NO. 2156. SUBFAMILY ALEYBODINAE—QUAINTANCE d BAKER. 389 



Of these collections Quaintance No. 6752 has been selected as the 

 type lot on account of the abundance of the material. The species 

 is very striking on account of the large, sohtary, indented tooth 

 (comb) of the thoracic and caudal folds and on this account is very 

 easily separated from others in the genus. 



Pupa case (pi. 52, fig. 2).— Size 1.36 by 1.04 mm. Color dark 

 brown to black; under the microscope dark brown with median 

 darker pigmentation. The general appearance of dorsum under the 

 microscope is quite similar to that of coronatus, owing to the median 

 dark pigmentation. The margin is composed of moderate sized, 

 evenly rounded teeth and from these flutings extend for a short dis- 

 tance mesad. At the base of these flutings there is a row of minute 

 pores similar to those met with in several other members of the genus. 

 The abdominal segments are distinct only on the median dorsal area 

 and each segment possesses a transverse row of pores. The suture 

 separating the thorax and abdomen is short, not extending on each 

 side much more than halfway to the margin ; it is very little if at all 

 curved cephalad. The thoracic and caudal tracheal folds are armed 

 at their extremities with a prominent elongate tooth (pi. 49, fig. 20) 

 and this is situated within a distinct sinus. The latero-caudal setae 

 are long. The vasiform orifice (pi. 49, fig. 21) is subcircular in out- 

 Hne with the inner rim thickened caudad, and seemingly lobed; it is 

 nearly filled by the operculum. In some specimens the transverse 

 row of pores on the abdominal segments are not visible and in others 

 the thoracic area is covered with many minute pores. 



Adults. — Unknown. 



Described from pupa cases in balsam mounts and dry upon the 

 foliage. 



Eggs and a few larvae are present in the material, but as other 

 species are also present it is doubtful to which species they belong.

ALEUROPLATUS (ALEUROPLATUS) MYRICAE, new species. 



Plate 54, fig. 1; plate 53, figs. 1-4. 



Specimens of this species were taken by the senior author at Griffin, 

 Georgia, April 25, 1899. They were Uving on a plant believed to be a 

 species of Myrica. 



Pupa case (pi. 54, fig. 1.).— Size 0.832 by 0.512 mm. Shape 

 nearly elliptical; dorsum somewhat evenly arched ; suture separating 

 the thorax and abdomen very httle curved cephalad. Margin (pi. 53, 

 fig. 4) composed of shallow rounded teeth, but somewhat u-regular, 

 several teeth or groups of teeth being extended farther than the 

 others. Just within the margin there is a row of minute pore-like 

 structures not unhke those of coronatus and related species. Ab-
