DESCRIPTIONS OF INSECT. 58 



wingpads are stout and almost entirely cover the abdomen. The ter- 

 minal segment is still broad and flattened and bears two short spines, 

 but the other characters have disappeared. 



True piqxt of inale. — The true pupa resembles the previous stage, 

 except that the members are longer and slenderer, and the prominent 

 anal stvle has appeared. The pupa is pale yellow and purplish in 

 color, darkest about the base of the abdomen, the head, antennae, legs, 

 wing sheaths, and style being almost colorless and transparent. The 

 eye spots are dark purple. The antennge extend nearly to the middle 

 femora, and are not curved under the body as formerly, but are applied 

 close to the sides with the apex free. The anterior legs are held for- 

 ward, reaching slightly beyond the eyes. The middle femora rest 

 transversely to the body, projecting somewhat beyond the margin of 

 the abdomen, while their tibiae form with them a right angle and reach 

 nearly to the apex of the hind femora. The latter incline posteriorly^ 

 while the hind tibiae are applied close to the sides of the body, except 

 toward the tip^ and reach nearly to the base of the style. The style is 

 rather stout, conical, obtusely pointed at tip, and about as long as 

 posterior tibiae. Length, 0.8™™, including st3de, which measures about 

 0.15™™. 



Mature male. — The general color is orange with a faint duskiness on 

 the prothorax. The head is somewhat darker than the rest of the 

 body. The eyes are dark purple, almost black. The antennae are 

 yellow, somewhat obscure or smoky. The legs and style are dusky, 

 the latter paler than the former. The thoracic shield is regularl}^ 

 ovoid, compressed anteriorly, dusky in color, with margin brown, more 

 distinctly so anteriorl}^; transverse band narrow, brown. Antennae 

 10-jointed, two basal joints shortest, second nearly globular, inserted 

 in the first; joints 4 and 5 subequal, longer than any of the others; 

 joint 6 next in length, and joints 3, 7, and 9 shorter and subequal; 

 joint 10 still shorter, conical. Antennae somewhat hairy and nearly as 

 long as the body of the insect. Wings faintly^ dusky, iridescent with 

 yellow and green. Length of body about 0.6™™; style, 0.25™™. 



Female., third stage. — After the second molt the females still appear 

 pale yellow as before, with various larger and smaller transparent spots 

 around the border of the bod}^ The form is nearly circular, with 

 greatest diameter averaging 0.56™™. The sucking bristles are very 

 prominent and long, three times the length of the insect. The last 

 segment in this stage has practically the characters of the mature female, 

 as follows: There are two pairs of lobes, the terminal ones largest and 

 nearl}^ three times as broad as the other lobes. Terminal lobes are 

 rounded at the apex and are distinctly notched near the middle of the 

 external edge. The second pair of lobes is smaller and narrower, and 

 is also notched externally. Between the first and second lobe on either
