Figs. 78, 115, and 147. 

 Shelford, reared, larvae in collection of the University of Illinois. 



Color. — Head and pronotum bright coppery bronze with a strong 

 bhie reflection; setae on dorsal aspect of head and pronotum trans- 

 parent or glassy, the other setae brown. 



Head. — Setae on dorsal aspect fine and inconspicuous; diameter 

 of ocellus 2 distinctly greater than the distance between ocelli 1 

 and 2; fronto-clypeo-labral area as long as broad; U-shaped ridge 

 on the caudal part of the frons bearing four or six setae, the two 

 middle ones larger than the others; antenna, with the proximal 

 segment slightly shorter than the second, the third about two-thirds 

 and the fourth one-third the length of the second, the proximal 

 segment with five or six setae and the second with nine or ten ; 

 maxilla with the proximal segment of the galea bearing three setae 

 on its mesal margin, maxillary palpus two-segmented, the first and 

 second segments fused and together as long as the distal segment; 

 ligula with four fine setae on the ventro-distal end arranged in a 

 transverse row, proximal segment of labial palpus with three spine- 

 like projections on the ventro-distal margin and with two setae on 

 each side of these spines, the proximal segment with four setae and 

 the distal segment with one. 



Thorax. — Pronotum with the cephalo-mesal portion extending 

 distinctly cephalad of the cephalo-lateral angles, lateral margins 

 not carinate, primary setae small and not conspicuous, secondary 

 setae short, fine, and numerous (fig. 78). 



Abdomen. — Chitinized areas indistinct; secondary setae few, short, 

 and inconspicuous (fig. 115) ; ninth abdominal sternum with the 

 caudal margin bearing two groups of three setae each : median
