Pi is always longer and usually stouter than P.,, and P3 is usually slightly shorter than P2. Pi is of 10-17, usually 10-13, segments, and 5-9 mm. long. It is not free proximally, for its first four to six segments are closely attached to the disk, and the next one or two are connected by a web of tissue with the disk (Fig. 15 c). It is sometimes much stouter than P2 with its basal segments strongly compressed so that they are keeled dorsally; it is sometimes only slightly heavier with none of its segments compressed. The basal.
