and lateral lobes, all of which are narrow at the base and broadly 

 expanded distally, the extremities squarel}^ truncate. Length of 

 puparium i'75 to 2 mm. 



Male puparium not observed. 



Adult female with the abdominal segments strongly retracted. 

 I have been unable to detect any trace of either antennae or inter- 

 antennal tubercle. Lateral margins of thorax and abdomen with 

 scattered tuberculate spines. Spiracles without parastigmatic 

 pores. Pygidium (fig. 236?) with five groups of circumgenital 

 glands ; the median group with four widely separated pores, the 

 upper laterals averaging 11 and the lower laterals 15 pores. Pos- 

 terior margin with the median lobes rather widely separate, their 

 distal extremities sharply and irregularly^ dentate; lateral lobes 

 duplex, both lobules unusually broad, contiguous or more or less 

 confluent, their free margins strongly dentate. Length of extended 

 example i mm. Retracted examples 0*5 to 0"75 mm.

(PI. XXXI, fig. 24a-^). 



Female puparium covered almost completely by the nymphal 

 pellicle, with sometimes a very narrow colourless secretionary 

 margin. Pellicles dark castaneous, lighter towards the margins. 

 Length i to 1*35 mm. 



Nymphal pellicle (fig. 24a) rather narrow ; the posterior 

 abdominal segments with lateral margin produced into small but 

 acute points. Posterior extremity (fig. 246) with a very large pair 

 of median lobes which are widely divaricate and recessed into the 

 margin, first lateral lobes duplex, the inner lobule longer than the 

 other: second lateral lobes tridentate. Length i to i"25 mm. 



Adult female minute, with very thin and delicate derm. An- 

 tennae (fig. 24c) consisting of a pair of obscurely dentate tubercles, 

 each with a longish curved bristle on the outer side, a shght fold 

 between the antennae. Posterior extremity (fig. 241^) with small 

 but prominent median lobes, set rather wide apart, with a lunate 

 chitinous plate between them.. Lateral lobes represented by a small 

 conical prominence on each side. There is a pair of long slender 

 spines between the median lobes, and other similar spines are set 

 at intervals along the margin. Circumgenital glands consisting of 

 a practically continuous arch containing about 50 pores. Length 

 0'5 mm.
