Egg of Acronicta othello, superior and lateral aspects, en- larged X 40. Figure B. Pupa of Acronicta ot hello, lateral aspects, enlarged X 314. Drawing by the author. September 23, 1959. Penultimate instar. Length of larva, 27 mm. Head width, mm. The head is jet black except for two round spots of dark maroon on the crown, one on each side of the frontal suture. The adfrontals are gray- black, as are also the antennae, the labrum is a soiled yellow. The head is much obscured by a curtain of long arching white hairs which arise from the front of the first segment, and also by short setae arising on the face. The body is predominantly a soft velvety black. There are rows of spiculiferous nodules (verrucae) placed transversely around the middle of each segment. The most con- spicuous are a pair placed on each side of the middorsal area. Those on the 5th to 10th segments have orange-yellow nodules. Lateral thereto are a pair of smaller dull maroon nodules, placed superior to the spiracles. 25.
