PLATE 23 Early stages of Hemihyalea edicardsii Pack. A. Egg, enlarged X 8. B. Larva, lateral aspect, enlarged X II/2. C. Pupa, lateral aspect, enlarged X li/4. Reproduced from painting by Charles M. Dammers Henry Edwards states that eggs deposited on April 24th pro- duced young larvae on May 5th. The newly emerged larvae are black, with very long hairs. In southern California larvae are full grown in July and pupate shortly thereafter. They are nocturnal feeders. During the day they may be found among the leaves at the base of the tree or hidden in the crotches or old scars in the bark. AIature larva : Length, fully extended, 38 to 48 mm. Head, large; glistening dark brown, covered with short brown hairs. Ocelli, black. ]\Iouth parts, colorless. Body ground color, velvety brownish black, except for the abdominal area and prolegs, which are soiled yellow. The body is densely clothed with moderately long rich brown hairs grouped in a series of tufts. From each tuft there also arises one or two long chestnut hairs. Each segment bears ten of these tufts, and an additional pair are also present in the mid-dorsal area on the third to eleventh segments. All tufts arise from dark brown tubercles. Legs, chestnut. Crochets, brown. Spiracles, orange. The mature larva is illustrated on Plate 23, fig. B. 114.
