MEMOIES OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 7a Fig. 31i represents the freshly hatched larva of Hepialiis mtistelinus, mm. lu length. Thehead is no wider than the prothoracic segment, whose dorsal plate is well developed. The month-parts are qnite large, especially the spinneret, while the hairs, which are acnte at the end, are inthis stage as long as the body is broad. Fig. 31i, A shows the arrangement of the one-hairedtubercles on the thoracic and first abdominal segment, and fig. 31i, B those on the four terminalsegments. The abdominal legs appear to have at this stage only ten crochets, or at leastvery
