as before in color, but the setae stiff, distinct, not glandular. The green of 
the sides is considerably broken up by whitish streaks ; tubercles 1 on joint 
6, and 1 and 2 on joint 8, are yellow. As the stage advances, the brown 
dorsal band partially fades out, the white subdorsal line, broken on joint 11 , 
becomes more distinct, and its posterior part forms a distinct V-mark on 
joint 11. Tubercles 1 on joints o and 12 make slight, but distinct, furcate 
processes. These disappear in the next stage. 
Fifth stage. — Head small, flat before, rounded, higher than wide ; white 
with a faint yellowish tinge ; from each side of base of clypeus a band 
extends to vertex of each lobe, cut by a small spot of the ground color each 
side of the clypeus and a larger one opposite apex of clypeus and narrowly 
bordering clypeus above ; this band is purple-brown, mottled with round 
dots of the groimd color ; a similar fainter band behind the ocelli. A very 
slight prominence on joints 5 and 12, low, scarcely even a hump ; otherwise 
the body is smooth, tubercles absent, setae small, dark, but tubercle 6 and 
those on the leg can be distinguished ; anal feet elevated. Body green, clear 
on the sides of joints 2-4 with a dorsal purple-brown band mottled with 
white, which tapers and ends at joint 5. A white subdorsal shade on joints 
5-13, diffuse downward and cut by oblique lines of the ground color (green), 
broken on joint 11, the posterior j^art continued forward from joint 11 on 
joint 10 and becoming yellow, forms a V-mark supplemented by a few dots 
on joints 9 and 11. A distinct yellow patch surrounds tubercle 1 on joints 
6-8 with a yellow dotted dorsal shading ; the spots 1 on joint 8 separated by 
a Y-shaped brown mark (in some cases, the sides of joints 5-8 are more or 
less covered with dark brown, mottled with whitish, being remains of the 
brown marks of the previous stage), and the brown usually prevails in a 
band from the spiracle on joint 5 back to the abdominal feet. Bases of the 
feet around tubercle 6 waxy white, this area bordered by a rather irregular 
brown mark. Anal plate and feet dark. Spiracles pale brown. Thoracic 
feet tinged with reddi.sh.

(Eai'ly stages not noted. The larva superiicially greatly 
resembles Schizura leptinoides and was at first mistaken for it.) 
Fourth larval stage. — Head high, slightly bilobed, flat before; sordid 
whitish with a vertical band on each side composed of brown-black dots 
confluent in streaks, continuous on its posterior edge but breaking up 
inwardly, the pair connected across the median suture by three more 
reddish, but similar bands which are indented on the suture and, joining 
there, border the clypeus. Markings on side of head also reddish, dotted, 
confusedly, broadly reticulate. Width 2.3 mm. A long, nutant process on 
joint 5 preceded by an elevation on joint 4 ; a slight hump on joint 9 and a 
little larger one on joint 12, bearing the whitish tubercles 1. Sides of joints 
2-4 sordid whitish, confusedly reticulate with bands of reddish dots which 
become blackish stigmatally and dorsally, forming a narrow stigmatal and
