median lobe; two long, well marked processes adjoining 

 shallow first incision; two smaller processes at sides of second 

 incision. Ventral grouped glands situated well forward, 

 coudolateral groups opposite the vaginal orifice: median, six 

 to seven; cephalolateral, nine to eleven; caudolateral, eight 

 to nine. 



This is an English species, imported into the U. S. It 

 has been reported from Almeda, Cal.* and has recently been 

 received at the Dept. of Agr. from several pomts in the coun- 

 try (Cockerell). 



This species does not appear to assume any definite place 

 with relation to American forms. It is doubtless represent- 

 ative of a European group, corresponding to the American 

 group of foi'bcsi, a7icylus, pcrniciosns, etc.
