Dyar.] 396 [Nov. 7. 
punctiform around the micropyle. Diameter 0.8 mm., height 0.6 ram. Laid 
3 or 4 together on tlie under side of a leaf of the food plant ( Viburnum). 
First larval stage. — On joint 2. two subdorsal setae on enlarged bases ; on 
joint 5 a single dorsal hump bear.s tubercle 1; on joints 6-11 two humps, 
tubercle 1 on each, becoming smaller posteriorly ; on joint 12 a low single 
hump. Head higher than wide, the lobes distinct ; pale testaceous-brown. 
Body shining red-brown finely mottled with yellow, this color replaced by 
clear yellow subdorsally on joints 8, 4, 6, 8, and 11, and subventrally on 
joints 6, 8, and 9 ; feet dark. The setae have rather large, slightly conical, 
brown, chitinous tubercles, normal in arrangement (6 absent) with several 
on the lower part of the square brown leg plate ; setae slightly enlarged at 
tip. Anal feet elevated. 
Se;i»ul stage. — Head bilobed with a tubercle at the apex of each lobe ; 
red-brown with a rounded, pale yellow patch on each side of clypeus above, 
one on the side of each lobe and the clypeus itself the same color ; ocelli 
dark ; a few setae ; width 0.7 mm. A red-brown dorsal line with markings 
of the same color, finely yellow dotted, along the lateral area and covering 
the whole of joints 5, 7. 10, and 12 ; the rest of the body pale yellowish, 
especially on joint 8. The abdominal feet on joints 8 and 9 and the thoracic 
feet are pale. Tubercles 1 with enlarged bases, forming slight dorsal 
prominences on joints 2, o. and 12. Anal feet brown, elevated. Setae 
dusky with glandular tips, normal. 6 present with 5 or 6 setae on leg plate. 
Third stage. — Head small in proportion to the body, bilobed with a large 
tubercle at apex of each lobe, rather flat before with several setae ; pale 
brownish white, shaded with brown posteriorly with a vertical brown band 
before ocelli extending to vertex of each lobe, the pair connected by an 
angular cross band above clypeus and again, faintly, near the vertex ; 
clypeus greenish, ocelli dark ; width 0.95 mm. Tubercles 1 with enlarged 
bases ; a slight hump on joints 5 and 12 bearing 1 near the apex ; a pair of 
tubercles in place of the cervical shield. Body at flrst yellowish except the 
sides of joints 2-4 which are green. Later shining leaf-green ; a purple- 
brown dorsal band dotted with white extends from joint 2 to the anal feet, 
widening a little on the middle of each segment, covering tubercle 1 on joint 
5, but on joint 6, 1 is bright yellow ; the brown color covers the whole of 
joint 7, even the foot, and stains the posterior half of joint 6 and a stigmatal 
patch on joint 5. Tubercle 1 on joint 8 yellow. The brown band covers 2 
on joints 9 and 10 and stains the foot on joint 10, extending up anteriorly 
and also postericn-ly on joint 11 ; it covers tubercle 1 only on joints 11 and 
12 and becoming very narrow on joint 13 passes to the anal feet. A faint 
white subdorsal band, stained with yellow, mo.st distinct on joints 8 and 9 
and forming a somewhat oblique yellowish mark on joint 11, suggesting the 
usual V-mark of Schizura larvae. The green ground is partly replaced 
subventrally by whitisli streaks. Thorac-ic feet pale. Setae pale with 
glandular tips. 
Fourth stage. — Head much as before, but a brown line extending up from 
the ocelli is all that is left of the brown on the sides of the lobes, and the 
band connecting the vertical lines above is broken. Width 1.5 mm. Body
