Lower figure, pupa, lateral aspect, enlarged approximately x 2. Reproduced from painting by Comm. Charles M. Dammers Pupation takes place at the base of the foodplant. In some cases a very fragile silk cocoon is spun, while in others this is lacking. Specimens collected on March 5, 1933, began to form pupae on March 19 of the same year. Pupa. Length of the largest example, 14 mm. Color, uniform dark chestnut. The texture is shiny. Wing cases pro- portionately very small and closely appressed. Abdomen heavily arched and thick. Caudal end rounded. A view of the lateral aspect of this pupa is shown on Plate 25, lower figure. Imagos began emerging from the above lot on April 2, 1933. This species is seldom taken on the wing, and we have seen no record of its capture at light. It is best secured by rearing the larva. 132.
