LIMENITIS I. 
parts suffused with red; the top, sides, and cleft, red; the tubercles mostly col¬ 
ored like the ground they stand on. As the larva approached fourth moult the 
red parts became dull and at length mostly brown. (Fig. e.) To next moult 
6 days. 
r 
After fourth moult: length .6 inch : general color very much as immediately 
after third moult; shape, same ; segment 2 yellow-buff, mottled with black, 3 dark 
buff, immaculate, the ridge as before, and the processes, which are .06 inch long; 
4 is mottled buff, red and black, and on either side of the main ridge is a lower 
and narrower one; on the main ridge are no processes as before, but on all these 
ridges are round, glassy, bead-like tubercles, thickly set, and red colored ; on 
middle of dorsum of this segment, in front of the anterior row of these beads, are 
two similar beads, but large and ovoid, and directly in front of the space between 
these two are small round ones; on 6 the mammilloid processes are as before, and 
castaneous ; between them are four red beads, arranged in two pairs at anterior 
and posterior parts of the segment; there is also on this segment a posterior 
narrow ridge thickly set with beads; 6 is buff, largely red on dorsum, with a 
beaded ridge and scattered beads in front; the patch on 8 is blue-gray, and ex¬ 
tends partly over 7 and 9; 10 and 11 are alike, red with beads; on 10 are two 
small dorsal crested red tubercles, and on 11 two larger, these crests all yellowish; 
12 and 13 are red, mottled with black; the processes on 13 as at last stage ; on the 
sides, on several segments, are beads and small tubercles; the ridge at base of 
body is gray-buff, distinct on last segments ; feet and pro-legs red-brown; head 
nearly same shape as at last stage, rather broader in proportion, the tubercles 
similar, except at the vertices, where they are longer and larger, the largest 
of all obliquely truncated; color of both head and tubercles amber, the ocelli 
black. (Fig./.) 
Mature Larva. — Two days after fourth moult the red portion began to change 
to green, olive, and partly a light and deep green ; individuals varied in this re¬ 
spect ; the dorsal patch changed to sordid-buff, in one case to dull red-buff, in 
another to whitish, the anterior segments to gray or whitish, in one case to dark 
buff, the side stripe to pink, and on last segment to pure white; the beads from 
red to blue; the head became a dark drab. The larva at maturity was 1.2 
inches long. (Fig./* 2 .) Nine days after fifth moult it began to spin a button of 
white silk on the under side of a willow branch, and thirty-six hours later be¬ 
came chrysalis. 
Chrysalis. — Length .9 inch; sub-cylindrical, the abdomen somewhat com 
pressed laterally, and terminating rather abruptly; the edges of the wing-cases 
throughout very prominent and turned up, the middle area incurved; head-case 
long, narrow, and tapering, truncated, the vertices ending in two wavy ridges, the
