em])odiuni a])parently simple. Legs with sparse, .still’, long hairs; amhnlatorial 
and siibseansorial. 
Abdomen fleshy, abruptly convex above, slightly concave below, widest at abovit 
the 4th segment; snrfaee mieroseo])ieally ])a])illose, from naked eye smooth and 
shining. Cerei ab.sent. Articulations indistinct. .Seansorial. 
Body marked as follows Head, cervical and anal shicdds, legs, median line of 
abdomen, .stigmata, and most of the tubercle areae, black; trochanters pale. 'I'he 
tubercle areae are arranged as follows: — 
Segment I As in instar II. 
II --.\s in instar II; an additional flat round area, rotato-rugo.se, just 
above the large area, and in dorsal region, 2 transverse areae, 
at eephalie and caudal margins of the .segment respectively. 
Ill — Same as in instar II; with the additions as noted for segment II. 
IV Same as iti in.star II. 4'wo additional areae in a longitudinal line 
just above each S])iraele, eoale.seed, forming a crescent ; in dorsal 
region, 4 areae, the first 2 eoale.seed, arranged in an irregular 
scjuare, on each .side of me.son. 
^’-lX — Same; the two above the spiracle on .segment .3, withanarm joining 
them. The 2 cephalic ones in dorsal region not coalesced; 
the ee])halie one in that region minute, the next twice larger, 
and the 2 caudal ones .sube(|iial, at least 7 or S times larger than 
the ee|)halic one. 
X — The same. The 4 in dorsal region closer, the 2 cephalic ones nearly 
in a transverse line at cephalic margin of segment ; the 2 caudal 
ones, included with the eephalie margin of the anal shield, whi(4i 
covers portions of this segment, eautlad. 
XI Tubercles still closer together, tho.se above, in the shield; areae 
smaller. Apparently the same. 
In.star II. I>ength after exclusion — 2. SO mm., avg. 
Length before eedysis — .'i.d mm., avg. 
Width of head - 1 .()',) mm., avg. 
Following till' first eeilysis, the whole body is a bright crimson, the head and 
prothora.x brighter, the oecdli and most of the tubercle areae black. Exuvium entire, 
black. 
The same. Body more tubular (dorsal asia-et); from lateral aspect, ventral 
surface nearly regularly concave, the dorsal surface convex, the convexity abruptly 
broken at segments 2 and 3, which are eoneave; from dorsal as|)eet, body narrower
