This species (Figure 22) is decidedly long and narrow in shape, varying from 

 1 to 6 mm. in length, and from 1-5 to 2 mm. in width. Due to the lack of covering,

which is but a very fine powdery wax, the segmentation of the body is very dis- 

 tinct. The body is slate colored, without distinct lateral or anal wax appendages. 

 The female encloses herself in a thin cottony sac, and one .such enclosed individual 

 can be seen in the figure. 



When boiled in K O H, the body becomes cardinal, while the legs and anten- 

 nae remain transparently yellow. 



The antennae are /-articled (Fig. 23 H), the articles are short and in many 

 cases wider than long. Article 3 is less than half as long as 8. The comparative 

 lengths of the others may be seen in the cut. The mouth-parts are slender — the 

 rostral loop, short. The legs (Fig. 24 H) are normal in length. The femur is 

 longer than the tibia, the tarsus nearly as long as the tibia. The anal lobes 

 (Fig. 25 H) are furnished with spines longer than the circumanal spines. The 

 whole pvgidium is rounded, and the segmentation indistinct ; there are 3 denticles 

 on either lobe, and few hairs on the bodv.
