Larva, first instar, lateral aspect, enlarged approx. x 2. B. Dorsal view of two typical segments of mature larva. C. Mature larva, lateral aspect, enlarged x 1%. Reproduced from painting by Comm. Charles M. Dammers. are absent along the segmental junctures except for a short space on the lateral surface. These segmental junctures are brick red superior to the spiracles and also as they cross the abdomen. In occasional specimens however this red is replaced with green. There is a thin black mid-dorsal stripe, lateral to which in proximity to each spine occurs a white patch. A thin white dorso-lateral line runs longitudinally, from the head to the 11th segment, but this is discontinuous at the segmental junctures. There is also a series of longitudinal white dashes placed supra- stigmatally, each dash crossing the segmental juncture and be- coming obsolescent in the center of the segment. A wide white line follows the infrastigmatal fold (overlap). The characteristic branching spines are all present. Those of the upper rows are a solid black, while the lower rows are black except for the yellow tips of the subsidiary branches. These lower spines have white hairs about their bases. The abdomen is concolorous with the dorsal and lateral surfaces. Spiracles, orange. Legs, black. Prolegs and anal prolegs, similar to body, the claspers pink. Head, black, profusely covered with long white hairs. Pupation occurs in a loosely woven cocoon formed in debris on the top of the soil. The egg, young larva (first instar), and mature larva are illustrated on Plates 36 and 37. 114.
