  white, 
  mandibles 
  black, 
  a 
  black 
  line 
  on 
  postero-lateral 
  

   margin 
  of 
  head; 
  dorsal 
  tubercles 
  of 
  two 
  rows 
  beginning 
  with 
  

   segment 
  three, 
  in 
  each 
  row, 
  two 
  per 
  segment 
  except 
  segment 
  

   four; 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  tiny 
  tubercles, 
  one 
  per 
  segment, 
  just 
  antero- 
  

   ventral 
  to 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  dorsal 
  tubercles 
  in 
  segments 
  live 
  

   to 
  twelve; 
  the 
  spiracles

  segments 
  five

  have 
  a

   of 
  four 
  tubercles

  by 
  their 
  union 
  on

   segments

  three 
  of 
  these, 
  a

  spiracle

  a

  of 
  tubercles

  (those

  ; 
  the 
  ventral 
  tubercles 
  have 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  

   hairs, 
  others

  posterior 
  

   margin 
  of 
  abdominal

  tiny 
  short 
  hairs 
  where 
  there 
  

   were 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  larva; 
  wing-cases 
  a 
  little 
  pointed, 
  extending 
  to 
  

   posterior 
  margin 
  of 
  fourth 
  abdominal 
  segment, 
  one 
  pair 
  of 
  leg- 
  

   cases 
  extends 
  a 
  little 
  farther, 
  about 
  half 
  way 
  on 
  the 
  fifth 
  segment; 
  

   cremaster 
  very

  The 
  

   pupa

  found 
  in

  slight 
  cocoon 
  inside 
  the 
  vine 
  where 
  the 
  larva

  In 
  the 
  discussion 
  following 
  these 
  papers, 
  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  said 
  

   that 
  although 
  he 
  had 
  tried 
  many 
  expedients 
  for 
  breeding 
  para- 
  

   sites 
  from 
  Ceroplastes 
  rubens, 
  he 
  had 
  so 
  far 
  not 
  met 
  with 
  success. 
  

   The 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  Tomocera 
  ceroplastes 
  secured 
  was 
  cut 
  out 
  of 
  

   the 
  scale. 
  Mr. 
  Craw 
  stated 
  that 
  out 
  of 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  consign- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  parasitized 
  Ceroplastes 
  sent 
  by 
  him 
  to 
  Australia 
  no 
  

   parasites 
  were 
  secured.
