PUPAL CASE (Fig. 15 a, b ) : Length 1.0 mm. 
Width 0.66 mm. Colour black. Shape elliptical. 
Margin entire or faintly crenulate, sinuate. Sub- 
margin distinctly paler than disc but not sep- 
arated by submarginal line. Margin with 9 proc- 
cesses on each side, concave between these proc- 
esses. Submargin with continuous linear series 
of pores. These are pale subcircular or sub- 
elliptical areas partly separated by blunt conical 
black processes of the dorsal disc. About 12-13 
pores between processes. A somewhat irregular 
row of minute pores mesad of the larger linear 
series. Thoracic area without tracheal folds, 
pores, or combs. Segments bounded laterally 
about midway between median line and mar- 
gin. Abdomen with segments laterally bounded. 
Eighth abdominal segment with setae bases 
wider apart than orifice and distant from and 
slightly anterior to it. Vasiform orifice (Fig. 
15 b) transverse, subcordate. Operculum filling 
orifice. Lingula. Abdominal tracheal fold absent, 
tracheal comb present with about 10 teeth, each 
longer than wide, rounded apically, and some- 
what fluted. Caudal seta bases nearer to margin 
than to apex of orifice, as wide apart as width 
of orifice.
