A brief note con- cerning the larva was published by Packard in the Hay den Survey,3 and Stretch has given a description of the larva and cocoon,4 and reproduced a very poor figure of the caterpillar on Plate 10, Fig. 1, of that work. Since the last quoted book is not accessible to the average entomologist, it is felt that a brief description of the larva, and a reproduction from an actual photograph, will serve a useful purpose. See Plate PLATE 41 Mature larva of Platyprepia guttata, enlarged. Photo by Menke Mature larva: body black, the first three segments clothed with dense rust-red hairs; the remaining segments with very long silky white hairs, mingled with black along the sides, and a few rusty hairs on the anal segments. 3 Hayden's Survey of the Territories, 1873, p. 559. 4 Zygaenidae and Bombycidae of N. Am., p. 71, 1873. 149.
