Thus the insect is able to breatli tlirout^h the tlioracic and the abdominal 

 si)iiac1es and it often lays the body on one sidi- and moves the pronotum

 many glanils on the surface of the l)od>', which secret wax

In Atracloiiiorplia hdcli (imaL;o and nymph), as in the case of the 

 nymph of /'ackyty/KS. all the body i^ held just below the surface of water, 

 but in the imago of Pacliytylus, as well as in Oxya, onh" tlie under half 

 of the l)od\' is soaked in water, when the insect is in water 



The insect of this family carries with it a larije bubble of air under its 

 ])ronotum and the insect breathes throuL;h onl\' tiie prothoracic spiracles in 

 water 



Atraclomorplta hidili in water often bends the pronotum downwards, 

 breaking the surface of water b_\- the apex of its pronotum to exchange the 

 air under the jironotum lor the new sup])ly of it, 



But the n\mi)h of Pacliytyhis lays the l5od>' on one side, moving the 

 Jironotum from the bod\' off and thus the new air is taken
