Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores absent or 2-6 in number along median line, 

 when present 8-12 /x long and 5-8 wide ; minute 8-shaped pores very numerous ; 

 disk pores fairly numerous ; tubular ducts 40 fx long. 



Ventral surface : Antenna irregularly circular, sometimes sunken in derm, 

 with 2 setae about twice as long as, and 2-6 shorter than, diameter of antenna ; 

 beak with 2 pairs of setae ; spiracle with bar broad, a sclerotized band extending 

 around opening, 3-8 (usually 6 or 7) quinquelocular pores in sclerotized area, 

 and 40-65 extending to body margin in a row 2-5 pores wide, a total of 44-70 

 (usually 53-60) in group and row combined; multilocular pores, usually totaling 

 42-48 (1 of specimens examined with a total of 70), and with 7-11 (usually 10) 

 loculi, in 3 complete rows, posterior and penultimate rows each with 15-20, 

 anterior row with 11-15 ; 4 or 5 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each side of beak, 

 a few scattered on anterior end, and others arranged in 6-8 transverse rows 

 posterior to mouth parts ; submarginal 8-shaped pores in an irregularly double to 

 quadruple (usually triple) row terminating near anterior row of multilocular 

 pores, 2-4 opposite nearly every marginal 8-shaped pore of nearer row ; 4-8 disk 

 pores in each spiracular pore band ; submarginal setae apparently in a complete 

 row terminating about 6 8-shaped pores from the posterior pair of marginal 

 8-shaped pores ; 1 pair of setae each in posterior and penultimate rows of 

 multilocular pores. 



Apex of abdomen : Lobes barely indicated : setae, apical 88-100 /x long, 

 interapical 40 /x long, dorsal 24-36 /x long, inner ventral 5.4 /x long, intermediate 

 ventral 7.2 /x long, outer ventral 14-16 ix long ; anal ring with 6 setae 92-100 /x 

 long, usually with around 36 pores, but 1 of specimens examined with 54 ; ventral 

 surface of apex heavily sclerotized around inner ventral setae, surrounding area 

 lightly sclerotized in dentate rows. 



Larva. — Elongate elliptical. 



Margin : With 28 8-shaped pores, the posterior 6 pairs distinctly smaller than 

 the others, and their axes transverse, axes of the others longitudinal ; a pair of 

 minute setae close to each of the posterior 4 pairs of pores ; 3 pairs of setae at 

 anterior end. 



Dorsal surface: 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 7-9 on each half of 

 body, posterior pores possibly very slightly smaller than the others, all practi- 

 cally same size as posterior marginal pores : disk pores fairly close to marginal 

 8-shaped pores, and a few fairly close to dorsal 8-shaped pores ; a pair of small 

 setae sometimes present near anterior pair of 8-shaped pores. 



Ventral surface : Antennal setae, I, 2 ; IV, 1 ; V, 1 ; VI, 2 long, 2 stout, 3 fairly 

 stout, 2 slender ; bases of antennae one-third length of antenna apart ; beak 

 setae, 2 pairs apical, 1 pair basal; spiracle usually with 1 trilocular pore, but 

 anterior spiracle sometimes with 1 quinquelocular pore ; leg setae, coxa 4, femur 

 1 on inner margin near base and 1 each on inner and outer margins near center, 

 tarsus 2 on inner and 1 on outer margin ; tibia one-half as long as tarsus ; nor- 

 mally 8 pairs of submarginal 8-shaped pores, not present between antennae; 9 

 pairs of submarginal minute setae, on abdomen and thorax, 3 pairs of submarginal 

 larger setae at anterior end ; 3 pairs of setae between antennae and mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Setae, apical 118-125 /x long, interapical 45-49 fx long, 

 dorsal 7.2 /x long, inner ventral 7.2 fx long, intermediate ventral 9-10.8 /x long, 

 outer ventral 10.8-16.2 (x long ; anal ring with 6 setae 36-41 /x long, and an inner 

 row of 6 and an outer row of 12 pores ; ventral surface of apex faintly sclerotized 

 near margin. 



Data, — Redescribed from unmounted material and the following 

 mounted specimens : Two females and) 25 larvae on Coronilla glauca, 

 Montpellier, France, J. Lichtenstein, April 1880; 1 female and 10 

 larvae, Cockerell Collection; 1 female and 17 larvae on Coronill-a 

 glauca, Montpellier, France, determined by Lichtenstein and Low, 

 loaned by M. Beier; 1 female from the Lichtenstein Collection, 

 loaned by P. Vayssiere. 



The species is closely related to algeriense, arabidis, laimeae, 

 nevadense, stentae. and less closely allied to zantlienes, but differs 

 from all in being normally without dorsal 8-shaped pores.
