A few are long, and brown in color, many are grayish-white and of medium length, while the majority are short, and of a bufif shade. The grayish-white hairs terminate in small transparent glob- ules, which give the larva somewhat the appearance of being in- fested with mite eggs. The dorsal line of tufted hairs inclines medially, thus meeting over the dorsum, while the lower series extend horizontallv and lie flat on the plant food. This aspect of the larva is admirably shown on Plate PLATE 5 Anterior aspect of larva of Calephelis nemesis Edw. enlarged, showing the manner in which the dorsal series of hairs arch over the medial surface of larva, while the lateral series incline infero-laterally and lie fiat on the surface of food plant. Drawing by Dammers. Stigmata invisible. Legs, prolegs and abdomen, pale green. Larva, first instar. Body, brown. The tufts of hair are represented by simple long brown hairs. In succeeding instars, the hairs composing the tufts increase in number, and are mainly of the gray-white variety, but lack the globules at their ends. The stellate silvery nodules on the body are fewer in number compared with the last instar. The seg- ments are more brown in aspect and yellow blotches occur above the lateral series of hair tufts. One larva pupated Nov. 17th, the other Dec. 29th. The lateral aspect of mature larva is illustrated in Plate 6. 13.
