The egg is pale green,elongated, shaped something like an acorn, with the basesmooth, convex and the circumference striated longitudinally,with about fourteen raised striae which are linear and smooth :the spaces between are about three times wider than the strue,depressed, concave in the middle, and ribbed by a number ofcross lines, fifteen to twenty between each stria, and distinctlyindented. The egg is contracted at the apex, the striae protrud-ing at the tip all around a little beyond the body of the larva hatched in six or seven days, and when fresh from the *The upper side of the wing-8 is figured on the left side, and the under sideon the right, in this and in FIGS. 184 and 254 LEPIDOPTERA. egg was about one-tenth of an inch long.

The head is bilobed, shining, black and hairy, andthe body above is greenish black, the greenish tinge mostapparent on the second and third segments, with a few smallyellowish dots along each side, and transverse rows of stronglyelevated, black tubercles, emitting numerous short, black hair-like spines. 11 The under surface is similar to the upper ; the feet are blackand shining, and the prolegs are black, tipped with a paler the second moult there are two fleshy tubercles on thesecond segmen
