The larva is of an obscure gray or greenish color, with dull brownish yellow or rosy stripes, and with its skin rough with small white warts. There is a row of short spines on each segment, and two long spines on the mesothorax. The Orange-striped Oak-worm, Anisota senatoria (A. sen- a-to^ri-a).—The wings of the female are more thickly scaled than in the preceding species and are sprinkled with numer- ous blackish dots ; in other respects the two are quite similar in coloring. The male differs from that of A, virginiensis in lacking the large transparent space on the middle of the wings. The larva is black, wath four orange-yellow stripes on the back and two along each side; its spines are similar to those of the preceding species. The Spiny Oak-worm, Anisota stigma (A. stig'ma).—The female closely resembles that of A, senatoria; and as both species are variable it is sometimes difficult to determine to which a given specimen belongs. In A, stigma the wings are rather darker and have a greater number of blackish spots, and the hind wings are furnished with a middle band which is heavier and more distinct than in A, senatoria. The male differs from that of the other two species in quite closely.
