NO. 1362. ALEYRODIDS OF CALIFORNIA— BEMTS. 525 



Vasiforiu orifice .small, with a heavy j'ellow rim that is darker than 

 the surroiuKling dorsum; the inner lateral and caudal margins with 

 conspicuous folds or corrugations, which extend into the cavity of the 

 oritice; operculum less than one-third length of orifice, .subtrapezoi- 

 dal. cephalic margin straight, caudal truncate, setose on distal margin; 

 lingula short, projecting beyond the operculum, distal end enlarged, 

 dor.sally convex and densely setose. Cephalad of the vasiform oritice 

 there are two crescent-shaped thickenings in the tegument of ca.se, and 

 a shallow furrow extends caudad to margin of case. On the ventral 

 surface the uusegmented reduced legs are distinctly seen; the antennae 

 are nonsegmented. broad, reduced, and end in a tinger-like process. 

 Eyespots of the younger pupa are a bright dark red in color and are 

 not facetted; in the older specimens thej' are large, very dark in color, 

 with the edges reddish, and are strongly constricted in the middle. 



Adnltx. — (^Slale and female, bred from segregated pupa cases.) 

 Abdomen, legs, and antennas whitish-yellow in color, head and thorax 

 darker yellow. Wings immaculate, but so crumpled that the}' can 

 not be accurately described in detail. Eyes undivided, stronglv con- 

 stricted through the middle; color, by transmitted light, black with 

 reddish edges. 



2r((h'. — Length, 0.95 mm.; hind femur, 0.25 mm.; hind tibia, 0.33 

 mm.; hind tarsus, 0.183 mm. Fourth antennal segment much shorter 

 than usual, about four-fifths length of segment seven. 



i^T/irt/<.— Length, 1.1 mm.; antenna^ about 0.4 mm.; the fourth and 

 seventh segments equal, each approximately O.OT mm.

Collected on under sides of the leaves of Qucrcns densiflom at La 

 Honda, April 18, 1901, and again on King's Mountain, May It), 1902; 

 only a few i.solated specimens found.

 Plate XXVII, tigs. 5, 5a, and Plate XXXV, tig. 61. 



PujM case,~S\zQ, 0.93 mm. by 0.6 mm.; shape subelliptical, slightly 

 narrowed cephalad and frequently truncate on caudal margin; color, 

 by reflected light, dark brown with yellowish margin, by transmitted 

 light the marginal rim, vasiform oritice, the furrow to caudal margin, 

 and the sutures are a semitransparent yellow. There is no lateral 

 fringe; the vertical, ventral fringe is short and usually remains upon 

 the leaf when the pupa case is removed. 



The dor.sal secretion con.sists of a submarginal series of small crys- 

 talline rods, usually more than half width of case, which may be sepa- 

 rate or more or less coalesced. Case rather llat; dorsum ])unctate, 

 the minute depressions in the outer portion taking the form of irregu- 

 lar somewhat radiating striations. Scattered over the entire dorsum
