from his study of the larvae of Pachysima spp. and ''Paedal- 
gus infimus (vide infra) . . . that the young larvae are 
fed by regurgitation, the older larvae with pellets of crushed 
insects, and that, especially during their younger stages, 
the larvae are so assiduously fed and cared for because they 
furnish liquid exudates, small in quantity, to be sure, but 
of such a quality as to excite the appetite of their nurses 
and induce regurgitation. I believe that the salivary glands, 
as soon as they develop, take on the function of supplying 
exudates.” Infimus here must be a lapsus for termitolestes, 
since the only subsequent reference is to Santschi's descrip- 
tion (see below) and there is no evidence that Wheeler 
ever studied the larvae of infimus,
