Egg. .9 mm. broad by half as high. Color: delicate green- ish white. Texture: minutely granular, but free of reticulations. The shape is hemispherical, with a slightly depressed microphyle of a darker shade. Laid on Bermuda grass. See figure a, Plate 16. Larva. Length 14 mm. Head: glistening black, free of hairs, except for a few colorless bristles about the mouth parts. The true ocelli are l)lack, and have a small straw colored patch anterior to them. Body : color, dark olive green, profusely covered with minute black nodules, surrounded with dark green bases, each nodule bearing a microscopic black single hair. A dark greenish-brown mid-dorsal line runs the entire length of body, except for a short space anteriorl}- and caudally. where it becomes gradually obso- lescent. The first cervical segment bears a black transverse line or collar, which occupies the posterior two-thirds of the segment. A very faint suggestion of a light sub-stigmatal line occurs. True legs, black. Prolegs, olive green. Spiracles, small, dark brown—the posterior one being fully twice the size of the others. The illustration, Plate 16, fig. b., accuratelv depicts the form. 30.
