They were scattered singly. The puparium of chlorogastra seems like- 

 wise to have the anterior spiracular tubes of a peculiar shape as 

 Weiss 1. c. describes them as "velus et démesuréments longs" ; these 

 two species thus seem to agree herein, in contradistinction to the 

 foUowing species and this is in favour of their being specifically 

 identical. The puparium of florea is mainly of the same shape and 

 circumference as that of rufipes; it is thus somewhat elHptical, arched

transversally on the ventral surface, more flat on the dorsal surface; 

 the greatest height lies in about the anterior third from here faOino- 

 ofT somewhat abruptly towards the head-end, more evenly towards 

 the posterior end; the surface is fmely shagreened. On pro- and meso- 

 thorax I could see no processes, but on metathorax there is a trans- 

 verse row of six small, conical processes at the front margin. The 

 abdominal segments are indistinctly divided into three corrugations, 

 and each segment bears a transverse row of six long, conical processes 

 set with hairs; the processes have an average length of 0,5 mm; 

 they are placed at about equal distance from each other, the lateral 

 process stand quite at the margin; the four median processes are 

 placed on the posterior corrugation at the hind margin, the lateral 

 processes a little more forwards, on the middle corregation. The row
