Excerpt from Technical Results From the Gipsy Moth Parasite Laboratory, Vol. 4: The Chalcidoid Genus Perilampus and Its Relations to the Problem of Parasite IntroductionIt was less than three-tenths of a millimeter in length, and therefore almost invisible to the unaided eye, oblong - ovate in shape and dark brown in color. Examination under the microscope showed it to be a highly organized being with well-defined mouth parts, strong, curved mandibles, conspicuous tracheal system, etc. The 13 segments were well differentiated, the first forming a distinct head, which was armed with several recurved books. The dorsal segments consisted of a series of heavy, chitinous, and overlapping plates, which nearly encir cled the body. Most of these were furnished with one or two pairs of bristles. Ventrally the larva was furnished with several backward projecting spines, which were evidently ambulatorial in function. An attempt to rear the adult from this larva was unsuccessful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
