Structure: Female puparium dirty greyish white, somewhat expanded posteriorly, very convex. The second pellicle is generally so much raised up that its posterior edge forms quite a ridge over the secreted portion. Male puparium similar in color, convex, elongate, subcylindrical, not carinate. Adult female of normal form, brown in color. Abdomen ending in two median lobes, not adjacent, broadly rounded with short straight sides, the posterior margins very minutely serrulate (Maskell, 1894b).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Maskell (1894b).
