in the larva, but seemingly lacking the thick tapering spines. Margin 

 composed of moderately sized teeth which are serrate; from these 

 there extends mesad a series of irregular suture-like markings, which, 

 however, do not extend so far as in variegatus. There is, on the 

 other hand, the same thickened area mesad of the marginal comb of 

 the thorax, and it is covered with the same minute circular markings, 

 but these also extend mesad from it. A similar thickened area and 

 a similar row of markings are found caudad of the vasiform orifice. 

 Latero-cephalad of the orifice there is a pair of rather short spines. 

 The orifice itself (pi. 49, fig. 8) is subcircular in outUne, tliickened 

 latero-caudad; the operculum nearly fills the orifice and is striate 

 above. 



On leaf the case is jet black and surrounded by a conspicuous 

 fringe of dirty white or yellowish wax, amorphous basally in the 

 more mature specimens, but with numerous lighter pencils or 

 threads of wax radiating from the case, extending well beyond the 

 amorphous portion. In less advanced pupa cases the amorphous 

 basal wax is mostly absent, and the radiating wax pencils are very 

 conspicuous. 



Adult female. — The fragmentary condition of the available speci- 

 mens of the female will not permit of a good description. They are 

 yellow in color with dark brown eyes and unmarked udngs. The 

 body is about 0.8 mm. long and the forewings measure about 1.04 

 mm. in length. 



Ad^dt male. — Unknown. 



Described from eggs, larvae, pupa cases, and fragmentary females 

 in balsam mounts. 



Type.— Csit. No. 19193, U.S.N.M. 



The specimens on Eugenia micJielii are somewhat lighter than 

 typical, have a slightly more pronounced constriction across the 

 thoracic folds, and the abdominal segments are not so distinct.
