22 INSECTS INJURIOUS TO SUBTROPICAL FRUITS. 
THE SECOND-STAGE OR MATURE LARVA. 
(PL V, fig. 2.) 
Length 1.0117 mm.; width of mesothorax 0.2718 mm. Body long and cylindrical, 
the head and thorax considerably narrowed, and the abdomen gradually converging 
to the end. Color of thorax and abdomen translucent white to orange-yellowish. 
Contents of the alimentary tract showing through as a greenish mass extending from 
the mesothorax to the fifth abdominal segment; the posterior half of segment 1 and all 
of segments 2 and 3 of the abdomen bright red; last segment of the abdomen also bright 
red. Surface of the body covered with minute granules and with numerous short 
6etee which are black in color and swollen at the tips. Head 0.0906 mm. in length, 
0.1559 mm. in width, front rounded and sides bulging considerably, constricted behind 
the eyes to a distinct neck. Eyes made up of a few large facets, red, no ocelli present. 
Antennae seven-segmented, about 0.3473 mm. long; segments 3 and 4 long, slender, 
spindle-shaped, and annulated; 5 short, cylindrical; 6 longer than 5, slender, cylindri- 
cal; 7 slightly longer than 6, very slender; near the distal end of each segment are a 
number of setae. Prothorax with the anterior margin considerably narrower than the 
posterior, sides rounded, a pair of seta? on each side, a pair on dorsum near anterior 
margin, and another pair near posterior margin. Mesothorax and meta thorax with a 
number of setae near sides and a pair of spiracles on the anterior mesothoracic angles. 
Legs translucent white. Abdomen 0.6795 mm. in length, 0.3473 mm. in width, fusi- 
form, no evidence of ovipositor in female larva, a pair of spiracles on the sides of seg- 
ments 2 and 9; segments 9 and 10 about equal in length, 10 with four long, stout setae, 
0.2265 mm. in length. Segments of abdomen bearing longitudinal rows of setae at 
eides, just within outline, and two incomplete rows on the dorsum. 
THE YOUNG NYMPH OR PREPUPA. 
(PI. V. fig. 3.) 
Length 1.087 mm. ; width of mesothorax 0.2567 mm. Shape fusiform, similar to that 
of the adult. Head length 0.1057 mm. ; width at the eyes 0.1812 mm. Head rounded 
in front and on angles so that the sides bulge strongly, sides strongly converging to 
posterior margin. Head translucent white, more or less blotched with orange; eyes 
red or orange, not large; ocelli absent; a pair of setae behind the eyes, another pair 
between the eyes, and a third pair back of pair 2 more widely separated. Antennae 
7-segmented, translucent white, except segment 1, which is orange, extending forward 
about twice the length of the head; segment 1 cylindrical, broader than long; segment 2 
cylindrical, narrowed at distal end, about twice as long as 1 and not so broad; 3 about as 
long as 2, more slender, base constricted; 4 shorter than 3, somewhat rounded and con- 
stricted at the base; 5 as long as 3 and 4 together, slender cylindrical; 6 short cylindrical 
and not as stout as 5; 7 cylindrical, longer than 6, and tapering at the tip; a few setae 
present on the segments. Prothorax more than twice as wide as long; sides rounded, 
with the posterior margin the widest; translucent white, marked with orange; three 
setae on each side, that at posterior angle longest, and four setae in a transverse row 
on the dorsum near the anterior margin. Mesothorax with prominent angles, trans- 
lucent white, with some orange on the dorsum. Wing cases translucent white, dis- 
tinct from each other; those of the fore-wing extending to the posterior edge of segment 
2 of the abdomen, and those of the hind wings extending to beyond anterior edge of 
segment 3. Legs translucent white to faint yellow, strong, with a number of white 
setae. Abdomen fusiform like that of the adult, translucent white to yellowish orange, 
with a bright red band on posterior half of segment 1 and on all of segments 2 and 3 
(in some examples, dashes of red on side of 2 or segments following), last segment also 
bright red. Abdomen with about six longitudinal rows of white setae increasing in 
length toward the posterior end of the body. Length of the abdomen 0.6644 mm.; 
width 0.2869 mm.
