Segmentation commences unequally, a micromere and a macromere with all the yolk being formed. Both micromere and macromere take part in the second (text-figure 9c) and probably also in the third division, but after this the yolk-containing cells cease to divide. The continued division of those without yolk leads to their rapid extension over the yolked cells and gastrulation (text-figure 9 D, E, F) thus takes place by epibole. Beyond the gastrula I have not been able to trace development. The next stage observed is comparatively far advanced, showing a single pair of rudimentary processes, probably representing the antennae. I.
