The blastoderm becomes evie | dent when the egg is about twelve hours old, and segmentation is in process at thirty hours (Plate I, Figure 1).

The protocerebrum and deutocerebrum can be “a | t | } i distinguished easily from other segments when the eges are thirty | hour old, but the remaining segments are very similar to each other. (Plate I, Figures 1 and 2). The germ band consists of | twenty segments, six of which are cephalic, three thoracic, and twenty-one hours as a pair of large lobes, and the deutocerebrum, bearing the antennae, appears at about the same time.

The more trus stwor thy embryological studies however, show the true origin ‘to. be. from the cliypeus. This fact preecrs the possibility that “the "nandibuter sclerite” of Cicada may not have its origin in mandibular segment. At any rate, it is certain that there is no- ‘mandibular sclerite” in A. tristis. The labrum, before emer= i | gence, -becomes transversely and deeply grooved on the dorsal sure nent of the labium. Into this depression the labrum fits very losely, when in its normal position. On its ventral surface, (the labrum is deeply grooved, to admit the mandibular and maxil- as na ey setae.

The ro ve gradually becomes shallow until at the tip of the labrum a j there is only a shallow furrow for the setae (Plate 5, Figure/2, ae :). For about onei half the distance from base to tip of the labrum, the setae lie entirely within the labral groove (Plate 5, el3, li.gr.).

A distinct maxillary palpus appears laterally at y the base of the maxillary fundament when the egg is seventy-five in i | “aa . [hours old, and this palpus is prominent when revolution occurs | (Plate 7, Figure 21, mx.p.). The palpus enters the head with the | maxillary fundament. When the egg is one-hundred-and-forty hours — | old, this palpus is still found near the tip of the maxillary a. but has undergone considerable modification (Plate 6, Rigure 17, mx.p.). Modification continues until the maxillary | palpi form pointed chitinous pieces which fit closely into a V ae Retard cavity at the base of the labrum (Plate 8, Figure 22, ne REP. ). There is thus formed a very hard chitinous bridge, con- | sisting of the two modified palpi pressed closely together.

They are larger than the mandibles, | bw , the walls of the maxillae are not quite so heavy as those of . oT | the mandibles. Like the mandibles, the maxillae develop as a re * a . closed tube, the lateral walls of which grow together in such a Bey way as to divide the lumen of the tube into two canals--cne dorsal mee ite other ventral (Plate 8, Figure 23, lu.). The inner face of each maxilla bears two grooves such that when the maxillae are | Gor baht together, two open tubes are formed.

The ventral tube which is “sma ler in caliber, connects with the "Wanzenspritze" and opens ro. at the distal end in much the same manner as the larger canal — (Plate 8, Figure 24, sco ). This canal, however, opens a lit- ie i ta Jere nearer the tips of the maxillae than does the food canal. ‘a ‘The apices tips of the maxillae are very sharp and can readily pierce the food plant. 4 | The tongue and groove articulations holding the maxillae "together are very perfectly made and are somewhat complicated | (Plate 8, Figure 24, mx.a.). These joints hold so perfectly that iat is almost impossible to separate the maxillae without thruste- "ing a needle between their bases back within the head of the in- "sect. The maxillary setae may be moved lengthwise and alternate= |2y with perfect ease. The joints are so perfectly fitted that "they are doubtless air tight, especially where the walls of the \lavfum press upon the setae. In this manner the tubes are per- “fectly adapted to their offices of conveying the plant juices [brought up by suction and the saliva forced down by pressure. \Indeea, this pressure required to force the saliva into the tise AF (sues of the food plant, makes this perfect union of the maxillae la _nesressity. Otherwise, the pressure would doubtless separate ia setae, and thus destroy the tube. The edges of the maxillae lere smooth throughout and there are no teeth or barbs near the “ep such as are found on the mandibles. Only a part of the max- | ‘|allary fundament is involved in the famation of the finished LABIUM. | Me labial anal is larger than the other de aoate which ri ise to mouth parts, even when the egg is only thirty hours : past Figure 1, 1i). When the egg is fifty hours old the merente are prominent and are considerably longer than a of the mendibles and the maxillae.
