leaving at least the posterior one-third of the pupal skin still 

 inclosed within the split portion of the puparium. The descrip- 

 tion of the puparium omits mention of the head segment, which 

 was missing. It is fully described with this exception. 



Puparium: Twelve (?) jointed (there are eleven segments present), 

 wholly of a dark brown color, slightly lighter on the tuberculous lateral 

 edges of segments, moderately broad, considerably flattened, of a nearly 

 equal width throughout, very slightly wider on posterior half, the posterior 

 end rounded in outline from above. Whole surface divided off into minute 

 plates, appearing minutely warted or scaly, the scales or plates larger in 

 middle of segments than on the borders. Second segment (first one 

 present) a little narrower than others, third a little wider, fourth slightly 

 wider than third; fourth to tenth nearly equal in width, except that the 

 eighth and ninth are very slightly wider; eleventh a little narrower at base 

 than tenth, narrowing posteriorly, a little more than one-half as wide on 

 hind margin as at base; twelfth or anal segment very small, short, about 

 one-half width of hind margin of eleventh, rounded behind, hardly one- 

 half as long as wide. Second and third segments short, third hardly longer 

 than second, fourth one and one-half times as long as third, fourth to 

 ninth subequal in length; tenth a little shorter, widened at sides poste- 

 riorly; eleventh a little longer than ninth. Segments 2 — 10, on lateral 

 edge near middle, with a short posteriorly recurved bristle ; segment 11 

 with a similar one on lateral edge anteriorly, and on hind margin just 

 inside posterior lateral angle of segment with an outwardly recurved 

 bristle; anal segment bare. Segments 5 — 10 with a transverse row of 

 about ten small tubercles or papillae on dorsum just next to anterior 

 margin of segment, closely approximated and not extending down on 

 sides of segments, the rows being little more than one-half as long as 

 width of segments; same segments with a similar row of from twelve to 

 sixteenth minute tubercles on venter, the fourth segment showing a 

 somewhat less distinct row; segments 5 — 10 also each with a small 

 rounded smooth tubercle on sides of dorsum in middle; segment 11 with 

 a transverse row of seven such tubercles on dorsum* considerably before 

 anterior margin, the three median ones approximated and somewhat 

 removed from the lateral pairs, and two behind these near lateral margin 

 of segment with several more below or on lateral margin; all the tuber- 

 cles of transverse row, except the outer one on each side, are larger than 

 the lateral ones. Eleventh segment anteriorly bulged ventrally on median 

 portion, with a transverse stigmatal slit a little longer than one-half width 

 of segment, the anterior edge of slit being armed with eight teeth; two 

 small tubercles just anterior to each end of slit; stigmata apparently 

 opening in slightly hollowed portion behind the slit. Length (of the 

 eleven segments), 8.5 mm.; width of second segment, 2 mm.; of ninth 

 segment, 2 3-5 mm.
