PLATE 24 Mature larva of Abagrotis mirahilis Grt. A. Typical segments of larva in dorsal aspect. B. Lateral view of larva. Figures enlarged approx. X 2. Reproduced from painting by Charles M. Dammers into olive-brown irregular spots along the inner margin of each segment, which gives the appearance of a dark triangular patch, the apex of the triangle pointing medially towards its fellow of the opposite side. Inferior to this area is a broad band which is longitudinally striped with fine crenulated discontinuous olive brown lines. These tend to be slightly darker in the lower half of the band. This band terminates inferiorly at a narrow black longitudinal stripe, placed substigmatally. Along its lower margin this black stripe is edged with white. The lower half of the body below the substigmatal line is striped with fine crenulated pale brown broken lines. Spiracles , soiled white, with narrow black rims. Legs, color- less. Prolegs, colorless, the terminal pads pink, with brown crochets. Each typical segment bears 12 short colorless setae, arising from black points. Pupation took place under the soil late in April, and a single imago emerged June 10, 1934. This specimen is pictured on our Plate 26, fig. C' Feralia TMomophaxa) februalis Grt. One of the earliest moths to appear on the wing in California is the aptly named Feralia februalis. This handsome green noctuid 116.
