Coarctate larva (fig. 8).—Length, mm.; width, to mm.; shapeelongate hemispherical, resembling the halfof a peanut kernel if the ends of the latterwere bent toward its flat side and its edgesthickened; color reddish brown; entirelyinactive, the skin rigid; location of ap-pendages shown by tubercular projections;limits of head shown by a constriction nearthe anterior end; segmentation of bodyplainly shown dorsally but less distinct ventrally; spiracles in shallow depressed line above the thickened edges. Third larva.—Measurements difficult to make, though greater than for the coarctate larva; color white; shape robust, fleshy, and much wrinkled, larva.
