33 
pointing laterally; palp apical and consisting of five sensilla; galea 
represented by two sensilla, each of which bears a digitiform spinule. 
Labium feebly bilobed, flap-like, narrowed basally; palp a low ventro- 
lateral projection bearing five sensilla; an isolated sensillum between 
each palp and the opening of the sericteries; the latter a transverse 
slit on the ventral surface. Hypopharynx spinulose, the spinules in 
short transverse rows, the rows so close together that the spinules 
overlap. 
Material Studied: — Two semipupae (?) from southern India. 
These are the specimens studied by Dr. Heinrich Kutter (1948, 
p. 290-292) of Mannedorf, Switzerland. In 1963 we asked Dr. 
Kutter whether he would be willing to let us examine them. His 
generous response was to send them to us as a gift. We studied them 
first with the phase microscope; then they were dismounted, stained 
lightly, remounted and studied under both phase and light microscopes. 
We were not able to inflate the wrinkled specimens; therefore our 
drawing of the larva in side view is a restoration.

species; Fig. 6, larva in side view; Fig. 7, anterior end enlarged.
