32 CLASSIFICATION OF THE ALEYEODIDJE. 
DESCRIPTION. 
Pupa vase (PI. VIII, fig. 1). — Shape elongate elliptical, consider- 
ably narrower cephalad than cauded ; dorsum somewhat rounded, with 
the abdominal segments distinct, the sutures very plainly marked on 
the subdorsal area. Vasiform orifice (PL VIII, fig. 2) subcordate, as 
wide as long, with the anterior margin straight ; operculum trans- 
verse, considerably wider than long, the caudal margin straight but 
indented at each side, as shown in the figure; on each side of caudal 
margin, just at base of this indentation, a small seta is situated. 
Lingula short, conical, and forming together with the operculum 
almost a perfect cone. Its tip is armed with two pairs of large setce 
and both operculum and lingula are minutely setose. Margin (PL 
VIII, fig. 3) entire and just within it all around is a row of simple 
wax pores. On the subdorsal area are four pairs of wax pores, one 
pair on each of segments 4 to 7. These pores (PL VIII, fig. 4) have a 
clear rim and a central dusky area with a dentate margin. Placed 
irregularly near these are also noticed a number of minute, clear, 
pore-like areas. 
The case, under the microscope, is transparent, with the exception 
of a central dark-brown region and four radiating bands of the same 
color on each side, the position of which are shown in Plate VIII, 
figure 1. A narrow, colorless, central longitudinal band is present 
on segments 3 to 8, inclusive. Each of the dark radiating bands has 
extending through its center a darker line and the marginal pores 
are closer together on the dark areas than elsewhere. Size of case 
2.368 mm. by 1.28 mm. 
Adult female. — Head (PL VIII, figs. 6 and 7) with the vertex pro- 
duced into a cone-like process; frons also produced into a similar 
process, which extends beyond it ; lower portion of the frons and face 
armed with numerous spines. Compound eyes dark brown, con- 
stricted in the middle; ocelli prominent, bordered by a dark red area. 
The antenna? are absent from the specimens at hand. Fore-wing 
(fig. 4) shaded with brown and mottled with a darker shade of the 
same color as shown in figure. The extent and intensity of these 
maculations varies somewhat with the individual ; veins brown, the 
cubitus represented by a transparent "fold;" proximal portion of 
costal margin armed with stiff hairs and entire margin with small 
projections on which setae arc situated. Size 2.38 mm. by 1.504 mm. 
Hind wing with brown maculations, as shown in Plate VIII, figure 1 ; 
the proximal portion of the costal margin with usually eleven promi- 
nent bristles. Size 1.92 mm. by 0.704 mm. Paronychium of foot 
( PI. VIII, fig. 8) armed with a prominent bristle. Lingula of vasi- 
form orifice broad and rounded. Length from vertex to tip of ovi- 
positor L.91 mm.; fore-tibia 0.48 mm.; hind tibia 0.8 mm. Color
