Automeris rubrescens. Hyperchiria rubrescens, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. vi. p. 1281.
Larva. Length 3; inches when full-grown. Head prominent, bright green. Body green ; laterally commencing at the fourth segment is a fold of skin below the stigmata ; this is white. edged above with a fine black line; stigmata yellow; below the lateral fold and beginning between segments 4 and 5, and then between each successive segment, is a purplish patch dotted with white. Prolegs yellowish ; abdominal legs outwardly purple dotted with white. Dorsally are four rows of long green spines having green branches ; laterally are two short green spines on segments 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10, and on the other segments only a single spine which is still smaller. It spins a large pale brown silky cocoon, generally between leaves.
Pupa. Length 13 inch, rather thick, dull black; wing-cases very slightly rough, but the thorax and head more so; on the latter, and also along the segments dorsally, are scattered a few very minute brown hairs. Began cocoons on Aug. 19th, and the first moths emerged on Sept. 24th.
Very common at Jalapa, Mexico.

Larva. Length 34-4 inches and rather stout in build. Head dull black. Body velvety black ; stigmata white. Dorsally are four rows of spines, except on the eleventh segment which has only three, the twelfth segment which has five, and the last segment which has none. Laterally, on segments 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11 are two rows, and on segments 6, 7, 8, and 9 a single row of shorter spines. All the spines are yellow with yellow branches, except the following, which are entirely white—the four dorsal spines on segments 2 and 3, the inner two dorsal spines on segment 4, the three dorsal spines on segment 11, and the five on segment 12. The spines dorsally are of about equal length, except on the first two segments, where they are longer. Prolegs and abdominal legs shining black. Spins on the bark of trees a large leathery cocoon of a deep brown colour; this at one end is especially thin and provided within with a perforated lid of the same texture, which is attached to the cocoon at one point only. The cocoons vary in length from 14-24 inches and are very irregular in shape. ‘The pupa is from | inch(¢) to 13 (2) im length, and of a deep black. ‘The thorax and head very rough, but the wing-cases very slightly so.
Extremely abundant at Banderilla, a short distance from Jalapa, Mexico.

Larva. Length 1? inch. Very pale green; dorsally four indistinct narrow yellowish bands, the outer ones faintly edged with maroon; laterally, on segments 6 to 11, six large white spots, rather oblong in shape, and bordered above and below with maroon. Prolegs, abdominal legs, and anal lappet reddish. Dorsally four rows of green spines with green branches—on segment 12, however, only three. The dorsal spines on the first two segments are longer and tipped with black; laterally a single entire row of spines and a smaller row below them on segments 2 to 6 and 11 to13. Spins between dried leaves a thin and large cocoon of irregular shape.

Body light green, becoming yellowish before transforming ; dorsally are four rows of spines, which are longest on segments 2, 3, and 13; on segment 12 the two inner spines are replaced by a single subdorsal spine, and segment 13 has an extra subdorsal spine placed poste- riorly, Stigmata white, edged with black ; laterally, below the stigmata, a row of short ereen spines and a smaller spine again below these on segments 2 to 6, 11, and 13.
24 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA.
Between the segments an irregular transverse band of black markings; subdorsally and centrally on each segment a black spot, and there are three little black lines between the inner and outer rows of dorsal spines. Between the lateral rows of spines is a broad black band extending the entire length, and having anteriorly and posteriorly on each segment a reddish spot; this extends somewhat underneath; otherwise underneath pale green. Prolegs, abdominal and anal legs reddish. Forms an oval and thin parch- ment-like cocoon on the bark of trees, usually under growing moss.
Both in the larval and imago state this species closely resembles the moth figured as rivulosa in Cramer, pl. 107 a, the larva of which is figured by Stoll, pl. 17. fig. 4, and eventually they may prove to be the same species. Molippa sabina is one of the commonest species in Tropical America, and in Mexico and Southern Brazil is double brooded.
I can see no reason for placing Molippa, Ormiscodes, Hylesia, Dirphia, and other allied genera from Tropical America under the Lasiocampide ; these genera are too closely allied in all stages to Automeris and Hyperchiria to admit of “ family ” separation.
