REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST IQI2 79 
slender, slightly curved process at the anterior ventral angle, a 
broad subtruncate process posteriorly along the ventral line and a 
longer, broad process from the posterior-dorsal portion, the distal 
part of the latter tapering suddenly to-a subacute apex; dorsal 
sclerite short, slender (plate 4, figure 3) ; anterior spiracle distinct, 
broad, with ten or eleven radially arranged orifices; posterior 
spiracles, each with three rather broad, heavily chitinized, sub- 
parallel orifices (plate 6, figure 2). The subtruncate posterior 
portion has a well-developed truncate lobe on the ventral surface 
and a distinct, cup-shaped dorsal cavity guarding the spiracles and 
margined with irregular and rather minute, fleshy lobes. 
Puparium. Length 9 to 9.5 mm, diameter 3 to 4mm. Color light 
brown, turning to a dark brown, almost black. The anterior ex- 
tremity is narrowly rounded and somewhat constricted subapically, 
each segment with a double transverse band of chitinous points; 
posterior extremity contracted subapically and easily recognized by 
the submedian spiracles located in a somewhat illy defined depres- 
sion margined with irregular, short, broad, chitinous tubercles.
