Wings numerously veined, the accessory veins of the radial sector ex- tending backward from R2 in both pairs of wings, and media has more than two branches [fig. 26]; hind wings broad at base and folded in the anal area when at rest; wing expanse 100 to. Fig. 26 Fore wing of Corydalis cornuta x2 150mm. Tarsi cylindric; male caudal appendages long and usually strongly forcipate; in the female they are short and simple. Larva. When full grown, the larva is about 80 to 90 mm long. The general color is dusky; the head and thorax are supplied above with pretty figured markings; the whole body is supplied with black clavate projections except in the intersegmental folds and on the parts heavily clothed with chitin. The last four or five segments of the abdomen taper toward the caudal end of the body. The first eight segments of the abdomen are each pro- vided with a pair of unjointed lateral filaments, 0> to 7 mm long, somewhat clothed with hairs; the first seven of these segments are each provided with a pair of ventral lulls of tracheal uills. Spiracles are found on each of (he first eighl abdominal seg- ments and on the fold between the prothorax and the meso- thorax, and a rudimentary pair on a fold between the meso- thorax and the metaI horax. On the last abdominal segment are. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page i
