(i) bend obliquely back across the body so that their tips are 

 not distant from the middle line of the body ; the legs touch the 

 pair of the opposite side at the basal fourth of the metatarsus, 

 the remaining tarsal segments running directly caudad and on 

 either side of the middle line of the body. Middle legs — The 

 coxfe and trochanters (j) occupy the sternal region of the pupa 

 innnediately behind the bend in the fore femur, the tip of the 

 middle trochanter (j) corresponding closely to the tip of the 

 fore tibiae (i). The middle femur lies beneath (dorsad of) the 

 fore tibia, the middle tibijE being outside (laterad) of the fore 

 tibiae and lying parallel with them; the tip of the tibia is about 

 opposite the basal third of the fore metatarsus; the tarsi run 

 parallel with the hind tarsi and end on a level with them. Hind 

 legs — Only the coxa are visible, lying between the bases of the 

 fore metatarsi; the remainder of the leg with the exception of 

 the terminal tarsal segments is concealed by the sheaths of the 

 fore and middle legs and the wings. The femur and tibia are 

 very strongly bent, the tip of the tibia occupying a position 

 that is exactly caudad of the tip of the femur, the tarsi running 

 caudad. The tip of the metatarsus is seen just proximad of 

 the radial region of the wing or just laterad of the antennae. 

 The hind tarsus projects conspicuously beyond the other tarsi, 

 the tips of the two anterior pairs ending about opposite the 

 middle of the fifth tarsal segment, which here bends strongly 

 inward; tip of the tarsus ending before the caudal margin of 

 the third abdominal segment. 



First abdominal segment short, exceeded by the halteres; 

 segments II to VII about equal in length, VIII very narrow, 

 bearing the ninth segment on its caudal face. Tergites — First 

 narrow, its caudal margin gently concave, not provided with 

 spicules; segment II indistinctly divided into two approximately 

 equal parts by a transverse false constriction, the caudal margin 

 of the segment provided with about thirty-two chitinized spicules. 

 Segments III to VII with the caudal half of a different texture 

 from the basal half, being somewhat more chitinized, the basal 

 half provided with feeble transverse wrinkles, the caudal margin 

 of each segment provided with chitinized spicules which de-
