e Seventh Report of the State Entomologist of Illinois, that 
3, the occurrence of the species at Carbonclale is noted by 
rench, brief descriptions of larva and imago are given, and 
i is made of its injuries to the rose. 
If 
scription of a larva of an allied species, Pyrrhia angulata, 
mg to some authors identical with this), was given by Mr. 
Jit in the first volume of Papilio (1881). In Volume X of the 
ctions of the American Entomological Society (1888), Mr. J. 
th figures the fore wing of both these species, (considering 
% a variety of umbra), and quotes Mr. Coquillet’s description 
larva of the former. By Smith the species is placed under 
us Cliariclea. On page 259 of the same volume, Mr. A. R. 
)bjects to this generic assignment and insists upon Pyrrhia 
proper generic name for the species, not considering Cliariclea 
>geneous group, as defined by its author. He also insists 
re specific distinctness of angulata . In the third volume of 
, pages 135-86, Messrs. Edwards and Elliot give descriptions 
full-grown larva and pupa of this species under the name of 
h exprimens, and mention Desmodium as a food plant. 
DESCRIPTION. 
a .—The full-grown larva is 1.36 inches in length, pale bluish 
tbove and greenish beneath, with a bright lemon-yellow stripe 
he side, including the stigmata, and above this a pale bluish 
if about the same width heavily bordered with black above 
neath. The dorsal and sub-dorsal regions are pinkish bluish 
marked with irregular specks and lines having a tendency to 
,3 themselves in five black stripes most conspicuous on the 
and third thoracic segments. 
head is pale chestnut, inclined to orange; cervical shield 
covered by eight large square black blotches in two rows of 
,eh, the middle blotches of the posterior row being much the 
of all; abdominal segments each with four large conspicuous 
us black tubercles upon the dorsum, one in front of the spiracle, 
d below the edge of the yellow stripe, and another above the 
1 the proleg. The jointed legs are all black, prolegs shining 
vithout and dusky at the tip. The anal segment is widely 
>d with black posteriorly, and a broad black patch extends 
l from the middle of this arc. On the two segments preced- 
s, the dorsal piliferous tubucles are much more conspicuous 
isewhere. Spiracles black. 
h .—The pupa is three-fourths of an inch in length, shining, 
t*own, the spiracles slightly darker, surface smooth except for 
arge punctures on the abdominal segments; abdomen termi- 
in two slender, slightly hooked spines. 
o .—The front wings and thorax of the imago are brownish 
' varied with yellowish, hind wings pale yellow at base, brown- 
on posterior half. Examined with a glass the brown color 
front wings is seen to be irrorate with reddish scales. Trans- 
.nterior line red, zigzag with three angulations; orbicular well 
l, of the ground color of the wing ringed with red. Middle
