around which the chitin is somewhat thickened. They are 
better developed wherever the surface of the larvae is exposed, 
reaching their extreme development in the lateral fringe, and 
on the three lateral spines of the tail. For the commoner 
type that which covers the greater part of the upper surface 
of the body the thickened ring supporting the modified hair 
is produced into a tubercle in the hollow apex of which is set 
the hair which broadens out after a short stalk into a flaring 
funnel- or umbrella-shaped organ, not unlike some fungi. 
FIG. 14. Head and prothorax of unde- 
termined ."coleopterous larva enlarged about 
16 diameters. 
Those on the sides of the head point slightly forward and only 
the forward part of the flaring lip is produced, and the reverse 
is true of the tail. The three lateral spines of the tail (Fig. 
12, A) and the teeth of the lateral fringe (Fig. 13) represent 
the most exaggerated form of this vestiture the tubercles 
being lengthened to about four times their width, and support- 
ing an irregularly fluted, triangular scale. 
The head (Fig. 14) tapers anteriorly and is slightly constricted 
about the middle, with a single ocellus in the constriction on the 
side just behind the antennae, which are apparently two- jointed ; 
basal joint very small; second joint extremely large, flattened, 
concave, smooth, and without vestiture on the under side; 
its upper surface slightly convex and sparsely studded with 
coarse, scale-bearing tubercles similar to those on the body.
