THE LESSER PEACH BORER. 87 



darker at l)aso of olypons and on laiiriini and iuandil)los. and blackish at the 

 lower outer anj^les of the parael.vjjeal pieces, edjies of cl.vi)eiis. and tips of the 

 mandibles : pale at vertical trianjile. outer edjies of paraclypeal pieces, sular 

 surfaces. e])istonia, italpi. and antenna', the last two somewhat darkened; 

 mandibles broad and short, indistinctly tive-toothed, the two inner teeth mere 

 serrations, the third tooth short, truncate, and broad, one-half shorter than the 

 second, which is shorter and broader than the first, which is also obtuse : cut- 

 ting edge of mandible oblique; two setje present, arising together from middle 

 of inner edge. Clypeus long, acutely triangular, its lateral margins sinuate, not 

 distinctly truncate at basal corners, which are iniitressed and bear two seta', 

 one caudad of the other: paraclypeal pieces long, narrowed centrally, including 

 the clypeus: on the inner side of each paraclyi)eal piece near the posterior end 

 is a slight depression from which arises a small seta, near the apex of the 

 clypeus. Ocelli (5. weak, pale, the first four in a quadrangle, each with a dis- 

 tinct lateral pigment spot ; the fifth more cephalad, ventro-laterad of antenna, 

 also with pigmentation; the sixth smaller, caudo-laterad of the fifth, and with- 

 out pigmentation ; the group protected by setje. 



Cervical shield pale yellow, bearing twelve setas in two groups of three each on 

 each side of meson, all separated, and the caudal one of the first group sei)arated 

 by a suture: laterad of the shield, cephalad of sjiiracle, a group of thi-ee from a 

 calloused tubercle, of which the cephalic two are much the longer; directly 

 laterad a group of two froni a fieshy elongate tubercle, the caudal seta the 

 larger; between these setigerous tubercles, caudad and opjiosite the spiracle, is u 

 narrow nonsetigerous tubercle, nuach narrower than the second setigerous one 

 (one next to the fore leg) ; sjuracle oval. l)rownish ; " vii " and "viii" small. 

 on the venter (?) and base of fore leg. On segments II and III. i in the dorsal 

 region consisting of two set:v, the laterad larger: ii the same, slightly advanced, 

 dorso-later.il asi)ect : iii single, minute, caudad between ii and iv. nearer the 

 latter; iv single, large, in a line laterad with iii, advanced slightly be.vond i, 

 and in the stigniatal line; v small, its set;p larger than iii. single, much advanced, 

 cephalo-laterad of iv : vi some distance caudo-laterad of v. about in a line trans- 

 versely with i, single, ecpial to iv, above base of leg; all in the second annulet. 

 A calloused spot behind iii. and a smaller one above vi, some distance caudad of 

 V. Segment IV, single, i (•ei)halad. small, in first annulet; ii larger, caudo- 

 laterad of i ; i and ii from dorsal aspect, forming a trapezoid; iii some distance 

 from i in a transverse line, eiiual to ii, apparently in the first annulet, .iust 

 above spiracle; iv and v combined just below the spiracle, the !>et;^ of v larger; 

 vi caudad. nearer to vii than to iv and v : vii consisting of two set;e in the 

 ventro-lateral line, and viii of one seta in the ventral region, nunute : a minute 

 calloused sjtot behind iv and v. Segment V, the same, vii consisting of three 

 setiv, one of which may be obsolete. Segments VI. VII, VIII. and IX, the 

 same; vii, three setie on cephalo-lateral aspect at the l>ase of proleg; viii, minute 

 and single, inner side base of proleg: the intermediate seta of vii longest. On 

 .segment X. ii caudad of i. vii consisting of two set;e. the inner the larger, vi 

 nearer to vii. Segment XI. i and ii closer, the latter also closer together trans- 

 versely, iii cephalo-mesad of the spiracle; iv small, against, and cephalad of 

 the spiracle; vii a single seta. Segment XII. i api)arently absent; ii. iii. and 

 iv in a transverse line, iii and iv combined : v minute, between iv and vi, 

 slightly cephalo-laterad of iv : vi large, cephalad: vii and viii single. Anal 

 shield subobsolete, pale, bearing four large set:e on each side, minutely maculate. 

 Segment XIII, four minute tubercles across the venter (vii and viii ?). in 

 front of each proleg. and .iust below the shield, a line of five on each side of the 

 segment, of uneipial size.
