head uniformly colored, with a few inconspicuous muscle scars on the 
pronotum. 
Description: Length, 14 mm. Head, golden, immaculate (fig. 
11,c); second segment of maxillary palpus about 1% times length of 
first; left mandible with 2 apical teeth, right with 3 apical teeth, mesal 
one longest (like fig. 11,b). Thorax, pronotum golden, with faint 
indications of muscle scars; fore femora much broadened. Abdomen, 
anal proleg with neither basoventral hook nor apicolateral spur; claw 
without ventral teeth (fig. 11,d). 
Material examined: Massachusetts, Chesterfield, July 6, 1958, 1 
prepupa. New Hampshire, Pinkham Notch, Cutler River, Aug. 24, 
1957, 1 prepupa; Fabayan, Aug. 25, 1957, 1 larva. New York, near 
Roscoe, Apr. 4, 1959, 1 prepupa; Slaterville Springs, Wildflower 
Preserve, tributary to Sixmile Creek, Nov. 13, 1960, 2 larvae—Nov. 14, 
1957, 1 prepupa. North Carolina, Pisgah National Forest, Looking 
Glass Creek, July 5, 1958, 1 larva, 1 prepupa. Tennessee, Great 
Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, Apr. 6, 1941, 1 larva. 
Remarks: This form was found in small cold brooklets, generally 
about 1-3 yards wide. 
Prepupae of the species were taken in November and April in New 
York; larvae were also taken in fall and spring. Apparently the 
species can overwinter either as prepupae or fully grown larvae. 
Emergence probably takes place from early spring through the 
summer inasmuch as prepupae have been taken in late August.
