the action of caustic kali or acetic acid. There is, how'ever a lon~ 

 gitudinal band or streak extending from the two foremost pair of 

 dorsal hairs (vertical hairs) to the level of the 2d pair of legs 

 which lack these granules. By this characteristic the larva is imme- 

 diately recoguizable from those of Gl. cadaverum (Schrank). 



Nyniphae. Length 200 — 384 p. Also the nytnphae are immediately 

 recognizable by the ungrauulated long band, which now has 

 becorne more chitiuous, more limited, and simulatus a crista or 

 a rudiment of a dorsal shield as known in Thrombidium etc. 



The hypopial case is well described and delineated by Michael. 

 It too is provided with the crista. 



I, however, was not so fortunate as the English investigator 

 to find a hypopial mass within the single case I saw. 



Male (Pig. 28 — 32), — Length 320—400 (x. — Colour pale 

 straw coloured. — Shape generally oval, top forward ; sometimes 

 somewhat straight on sides and posteriorly. — Texture finely 

 granulate, except on the hard parts viz. the crista, the coxal 

 plates and the anal and genital covers. — Dorsal side (Fig. 28) 

 provided with six transverse rows of 4 hairs each. Like in Gl. 

 cadaverum (Schrank) the inner pair of the first rosv are moved 

 far forward, are placed so close together that the basal chitinous 

 rings touch each other. The second row is straight and placed a 

 little behind the implantation of legs 2. The third row is unbro- 

 ken, only curved a little forward. The fourth row is broken: 

 the inner pair is removed far backward so that it is even placed 

 between the two inner hairs of the following row ; this inner 

 pair is small, it does not reach the posterior edge of the body; 

 the outer pair is quite stiff. The fifth row is bowed forward; the 

 sixth row unbroken und straight. On the posterior edge moreover 

 two long hairs are planted which sometimes may assume a ventral 

 situation. 



Ventral side (Fig. 29). Epimera like in Gl. cadaverum (Schrank). — 

 The lateral hairs slightly before the coxal plates II; behind the 

 anus a row of 4 pairs of hairs, of which the third counted from 

 the anus is the longest, two times smaller that the posterior dorsal
