Fig. 9 Outline of liead of nympli ofArgia apicalis with the wings borne at a considerable elevation. Legs short, usually banded transversely, and bearing spines as well as hairs. Abdomen stout, somewhat tapering, and with its segments decreasing in length to the ninth, the tenth again a little longer. Gills oblong about half as long as wide, obtuse at apex and generally \vith paler apical marking-s. Among alcoholic specimens frequently, and among fresh specimens occasion- ally, the gills are absent, being easily broken off. If their loss occur early in nymphal life, they are regenerated, and it is no uncommon thing to find a specimen with one, two or three of the gill plates of smaller size than the normal. The loss of the gills seems not to affect seriously the respiration of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York State Museum; New York State Museum.
