﻿1G8 CLEMENS' SYNOPSIS OF 



wings are long and narrow ; the length of the anterior exceeding that of the body, 

 and about one-third as long as they are broad across the inner angle, with the tip 

 acuminated, the hind margin entire and usually very obliquely convex, with the inner 

 angle rounded and the inner margin nearly straight or slightly concave. The legs are 

 moderately long and stout, the hind tibiae with four very long spurs. 



Larva. — The head is large, semi-oval and flattened in front. The body is almost 

 uniformly cylindrical, smooth and obliquely banded on the sides, with an arching 

 caudal horn, and the thoracic segments somewhat folded. The tongue-case of the 

 pupa is short and detached, but reposes upon the breast. It is contained in a sub- 

 terranean cell.
