LIMENITIS I. 
wanting. This was captured in the Catskills. Another, from same district, has 
the band on upper side narrow and macular, and only pure white from inner 
margin to cell, the remainder being crocked and indistinct; on secondaries the 
band is very narrow and ends at the first branch of sub-costal nefvure, and 
nearly the whole area outside to margin is blue. 
Egg. — Shape nearly spherical, flattened at base; the whole surface covered 
by hexagonal reticulations, forming cells which are roundly but shallowly exca¬ 
vated ; from each angle of the cell arises a short, tapering, white, filamentous 
spine : color grayish-green. (Figs, a, a 2 magnified.) Duration of this stage 7 to 
9 davs.

Young Larva. — Length, .09 inch; cylindrical, thickest at segments 3 to 5, 
tapering gradually and slightly to 13 ; color yellow-brown; covered with fine 
concolored tubercles, each giving out a short, white, clubbed hair; on segments 
3, 4, 5, 6, and 12, is one prominent conical tubercle of darker color on either side 
of dorsum, those on 3, 6, and 12 largest; under side, feet, and pro-legs, yellow- 
brown-; head much broader than body, sub-globose, narrowing a little towards 
top, bilobed, glossy brown. (Figs, b b 2 , magnified.) The larva rests mostly on 
its ventral legs, the anterior segments being raised and somewhat arched. To 
first moult eisdit davs. 
O «/ 
After first moult: length, .19 inch; color, blackish-brown; on 8 is a light- 
brown patch, covering the dorsum and part of sides; along base, over feet, a 
* fleshy ridge; segment 2 is narrow ; on segments after this there is one broad 
ridge, followed in most cases by two narrow ones, and these last are thickly set 
with small tubercles of irregular sizes, conical, each with short, whitish hair; on 
3 the broad ridge is considerably elevated dorsally, and at each end is a tawny 
conical process, crowned by a cluster of little fleshy knobs, dark and light; 
between these are two small ones with little crowns; on 4 the elevation is less, 
and there are four small and equal crowned processes in line; on 6, also ele¬ 
vated, are two large ones with crowns, and on 12 are two; on each of the in¬ 
tervening segments are two small similar ones, and on all the segments, from 
4 to 11, are two small simple tubercles on the anterior part of the segment 
between the larger ones; these dorsal processes form two longitudinal rows, and 
are concolored with the ground they stand on; there is also a lateral row of 
small crowned processes, and others more irregular are placed on the basal 
ridge; feet and pro-legs, black ; head obovate, truncated, and depressed at top, 
the vertices rather high, and each bearing a short, black, compound process; 
color black, the surface rough, and thickly covered with conical tubercles, those 
at top, sides, and along the upper part of face, being largest, and mostly yellow- 
brown ; remainder black. (Figs, c c 2 , magnified.) To next moult 6 days.
