Head, orange brown, with orange mottling over the center of each cheek. ^Mandibles, dark brown. Pupation occurs immediately within the exit of the burrow, and the pupa is partly extruded at the time of hatching. Pupa: Length of average specimen 12 mm. Subfusiform, the cephalic end well rounded and the cauda blunt and free of crem- asteric hooks. The surface is relatively smooth throughout except for a series of spicules arranged in transverse rows. Each typical interseg- mental juncture is margined anteriorly and posteriorly with one of these rows, all of which, however, occur only on the dorsum, and fade out laterally as they approach the spiracles. The spicules aforementioned incline somewhat caudally. and undoubtedly assist the pupa in moving forward in the burrow. Eyes, prominent and rounded. Antennae extending approxi- mately % the distance towards margin of wings. The ends of the metathoracic legs are in line with the wing margins. Color of pupa, uniform light brown. The eyes become mark- edly darker as the time of emergence approaches. Larvae collected in August emerged in September and Octo'oer of the same year. Plate 12 illustrates the ' /' w.
