of the same species, is not, to be entirely overlooked, even though it be highly
improbable. The discuvery of sr.cl1
appendages on a Trichopterous larva
would, indeed, be sufficiently surprising. The gills of Tricliopterous larvae are
simple or tufted filaments; and the
larvae of (.lie Hydroptilidae, so far as known, do not possess even these.
Stout processes, articulated at the sides of the abdomen and arranged segmen-
tally are entirely unknown in this order, but occur in certain Coleopterous and
Ncuroplerous larvae. Most like the
appendages of our prepupa are the
lateral filaments of the-larvae of Sialidae, especially, of Sialis : here the several jointed lateral processes are articulated to the sides of the abdomen. In
Sisyra and Climaria (family Hemero-
biidae of Neuroptera) are similar, jointed filaments directed toward the midventral line beneath the abdomen.
I am inclined to believe that these
appendages are inherited from some
remote, primitive Neuropterous type. I
regard them as belonging in the same
category as the large, transitory mandi- bles of the pupa.

GROUP CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME NORTH AMERICAN BUT- TERFLIES - 11.
BY SAMUEL H. SCUDDER, CAMBRIDGE, MASS.
Subfamily EUPLOEINAE.
Mature caterfilhzr : Head smooth, un-
crowned. Body cylindrical, tapering

greater or less number of lateral ranged fleshy protuberances or filaments, never with spines, and gaily and brightly
colored, generally with transverse stripes. Feeds almost exclusively on Asclepiada-
ceae and Solenaceae. Chrysalis : With
no conspicuous prominences, all the part rounded, the thorax and abdomen gener-
ally not deeply separated, the appen-
clages not raised above the general curve of the body, the abdomen plump, or with
some portion of the body specially plump. Tribe LIMNAINI.
Butterfly: Males provided on hind
wings with one or more spot-like pockets concealing androconia, or a surface patch or patches of androconia (wanting in
some paleogean genera), but no rows of
erect hairs. Females with short and
club shaped fore tarsi. Egg: (Distinc-
tion from Ithomyini not known)
Cater-
filllrr at birth:
Some of the body seg-
ments provided, besides the ranged
bristles, with low roughened tubercles.
Mature caterpillar: Body furnished with
slender and filamentous appendages ;
otherwise naked ; markings mostly trans- verse. Feeds on Asclepiadaceae. Chry-
salis: Dorsally very tumid at about the
third abdominal segment, often trans-

not unusually prominent.
