quiuquelocular pores in a single row terminating at or within 5 pores from the 

 posterior pair of 8-shaped pores, slightly more numerous than S-shaped \ 



Dorsal surface: 8-shaped pores in a median row of 3 or 4 posterior to mouth 

 parts, and in 12 or 14 fairly definite groups in submarginal area, the anterior 



group with 3-5 pore-, the others with 2-5. individual pore- measuring 15-16 u. 

 long and 9-10 wide: minute 8-shaped and disk pores vei] tubular duets 



rather sparse, 24 /j. long. 



Ventral surface: Antenna conical, sunken in derm, with 2 setae longer than 

 diameter of antenna and apparently sometimes with 1 shorter; 1 or 2 quinque- 

 locular pores between antenna and margin: heak with 2 pairs of setal b; 

 spiracular bar subcircular; 6-12 quinquelocular pores extending from spiracle to 

 body margin in a single or double row; multilobular pores, totaling 86 92 and 

 with 10 loculi. arranged in 5 complete and 3 interrupted rows, posterior row 

 with 12 or 13. each of next 2 with 10-14. each of next 2 with 10-12, and each 

 of interrupted rows with 5-9; 0-12 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each side of 

 mouth parts, a few on anterior end. and others tending toward arrangement in 

 3 or 4 transverse rows among multilocular pores: submarginal 8-shaped ; 

 in an irregularly double row terminating near the posterior row of multilocular 

 pores, about one-half as numerous as marginal 8-shaped pores: submarginal - 

 in a complete row terminating near the penultimate pair of marginal 8—1 

 pores; 1 pair of setae in each of the posterior 5 rows of multilocular pores. 



Apex of abdomen: Notch present: lobe- well developed: setae, apical 81 fj. 

 long, interapical 7.2-0 a long, outer ventral 5.4-7 " long: anal ring with 6 setae 

 30 m long and apparently with an inner row of 6 and an outer row of 12 | 

 divided on dorsal and ventral sides: ventral surface of apex with a narrow 

 seleiotized area extending anteriorly from inner lobe on each half of body, 

 slightly sclerotized on margin. 



Larva. — Elliptical. 



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

 anterior pair slightly larger, than the others, axes of the posterior G pairs 

 transverse, of the others longitudinal: 3 pairs of setae anteriorly. 



Dorsal surface: 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 6 and a lateral row 

 of ."i. on each half of body, in each row, the posterior 3 pores smaller, and the 

 anterior one larger, than the others, which are about the same size as marginal 

 pores of same segments; disk pores closer to lateral than to marginal 8-shaped 

 pores. 



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

 stout. 2 slender : bases of antennae one-half length of antenna apart : beak 

 apparently with 2 pairs of setae at tip: spiracle with 1 trilocular and 1 cpiincpie- 

 locular pore : leg setae, coxa 3. femur 1 on inner margin near base, tarsus 1 each 

 on inner and outer margins ; tibia one-half as long as tarsus ; 9 pairs of sub- 

 marginal 8-shaped pores: apparently 9 pairs of submarginal minute setae, on 

 abdomen and thorax. 2 pairs of submarginal larger setae at anterior end: 4 pairs 

 of setae between antennae. 



Apex of abdomen: Notch minute: setae, apical 40 m long, interapical appar- 

 ently 5.4 a long, outer ventral 2.5 a long: anal opening in margin, anal tube short, 

 sclerotized throughout: anal ring with se"ae. each about 7 ,u long.

 marginal.
