Cervical shield brown, paler than the head, broadly shield-shaped with 
quite a broad median white line, a few rather long hairs and several 
shorter ones scattered over the surface. The remainder of the pro¬ 
thorax, the meso- and meta-thorax same color as the rest of the body. 
Legs pale, three-jointed, supported by dark brown chitinous frame¬ 
work ; several short rather stout hairs on each segment; a whitish, 
elliptical, striated lobe arising beside the single brown tarsal claw. 
Segments four to eleven, all similar, skin wrinkled, somewhat papillose, 
a few scattering hairs over each segment; on the lateral margin of each 
segment is a long stiff hair just posterior to one and sometimes two 
smaller and shorter hairs. Dorsal shield of posterior segment semi¬ 
circular in outline, dark brown, finely sculptured so as to produce num¬ 
erous hexagonal pitted areas much resembling the markings on the 
eggs; several strong marginal hairs and two sub triangular processes 
near the posterior end. A single fleshy proleg. 
The larva agrees almost perfectly with Prof. H. Garman s descrip¬ 
tion of the larva of D. 12-punctata as given in Psyche, Vol. VI, p. 48. 
The only special difference I would note is in the description of the dor¬ 
sal shield of the posterior segment which he describes as follows: “ Dor¬ 
sal shield of posterior body segment nearly circular m outline, brown, 
with numerous minute black specks, slightly rimmed at posterior mar- 
o-in, and in young examples obscurely bituberculate; furnished with 
several strong marginal hairs, and with four minute, striate, centrally- 
placed spatulate appendages.” 
Pupa. _Whitish or straw-colored. Length .4 mm., width .2 mm. 
Scattered brown hairs over the body arranged as follows: six on the 
head arranged in three transverse pairs, one pair close to the base and 
just cephalad of the antennae, one just caudad of the antennae, and one 
near the meso-dorsal angle of the eyes; ten on the prothorax, one pair 
on the anterior margin, one pair near the lateral margin, and one pair 
near the posterior margin, a pair just anterior and a larger pair just 
posterior to the middle near the mesal line; an arched row of four hairs- 
each on the meso- and meta-thorax; a pair in the middle and one on 
each side of each abdominal segment; last three segments with another 
pair slightly anterior to and more widely separated than the median 
pair; last segment also with a pair between and a pair in the bases o 
the caudal spines, and another pair just anterior to the lateral pair. 
Caudal spines usually slightly curved, brownish at tips. Each femur 
with three hairs near the extremity. Wing pads clear white, covering 
the proximal part of the posterior femor. Antenna curving outward
