PLATE 50 Larva and pupa of Simyra lienrici. a. Mature larva, lateral aspect. ft. Front view of head of larva. c. Pupa, lateral aspect. All figures enlarged x li/^. Drawing by Dammers Catabene esula Druce. This moth has, of late years, been taken in progressively in- creasing numbers in the cities and towns of southern California, doubtless as a result of the increased planting of Lantana as an ornamental hedge in parks and gardens. In a state of nature it probably feeds on native members of the Vcrhenaceae. Through the courtesy of Mr. Chris Henne of South Pasa- dena we were presented with eggs of this species which made pos- sible the following notes on its metamorphosis. Egg : Hemispherical, the base flat: micropyle small and slightly depressed. Height about three-fourths of the diameter at base. Color, light cream, with a few irregular light brown spots which seem to be buried in the substance of the egg. The surface is covered by a cross-hatching of ridges, of which there are about 25 running vertically, crossed by about 12 in the hori- zontal plane. The tgg is illustrated in Plate Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
