In the other sub- order, Cyclorrhapha, the pupa retains the hardened skin of the larva as a protective covering or " puparium," and is usually capable of very slight movement; from this " co-arctate " type of pupa (Fig. 209A) the adult escapes by pushing off the anterior end of the puparium with a hernia-like outgrowth on the front of the head. This outgrowth, called the " ptilinium " (Fig. 210A), shrinks after the fly has emerged, but leaves a permanent cres- cent-shaped mark on the head known as the " frontal lunule " (Fig. 210B) which embraces the bases of the antennae, and gives.
