Psyche 
[June 
dominal segments. Anal end of body and anal area bearing 
numerous longer hairs. True legs absent, indicated by ambula- 
tory tubercles. 
Pupa. Length about 3 mm. Width about 1.8 mm. White; 
oval; posterior end of abdomen terminated by a pair of tubercles 
each bearing a short, weak spine; remainder of body surface 
devoid of spines or hairs. 
Aclult. Reference to the place of original description has 
already been made and Blatchley’s description (Col. Ind. p. 884) 
is available if the original is not. The adult is interesting on 
account of its ability to pack itself up into a little globe or ball. 
The legs shut together; a cavity on the breast receives the 
antennae and large mouth parts and the head is folded down 
over the chest closing this cavity. In such a closely packed 
condition, the insect resembles a small seed. When disturbed, 
it immediately folds up.
