PARTIAL PREPARATORY STAGES OF CATOCALA INNUBENS, Guen
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
April 28, 1887, a single larva of then unknown Catocal was found on a Honey Locust which proved to be this species. By its appearance it had seemingly passed the first moult. Hence the egg and first stage of the larva is lacking in this account of its life history. If my conjecture be true, my description will begin with the conventional “after the first moult.” Length .26 inch. Color pale greenish, the anterior two and posterior three joints whitish; four purplish red stripes on each side, the lower somewhat broken; head mottled, but not heavily so; piliferous spots black, with short black hairs. Shape as usual with Catocala larvæ. Duration of this period unknown.
