THe Crane-Fures oF New York — Part II 887 
genus (Plate LII, 254); thisstructure located on either side of capsule on ventral face, a 
flattened, subrectangular plate whose surface, except at base, is densely set with small spines 
and large pits; inner margin provided with large, acute spines, beginning at about one- 
third length of sclerite, gradually enlarged toward tip, at inner angle acute; these teeth inter- 
rupted before outer posterior angle, which terminates in a blunt, flattened lobe. Antenna 
cylindrical, apex obliquely truncated, terminating in a slender apical papilla which is longer 
than the segment that bears it, broad at base, tapering gradually to tip; two or three long 
apical setae; small auditory plates at about one-third length of segment. Mandible (Plate 
LII, 255) a powerful, slender, curved hook, at about midlength with a strong pointed tooth 
bearing in its axil a smaller tooth; as is usual in the genus, an egg-shaped chitinized piece 
isolated in one of the ventral tendons of mandible. Maxilla arising just ventrad of man 
dible, outer lobe persisting as a very elongate, bladelike organ. 
Pupa.— Length, 13-15 mm. 
Width, d.-s., 1.6 mm. 
Depth, d.-v., 1.7 mm. 
Head and appendages dark brown, thoracie dorsum a little paler; abdomen with posterior 
rings of tergum and sternum dark brown, producing a banded appearance. 
Cephalic crest (Plate LIII, 257) very large and conspicuous, consisting of two rounded 
lobes behind, each tipped with a strong seta; anterior part of crest directed ventrad and con- 
sisting of two lobes, the larger bearing a strong seta on outer face; viewed from front, these 
anterior lobes separated by a very narrow, U-shaped, median notch; crest of female a little 
smaller. Two blunt tubercles on scapal segments of each antenna. Junction of clypeus and 
labrum with two tubercles, above and slightly laterad of each a strong seta. A strong seta 
on cheek below eye. Labrum broad, very obtusely rounded at tip. Labial lobes rectangu- 
lar, widely separated. Mazxillary palpi blunt at tips (Plate LIII, 258). Antenna of male elon- 
gate, exceeding wing and ending opposite base of last tarsal segment of hind leg. Pronotal 
breathing horns short, slender, cylindrical, scarcely longer than cephalic crest. Two long 
curved setae and a smailer straight seta '‘laterad and ventrad of base of each breathing horn. 
Lateral angle of thorax with two setae; two long setae above wing axil (Plate LIII, 256). 
A strong seta on either side of mesonotum and a group of two small setae in front of each 
of these. Wing sheaths extending to base of third abdominal segment. Leg sheaths extend- 
ing to base of fourth abdominal segment; tarsal sheaths ending about on a level, or those 
of fore legs considerably shorter. 
Abdominal segments (Plate LITII, 259) dividel into two subequal rings. Chaetotaxy as 
follows: pleura with a seta on dorsal margin of basal ring; a transverse row of three setae 
on posterior ring, lying ventrad and slightly caudad of spiracle (as in EH. spinosa); tergum with 
basal ring unarmed, posterior ring with a subterminal row of sharp black spines; two long 
setae at each end of row and a few small setae at intervals along row; a solitary seta on basal 
lateral part of posterior ring; armature weaker on posterior segments, on segment 7 being 
reduced to four separated groups of setae, the outer groups with a single spine; sternum with 
basal ring unarmed, posterior ring with a subterminal transverse row of stout black spines 
with two long setae at each end of row and an isolated seta laterad and caudad of end of 
row; at base of ring on either side a group of two setae, the lateral one the smaller. . Male 
cauda (Plate LIII, 260) with the sharp dorsal lobes directed dorsad, rather acute at tips, two
