The pupa (fig. 10, h) has an average length of from 4 to 5 mm. It is light brown, long and slender, terminating posteriorly in a broad, somewhat dej^ressed cremaster, with two short lateral spines on either side; the wing sheaths are narrow, with free, pointed extremities reaching almost to the end of the body: the hind borders of the ab- dominal segments are smooth; there is a chitinous semiring- like ridge on the an- terior portion of the third to seventh ab- dominal segments. On emergence of the adult, the pupal skin remains within the Fig. lU.—The cigar case-ljearer (Coleophora flctcherclhn : a.
