OBSERVATIONS ON THE ECONOMY, MOULTING, AND PUPATION, &c., 
OP A LARVA OF NEPTICULA AUBELLA, TOGETHER WITH SOME 
REMARKS RESPECTING THE HABITS OP THE PARASITE OP 
THAT SPECIES. 
BY CHAELES HEALY. 
(Concluded from page 29.) 
The pupa presented a very pretty appearance, the head, thorax, 
and wing-cases being enclosed, as it were, in a covering of very thin 
white glass, the abdomen being of a pale sulphur-yellow ; the pupa 
was then exceedingly tender, and could only be touched with the 
greatest caution. About three parts down the dorsal surface of the 
abdomen a pale brown patch was observable, and on the back of the 
head were two parallel chains of dusky coloured dots ; after two days 
the eyes became pale brown, and the two parallel chains of dusky spots 
disappeared, and their place was occupied by a pale reddish patch, and 
three little dark spots were visible near the base of the thorax. The 
colour of the abdomen gradually deepened to orange-yellow ; the next 
day the spots near the base of the thorax disappeared, and also the brown 
patch on the abdomen. The pupa, which had hitherto remained 
inactive, now wriggled its abdomen about, and the parts of the pupa 
having now become much firmer, it could be turned about and examined 
with less risk of injury.
