are uniform in color and markings. Antennae: left bipectinated, 

 male; right filiform, female. Bred specimen, emerged at St. 

 Petersburg January 27, 1901. 



Copulatory Apparatus (Figs. 7 and 8). 8th and 9th segments 

 female, with nearly normal apophyses anteriores and posteriores 

 (Figs. 7 and 8, a. a. and a. p.}. Papillae anales well developed, 

 symmetrical. Ostium bursae quite normal, strongly chitinized. 

 Bursa copulatrix normal, but lamella antevaginalis absent, the 

 postvaginalis in the form of a chitinous band (Fig. 7, /. p.}. On 

 the other hand, there is a penis, with its ccecum (Fig. 7, c. pn.}, 

 rather well developed and lying inside of the body cavity, but 

 capable of being protruded through a very narrow orifice in the 

 diaphragm. Uncus absent. Rudiments of tegumen in the form 

 of a more strongly chitinized left portion of the 9th tergite (Fig. 

 8, tgm.}. A well-developed left portion of the subscaphium 

 (Fig. 8, ssph.} lying below the left papilla analis. As to the valvae, 

 they are both present, but deformed, lying within the body cavity 

 and protruding only partially outside (Figs. 8 and 9, v. s. and v. d.}. 

 Lastly, an oviform structure lying freely in the body cavity on the 

 external surface of the right valvoid (Fig. 7, sac.?) may be 

 regarded as a rudiment of the saccus.
