First stage. — Head round, notched from behind at vertex, dark blackish 
brown ; width 0.3 min. Setae very short, pale with glandular tips ; a short 
thick process on end of anal plate bearing two setae. Tubercles 1 and 2 
nearly in line, o above the spiracle. 4 below and behind it. -5 anteriorly 
subventral ; a small black leg plate. Body somewhat humpy, the 
segments obscurely 3-annulate. Color brown, blotched with white, forming 
distinct patches on joints 5, 8, 9, and 11. Some lateral dots extend the 
whole length, also on the slight dorsal elevation on joint 12 and on the edge 
of the anal plate. 
Second stage. — Head bilobed, pale brown, dotted with darker brown, with 
a transverse pale line above the middle; width 0.6 mm. Tubercles pale 
with enlarged bases, especially the subdorsal pair on joints 3-4 ; setae short. 
Joint 13 with a lateral ridge and short upturned process on anal plate. No 
anal feet. Body varied with brown, white, and yellowish, the pale color 
predominating on joints 2, o, 8, 9, and 11. 
Third stage. — Essentially as in the next stage. Width of head 1.05 mm.

Fifth stage. — Head rather square, higher than joint 2, distinctly bilobed, 
the lobes rounded, flat before ; clypeus small. Pale, whitish, thickly mottled
