. Bulletin, Gulf Biologic Station. Biology -- Societies, etc. 14 Dorsal and ventral areas striate, striae entire, distinct, and not very fine: lateral striation a little finer, that of the prothorax very fine, with a small smooth spot adjoining the smoother surface of its ventral area: Ifitter shorter than dorsal, not including anterior pair of setae, medium sulcus scarcelj' dull pubescent. Meso- and metathorax vi^ith lateral impressed lines, and dull pubescent pale annul!, but the lateral lines almost without pubescence. Fleshy false feet of abdominals rather prominent, dorsal pair united into one, there being no narrowing near the median line; annuli very pale, except on the last two or three segments; last segment white basally, remainder covered with a dull blackish microscopic pubescence reach- ing forward to the anal prominence, a triangular extension each side of middle above, often a small spot accompanying each; respiratory tube whitish, spine sometimes projecting. Length of pupa 9-1 (• millimeters, diameter 2 millimeters. Light brown ferruginous, obsolerely transversely wrinkled, head and thorax shining, abdomen duller. Antennal sheaths not very thick at the base, surpassing the margi- nal angulation above ihem: carinated tubercles not prominent, lateral notches broad and sliallow, palpal sheaths indefinite, rather distant; setiferous tubercles scarcely darker; ocellar tubercles replaced by pale dots. Rima of thoracic spiracles strongly elevated from the inner side, so thai the toji of the prominence is nearly vertical, the upper edge of the rimal border forming a sharp carina and its anterior extremity ending at the tip of the marginal extension in an acute angle; the free lower edge is crossed by sharp ridges, giving it a separate pro- tile; rima less curved at middle, more strongly at each end, scarcely hooked; inner notch with radiating striations. The abdominal fringes consist of a single row of pale spines on each segment, rather long excent dorsal
