erally a beginning of a third pair of faint brownish bands, which extend toward 
the eyes but fuse with the long pair at the posterior end.) Eye spots jet black; 
jaws amber, with posterior half often dark; palpi and antennae translucent at 
bases but amber for the greater part. Body predominately gray; anterior sub- 
segment of prothorax lighter gray than dominant color of head; second sub- 
segment light gray in front, light brown behind; lateral tubercles very promi- 
nent, knobs at ends small and rounded, stalks unusually long; setae long and 
prominent, those on thoracic tubercles bending upward and arranged like a 
horizontal fan to support the packet, whitish to translucent; tubercles all gray. 
Entire dorsum whitish to delicate gray, main sutures darker. Thorax of normal 
length. Abdomen contracted and much broader than usual oculata type; width 
equal to that between tips of metathoracic tubercles; first abdominal tubercles 
not developed; tubercles 2 to 7 small, practically sessile; setae long, the longest 
ones extending fan-shaped and bending upward; abdominal sutures darkened. 
Sides of abdomen with a little brown extending full length of body. Tail promi- 
nent, somewhat translucent. Venter of thorax grayish to white, occasionally 
some pinkish due to color of internal tissues. Length of larva, 5.2 mm.; width of 
head, 0.8 mm.; length of jaws, 0.75 mm. 
(All larvae taken have had a well-made packet of the type previously 
described. ) 
Pupa.—Cocoon spherical, slightly oblong, entirely of white silk closely 
woven. Length of cocoon, 3.64 mm.; diameter, 3.07 mm. 
(The packet clings to one side of the cocoon and often nearly covers it, the 
only white silk then showing being on the under side next to the substratum. 
Larvae may fail to spin, but in such cases they may pupate outside a cocoon.) 
Adult.—Specimens reared conform to description given by Banks (1903: 
150), with the exception of very slight and probably inconsequential variations 
in color, largely due to age of specimen. 
(Great difficulty was experienced in carrying the pupae through. Of 
approximately a hundred larvae, not more than a dozen have developed into 
adults. Midsummer rearings gave some success, but it was evident that the 
common garden aphids were not their natural food. All attempts at overwinter- 
ing have failed.)

Chrysopa bimaculata also is a trash carrier. The only specimens 
seen by the writer were larvae sent from the citrus groves of Florida 
through the kindness of Mr. Frank M. O’Byrne, of the Division of 
Nursery Inspection in the Florida Department of Agriculture. In 
habits the species is believed to be identical with C. lateralis and C. line- 
aticormis, except for distribution. Only the third-instar larva, the pupa, 
and the adult were seen. 
Third-instar larva.—Differs from C. lineaticornis in head markings and in 
size. Head largely gray, with two brownish crossbands on dorsum, a narrow 
brown band connecting bases of jaws, another similar narrow band connecting
