Elsewhere, some scattered simple hairs, stout and clavate, but .07 mm. long. Length mm. Greatest breadth mm. Pupation takes place in debris about, or at the base of the food-plant. We are indebted to Theodore Childs, Jr., of Riverside, for the privilege of examining and making drawings of pupae that were reared by him from eggs taken near Azusa, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
