  This 
  species 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  unique 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  puparia, 
  which, 
  together 
  

   with 
  the 
  structural 
  details 
  of 
  the 
  pygidium, 
  should 
  serve 
  as 
  a 
  ready 
  means 
  of 
  

   determining 
  it. 
  

  

  All 
  the 
  puparia 
  submitted 
  for 
  examination 
  are 
  arranged 
  transversely 
  upon 
  the 
  

   slender 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  food-plant 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  one 
  instance 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  doable 
  row 
  of 
  

   them 
  with 
  the 
  cephalic 
  portions 
  (exuviae) 
  of 
  both 
  rows, 
  respectively, 
  meeting 
  

   together 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  line.
