350 THE CANADIAN ENTCMOLO'JIST, 



lifted up, and with a mucilagenous matter the wood was mixed and 

 cemented, and the mouth of the hibernacuhim was sealed up by 2 p. m. 

 As long as the seal was soft, the larva's efforts could be plainly seen keep- 

 ing it up with its mouth parts. On the third and fifth day I found the 

 larva was in the same condition as when it entered. On the seventh day 

 I opened the hibernaculum further back — the larva had cemented the 

 other places — and found that it was a larva still. On the tenth day, how- 

 ever, the larva had pupated. 



Pupa. — Colour reddish-brown over the wing parts and abdomen ; over 

 the head parts and upper and lower sides of the thoracic region, of a darker 

 shade. The proboscis case prominent ; the neuration of the wings plainly 

 visible. On each side of the abdomen are seven black round and raised 

 spots, which are glossy white, the rest is finely granulated. Cremastral 

 spines and a flattened area, at the end of the abdomen, black. Length, 

 15 mm.
