The larva of a species of tbis genus (7). hncrates, Fabr.) commits great liavoc 

 among Poniegi'anates, and is an especially interesting object (jf study from tlie unusual 

 method of procedure adopted b)' it. According to Mr. Charles King, several larvoD reside 

 in the interior of the same fruit, and bi'fore undergoing their metamorphosis, which 

 takes place in the interior, each caterpillar perforates the rind, and in concert with 

 its co-occupants, weaves a strong silken band with the purpose of attaching the fruit 

 firmly to its stalk and preventing its being blown off and coming to the ground. Mr. 

 E. T. Diiwnes, however, was unsuccessful in verifying the interesting observations 

 of Mr. King, as the larvre, which he surrounded with gauze in order to watch them 

 in the process of weaving the band connecting the fruit with the stalk, declined to 

 re-enter the fruit, and actually underwent their metamoi'phosis on the outside of it 

 {vide Horsfield, Catalogue, p. 36).
