  long 
  hairs, 
  the 
  others 
  being 
  either 
  quite 
  absent 
  or 
  represented 
  

   by 
  stumps 
  of 
  various 
  lengths, 
  but 
  generally 
  very 
  short. 
  

   This 
  seemed 
  to 
  prove 
  that 
  the 
  hairs 
  were 
  not 
  shed 
  naturally 
  

   by 
  the 
  larvae, 
  but 
  that 
  they 
  must 
  be 
  bitten 
  oii 
  by 
  the 
  ants, 
  

   equally 
  by 
  M. 
  laevinodis 
  as 
  by 
  M. 
  scahrinodis.
