later dusky. Terminal joint yellow at base, changing into orange, 

 pinkish brown, orange and yellow towards the tip. This pinkish 

 brown colour is characteristic of all the instars of this species. 

 Terminal joint longest; 1\ times that of the third joint and 

 slightly thicker. It is thickly covered with hairs, other joints 

 fewer hairs. 



Legs short, thick, at first pale, then turn yellowish green and 

 dusky, tarsi almost black. Femora light green with a few black 

 hairs slightly longer than those on the body. Tibia slender with 

 more and longer hairs. Tarsi 2-jointed, the terminal joint being 

 the longer. Two black curved claws with transparent aroliae. 



Proboscis greenish yellow with a black tip; reaches to about 

 the middle coxae. 

 Instar II (PI. IX, fig. 6). Length l-5-2'2 mm. Resembles Instar I in 

 shape. At first yellowish with transparent appendages but soon becomes 

 darker. The body is distinctly greener than Instar I. The smoky shades 

 present on the head, thorax and abdomen are now absent. The pale mid- 

 dorsal line on the abdomen and thorax bifurcating on the head is still 

 present. 



Characteristic differences. Nearly double as long. Terminal joint 

 of antenna shghtly longer than joint II; joint II distinctly longer than 

 joint III. Posterior margin of mesonotum slightly emarginate. 



Head large, no groove present; yellow with Y-shaped pale line 

 present. Eyes deep red, and the number of facets has increased. 

 Thorax, shape as Instar I. 



Pronoium trapeziform, anterior margin slightly narrower than 

 the posterior; two callosities present. 



Abdomen pyriform; longer than broad. No smoky shade on 

 segment I. The yellow mid-dorsal abdominal gland is still present 

 on segment III and its lips are well marked. 

 Appendages. 



Antennae medium sized, slender — colour as in Instar I ; basal 

 joint thickest; terminal joint longest, slightly longer than joint II. 

 Legs similar to Instar I but longer. 



Proboscis reaches to about the middle coxae, colour as in 

 Instar I. 

 Instar III (PI. X, fig. 7). Length 2-1-2-8 mm. Outline and colour 

 as Instar II ; mid-dorsal line faint. 



Characteristic structural peculiarities. The second joint of the antenna 

 has increased relatively more than the other joints. Terminal joint of
