The per- fect insect resembles the Lejiidoj^tei-a in many respects, and lives near water on leaves, and the stems of trees. The female lays her eggs in clumps enclosed in a gelatinous case on stones and leaves near water. Phrijganca striata L. (fig. 469). Mijstachlcs quadrifasciatiig Fabr., Iliidropsyche variabilis Pict.

The larva freed from its case (re^iie animal). consist of two pointed mandibles which overlap one another, and small maxillae, which are fused with the lower lip and are provided â with two-jointed palps. The prothorax and mesothorax are two very short rings, but the metathorax is unusually elongated, and covers the base of the abdomen, which consists of nine segments. The males possess small rolled-up wing covers, and very large hind wings, which can be folded longitudinally like a fan. The females have no eyes, and remain through life without wings or legs like maggots; they never leave their pupal skin nor their parasitic * W. Kirby, "Strepsiptera, a new order of Insects," Tr
