ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Thanks go to the following for criticism of 

 this manuscript during preparation: E. H. 

 Ahlstrom, D. P. de Sylva, C. P. Idyll, and William 

 J. Richards. Barbara Palko assisted in rearing 

 the larvae. Illustrations of larvae were pre- 

 pared by Joy Godfrey. Thomas Potthoff cleared 

 and stained specimens used to determine se- 

 quence of ossification. Gay Ranallo translated 

 parts of pertinent Italian literature. Thomas 

 Rebel provided the two large juvenile specimens 

 used in this study.
