REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I9I2 79 



slender, slightly curved process at the anterior ventral angle, a 

 broad subtruncate process posteriorly along the ventral line and a 

 longer, broad process from the posterior-dorsal portion, the distal 

 part of the latter tapering suddenly to a subacute apex ; dorsal 

 sclerite short, slender (plate 4, figure 3) ; anterior spiracle distinct, 

 broad, with ten or eleven radially arranged orifices ; posterior 

 spiracles, each with three rather broad, heavily chitinized, sub- 

 parallel orifices (plate 6, figure 2). The subtruncate posterior 

 portion has a well-developed truncate lobe on the ventral surface 

 and a distinct, cup-shaped dorsal cavity guarding the spiracles and 

 margined with irregular and rather minute, fleshy lobes. 



Puparium. Length 9 to 9.5 mm, diameter 3 to 4 mm. Color light 

 brown, turning to a dark brown, almost black. The anterior ex- 

 tremity is narrowly rounded and somewhat constricted subapically, 

 each segment with a double transverse band of chitinous points ; 

 posterior extremity contracted subapically and easily recognized by 

 the submedian spiracles located in a somewhat illy defined depres- 

 sion margined with irregular, short, broad, chitinous tubercles.
