Asterochiton corollis, new species 
Pupa-case :—Size 0.90 mm. by 0.61 mm.; shape elliptical with 
the caudal end truncate; color dark brown. The wax secretion of 
the dorsum, as observed from somewhat imperfect specimens, con- 
sists of three separate systems as follows; first, a continuous mar- 
ginal fringe extending entirely around the case, the rods of which 
are short and loosely joined, projecting directly toward the leaf 
to about one-half of the distance from the margin to the leaf. 
Second, a series extending continuously around the case just within 
the margin. The rods of this system are long, white and closely 
coalesced at their bases and extend upward for the greater part 
of their lengths then outward over the case, separating into ribbon- 
like structures at their extremities. Third, a series of short, thick 
rods arranged in groups which arise mesad of the second system 
and which project toward the center of the case. In addition to 
the dorsal wax the pupa case secretes a high vertical fringe of 
wax on which the case rests. The submarginal area bears a row 
of large, conical, papilla-like pores the bases of which are close 
together, the pores themselves measuring about 0.02 mm. in 
length. These pores undoubtedly secrete the long ribbon-like wax 
structure. On the dorsum proper are irregularly shaped, con- 
spicuous, pore-like openings which are arranged in groups, the 
outer margins of which conform to the general curve of the case. 
These groups are found as follows: two in the cephalic region con- 
sisting of fourteen pores each, two in the thoracic region containing 
about twelve openings each and two in the abdominal region con- 
taining twenty-four each. Scattered through these pores are numer- 
ous very small circular pores also two pair of similar circular pores
