Results of work on blister beetles in Kansas . fig. 13).—Length, about mm.;width, about mm.; widest in front of middle ofhead just behind eyes, from which point the headtapers posteriorly for the last half or more of itslength. In this respect it agrees with triungulins ofEpicauta pcnnsylvanica and E. lemmiscata,3 but dif-fers from Rileys figure of E. vittata* The head ofthe latter is parallel-sided, resembling Macrobasisimmaculata, but differing in having a very short pos-terior portion or neck and in having the eyes located about the middle ofthe length of the head. In all triunguli
Results of work on blister beetles in Kansas . fig. 13).—Length, about mm.;width, about mm.; widest in front of middle ofhead just behind eyes, from which point the headtapers posteriorly for the last half or more of itslength. In this respect it agrees with triungulins ofEpicauta pcnnsylvanica and E. lemmiscata,3 but dif-fers from Rileys figure of E. vittata* The head ofthe latter is parallel-sided, resembling Macrobasisimmaculata, but differing in having a very short pos-terior portion or neck and in having the eyes located about the middle ofthe length of the head. In all triungulins examined by the writer the eyesare located much nearer the anterior portion ofthe head. In other respects the triungulin of this species re-sembles that of Macrobasis immaculata (p. 8). Active larvw.—Neither the growing stages nor the third larva were recognized so they could be described. Coarctate larva.—The writers records show one coarctate larva that measured 9 mm. long by 4 mm. wide which yielded an adult of this species. Fig. 13.—Epicauta macu-lata: Triungulin. En-larged.
