PLATE 15. 
Fig. 29. Semicliagrammatic view from the ventral aspect of the head of a 
mosquito larva ; picro-carmine preparation. 
Fig. 30. Similar head from dorsal aspect; younger specimen. 
Fig. 31. Exuviated head cuticle to show relations of traverses, apodemes 
of the^flabellae, pharynx, epipharynx, etc. 
Fig. 32. Median longitudinal section of head of full grown larva; compounded 
several sections. It is distorted so that the epipharynx lies too far back 
relatively to the labium and adjacent organs; (compare with fig. 36) ; 
labial bud cut in midline between eminences. 
Fig. 33. Dorsal view of pharynx of mosquito larva. 
Fig. 34. Section of lower anterior region of head of mature larva to show 
relations of labial bud; bud cut to one side of midline through one of 
the two eminences. 
Fig. 35. Lateral aspect of larval pharynx, dorsal plate removed. 
Fig. 36. Section of part of head of pupating larva to illustrate fate of ventral 
fold, epi 1 — cuticular sheath of epipharynx. Compare with figs. 32 
and 34.
