Body, pale green, sparingly cov- ered with short brown pile. Sub-dorsally and along the infra- stigmatal fold there occurs a soiled white raised narrow band, having a reddish area at the center of each segment. Cervical shield, reddish. Abdomen, legs and prolegs, pale green. Spir- acles not discernible. Head, pale olive-green, with brown mouth parts. Fourth and final instar. July 16. Length, extended, 16 mm. Body apple green, sparingly covered with short thick chestnut hairs, those on the top of the center of each segment being much longer. Sub-dorsally, on the second to ninth segments there is a yellowish white ridge which continues inferiorly to the line of the spiracles. In some examples this ridge has a reddish blotch on each side at its highest point. The infra-stigmatal fold is yellowish-white and in some ex- amples has a reddish suffusion on its upper side at the center of each segment. Spiracles, pale brown, with lighter rims. Abdomen, pale apple green, sparingly covered with white hairs. At the center of each segment on a line half way between the infrastigmatal fold and the line of the top of the legs, a raised yellowish-white band.
