniform in width. 
The cervical horns become entirely brown. 
Third stage.— Radid rounded triangular, flat in front; pale green with a 
broad yellow band on the angle between front and side, running to 
vertex; ocelli black; width 1.8 mm. Horns short, close together, 
pointed; tails 6 mm. long. As the stage advances the band on the head 
becomes red-brown on the anterior side nearly to the vertex; the dorsal 
band is distinctly bordered with yellow and there is a series of oblique 
lateral yellow lines, ten in number, each extending over two segments 
and running together above to form an obscure yellow subdorsal line 
which lies close to the yellow border of the dorsal band. Feet and 
venter wliitish. Tails uniform pale pinkish, the threads deep crimson. 
Fourth stage. — Head rounded triangular, flat in front, higher than wide; 
pale green, not shining ; a vertical band on each side from behind the 
black ocelli, meeting at the top. The band is yellow, bordered in front 
with red-brown, mottled, its front edge angulated inward at about the 
middle; jaws blackish ; width 2.7 mm. Two conical, dark red tubercles 
on the anterior edge of joint 2, close together, each tipped with a hair. 
Stemapods 5.5 mm. long, pale whitish with a brown line on the inner 
side. Body marked as at end of last stage, except that the red-brown 
center of the dorsal band is more reduced and colored darker brown on 
joints 5, 7, and 11; the oblique lateral lines are not confluent above and 
the sides are heavily black speckled. Later the dorsal band becomes 
dotted with white, the two posterior oblique lines become obsolete, rep- 
resented only by the absence of the black speckles, and the one preceding 
them on joints 10 and 11 is continued backward as a yellowish substig- 
matal line to joint 13. The oblique line on joints 4 and 5 is more distinct 
than the others. The band on the head becomes largely red-brown, 
mottled with yellow, but still with a yellow border posteriorly. 
Fifth stage. — Head oval, much higher than wide, rounded, full, not 
bilobed; pale leaf-green, smooth, shining, under a lens faintly reticulated. 
A broad band, with a blunt tooth on its inner side, reaches from ocelli to 
vertex; red-brown, mottled with pale brown and bordered with yellow on 
the posterior side. The head is held with the vertex forward, so that 
this band is parallel with the lateral oblique lines on the body. Mouth 
whitish, the jaws tipped with black; width 4.3 mm. Body higher than 
wide, somewhat triangular in shape and tapering from the head to joint 
13, which is small. Stemapods absent, their abbreviated bases rounded 
and held close together, about 1 mm. long. Cervical horns absent, rep- 
resented by two brown dots close together, each bearing a fine hair. 
Body pale leaf-green, thickly covered Avith little purplish black speckles 
which segregate into short crinkled or circular lines as seen under a lens. 
They are absent on the sides in 10 oblique bands, which each extend over 
three segments, from the dorsal line to subventral region. Some of
