Tany tarsus (?) sp. 



This is a very peculiar little larva from Saranac Inn N. Y. which 

 I doubtfully refer to Tanytarsus, though it may belong to 

 some one of the other genera, Chasmatonotus, Euryc- 

 n e m u s , etc., the larvae of which have not yet been described 

 as far as I am aware. 



Larva pale yellowish, length about 2.5 mm. It was found in a 

 little case constructed of grains of sand like those of some caddis- 

 flies. A dorsal view of the head is shown on pl.20, fig.lO. The 

 head is about li/4 times as long as wide, dark brown in color. 

 There are a number of setae upon the dorsal surface, distributed 

 as in the figure; on the posterior part are about 12 blunt tuber- 

 cles; at the base of each antenna (a) is a peculiar process with 

 sharp, finger-like projections (b). The antennae are wanting in 

 the single specimen, but judging from the size of the basal articu- 

 lations they are probably considerably elongated. The labrum 

 possesses prominent setae; the epipharynx is provided with the 

 usual transverse comb, prominent and elongate lateral arms, and 

 curved setae. The mandible is stout and has a prominent lateral 

 subapical seta. The maxilla has a prominent palpus, and the 

 labium has a toothed margin much resembling the one shown on 

 pl.22, fig.7, but with the central tooth somewhat wider and with 

 but 13 instead of 15 teeth. The anterior prologs have a number 

 of slender, curved, pale setae, not pectinate. Upon the dorsal 

 surface of the thoracic segments are a few long, slender, pale 

 setae. The posterior end of the abdomen is wanting in this 

 specimen.
