211) is not a pupa obtecta, but has the head and appendages free,
and is provided with enormous mandibles. Although these Insects in
general appearance resemble Eriocephala to such an extent that
both have been placed in one genus, viz. Micropteryx, yet the two
forms are radically distinct. The most remarkable point in Micropteryx
is the metamorphosis; the female moth is furnished with a cutting
ovipositor, by the aid of which she deposits an egg between the two
layers of a leaf after the manner of a saw-fly;[342] the larva mines the
newly-opened leaves in the early spring, and feeds up with rapidity; it
by some means reaches the ground, and there pupates in a firm but
thin cocoon, with grains of earth fastened to it; in this it passes the
greater part of its life as a larva, changing to a pupa very early in the
following spring. The pupa is unlike any other Lepidopterous pupa,
but is similar to those of Trichoptera; neither the head nor the
appendages are glued to the body or to one another, but are free, so
that the pupa can use the appendages to a considerable extent; it is
furnished with enormous mandibles (Fig. 211, C, D), which are
detached and shed after emergence.[343] In the interval between the
larval period of feeding and the imaginal instar, the phenomena of
life are essentially like those of Trichoptera. The larva has not been
at all satisfactorily studied; the spiracles appear to be excessively
minute, but have been ascertained by Dr. Chapman to be normal in
number and position.
The pupal instar is of two distinct kinds. First, we meet with a pupa
like that of Lepidoptera, viz. a mummy-like object, or pupa obtecta, in
which there is a crisp outer shell, formed in part by the adherent
cases of the appendages of the future imago. This condition, with a
few exceptions to be subsequently noticed, obtains in the Nemocera
and Brachycera. It is exhibited in various degrees of perfection,
being most complete in Tipulidae; in other forms the shell is softer
and the appendages more protuberant. The second kind of pupa is
found in the Cyclorrhaphous flies; it has externally no marks except
some faint circular rings and, frequently, a pair of projections from
near one extremity of the body; occasionally there is a single
prominence at the other extremity of the body. This condition is due
to the fact that the larva does not escape from the skin at the last
ecdysis, but merely shrinks within it, so that the larval skin, itself
contracted and altered by an excretion of chitin, remains and forms a
perfect protection to the included organism. This kind of pupa looks
like a seed, and is well exemplified by the common Blow-fly. The
capacity for entering on such a condition is evidently correlative with
the absence of a larval head. The metamorphosis in this curious little
barrel goes on in a different manner to what it does in the pupa
obtecta. A good name for the whole structure of this instar has not
been found. Older authors called it "pupa coarctata," or "nympha
inclusa"; Brauer speaks of it as a "compound pupa"; ordinarily in our
language it is called a "puparium," a term which is more applicable to
the case alone.
In species having a pupa obtecta the larval skin is cast after the chief
processes of the external metamorphosis have occurred, and then
an exudation of chitin hardens the general surface. In the
"compound pupa" of the Blow-fly there is for a considerable period
no formed pupa at all, but merely a shell or case containing the
results of histolysis and the centres for regeneration of new organs;
the chitin-exudation to the exterior of the larval skin occurs in the
early part of the series of metamorphic changes, and the organism
breaks down to a cream within the shell thus formed, and then
gradually assumes therein the condition of a soft, nymphoid pupa.
The exceptional conditions previously referred to as exhibited by a
few forms are certain cases in which a more or less perfect pupa
obtecta is found within the last larval skin, as is the case in
Stratiomys. Another highly remarkable condition exists in the
Hessian fly, and a few other Cecidomyiids, where the Insect
apparently makes an exudation which it uses as a covering case,
independent of the larval skin; this latter being subsequently shed
inside the case, so that this condition of coarctate pupa differs from
that we have described as existing in Cyclorrhaphous flies, although
the two are superficially similar. In the Pupipara the larval stage is
passed in the body of the mother, which produces a succession of
young, nourished one at a time by the secretion of glands; this young
is born as a full-grown larva that becomes at once a pupa.
