The Entomologists Monthly Magazine Volume 11 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1874-1876: Vols; 11-12 I have examined the position of the abdominal stigmata in the species characterized infra as P. Minor, and adjoin their description, as well as some points that have escaped observation in the anatomy of the genus. Abdominal stigmata two, three, and four, similar in shape to one another, moderately large, very Open, elliptical, stigma three rather larger than two or four. Stigmata two and three placed partly in the connecting membrane, and partly in the horny portion of the abdomen stigma four placed just in the horny portion close to the membrane stigma five placed also close to membrane, its position being similar to that of the fourth stigma, but it is smaller than that, though it is large and open. Stigma six is small and 'closed, scarcely quite so near the membrane as the fifth stigma, but yet very little distant therefrom. Stigma seven small, placed close to junction of the dorsal and ventral plates. Prosternum furnished with an elongate narrow post-coxal process, which is extremely densely clothed with very long hairs. Mesosternum produced between the middle coxae, these placed closed to one another, and separated only by a thin lamina.
