of the seta is everted from the middle portion on hatching, sometimes 
remaining incompletely so. No spines present on first emerging from 
the egg. Length, .9-1.7 mm. 
Stage II .—(Plate I, fig. 2.)—Rather elongated elliptical, tail 
rounded quadrate, joint 3 truncate in front. Setae normal, two on the 
subdorsal ridge, one on the lateral, distinct, long, sharp pointed. The 
middle row on the thorax is represented by two setae on joint 3, and by 
one only or a large and a small one on joint 4. Ridges distinct, the 
dorsum and sides concave. Head retracted; joint 2 partly so. Skin 
rather densely frosted with clear conic granules, not contiguous, no¬ 
where produced into secondary spines. Depressed spaces hardly indi¬ 
cated (1) as slight hollows, not differentiated by the granules and very 
small. Color pale whitish green, evenly tinted. Length, 1.6-2.5 mm. 
Stage III .—Narrowly elliptical, tail small, square. Dorsal and 
lateral spaces broad, sub ventral smaller. Ridges marked, high, seg- 
mentarily tubercular, the setae stiff, black, distinct. Color plate trans¬ 
lucent whitish green, a faint white line under the subdorsal ridge, not 
reaching either extremity. Skin with remote, low, rounded granules 
(Plate I, fig. 4), no spines anywhere. Depressed spaces small, shal¬ 
low, not sharp edged, smooth in the bottom. Length, 2.3-3.5 mm. 
Stage. IV. —Elliptical, tail produced a little and tapering, notched. 
Whitish green, a distinct white band below the skin of subdorsal ridge 
on joints 4-13. Lateral ridge prominent, even with the subventral 
edge or a little beyond it. Dorsal impressed whitish dots (1) distinct 
on the central segments, interrupting the faint green line of the dorsal 
vessel. Skin smooth except for the remote, irregular, clear granules, 
the surface slightly sunken to represent the depressed spaces. Length, 
3.5-5.2 mm. 
Stage. V .—Somewhat more like mature larva; tail truncate. Skin 
more densely clear granular, the granules nearly contiguous. Subdorsal 
ridge with a distinct yellowish white line on joints 3-13; a row of dor¬ 
sal dots (1), only five of them distinct (joints 5-9). Ridges gently un¬ 
dulating from the outline of rudimentary tubercles. Setae short, distinct. 
Depressed spaces indicated, but like the rest of the skin, granular. 
Color, translucent green, dark, not yellowish. Head green, eyes black. 
Length, 5.2-7 mm. 
Stage VI .—(Plate I, fig. 6.) Shape as described. Skin granules 
transparent, contiguous, covering the whole surface. Depressed spaces 
very small, the dorsal (1) smooth, whitish with green centers ; addorsal 
ones (2) absent on the surface, but represented by white dots below the
