94 Psyche [June 



dominal segments. Anal end of body and anal area bearing 

 numerous longer hairs. True legs absent, indicated by ambula- 

 tory tubercles. 



Pupa. Length about 3 mm. Width about 1.8 mm. White; 

 oval; posterior end of abdomen terminated by a pair of tubercles 

 each bearing a short, weak spine; remainder of body surface 

 devoid of spines or hairs. 



Adult. Reference to the place of original description has 

 already been made and Blatchley's description (Col. Ind. p. 884) 

 is available if the original is not. The adult is interesting on 

 account of its ability to pack itself up into a little globe or ball. 

 The legs shut together; a cavity on the breast receives the 

 antennse and large mouth parts and the head is folded down 

 over the chest closing this cavity. In such a closely packed 

 condition, the insect resembles a small seed. When disturbed, 

 it immediately folds up.
