The pupa.— The pupa is shown in Plate XLVIII, 79. The size of the ~ 
pupae varies considerably. The average of the measurements of six 
pupae (table 9) showed the average length to be 14.2 millimeters and the 
width, taken across the prothorax, 5.76 millimeters.

The pupa is large, naked, and dirty white in color. It may be described 
as follows: 
From the dorsal view: Head almost or entirely concealed by the prothorax. Prothorax 
a little longer than the meso- and metathorax combined. Eight spines on the surface of 
the prothorax, arranged in pairs, near the four corners of the subrectangular dorsum. Meso- 
thorax terminating in a triangular lobe, without spines or setae. Metathorax with two 
prominent setae. On each of first six abdominal segments a transverse row of setae arranged 
as follows: segment 1, with a group of three setae on each side of the median line and one 
laterally just above the spiracle; segments 2 to 6, inclusive, with the same arrangement 
except that the groups laterad of the median line have four. setae; segment 7 with one 
seta on the lateral-margin; segment 8 with stout spines, arranged in groups of fours, on the 
posterior margin. 
From the ventral view: Rostrum stout, reaching to the prothoracie tarsi. One pair of 
spines at the base of rostrum and another pair in line with the base of the antennae. Antennae 
elbowed and reaching almost to the tips of the femora. Each femur with a stout spine near 
the distal end. Wings reaching to the ends of the hind femora. On the eight abdominal 
segments, in each of the outer two apices, eight spines, arranged in groups of fours. 
The adult.— Blatchley and Leng (1916) describe the-adult (Plate 
XLVIII, 78) as follows: 
Flongate-oval. Black or reddish-black, shining, the interspaces of thorax and flat alternate 
intervals of elytra covered with a dirty white coating. Beak as in key, three-fourths the 
length of the thorax, finely and sparsely punctate, foveate and finely grooved above at base. 
Thorax longer than wide, foveate and finely constricted; vittae entire, the median one widest 
at middle, narrowed before and behind; lateral ones with edges sinuous, branched as described
