and large heads ; the larvae pupate in spring, the first pupae having 

 been found on 26th March, and the first adult weevils on 15th April, 

 the time of the development of the pupa, is two weeks. The eggs are 

 usually laid in the calices of apples, though in some cases in the labora- 

 tory they were found on leaves of apple and pear, on which the adults 

 feed. The damage done by this weevil is not very serious, unless it 

 is present in large numbers. The use of tanglefoot belts is advised 

 against it. The adults of P. obliquatus, Faust, appear simul- 

 taneously with those of P. dohrni. In the laboratory they feed on 

 leaves of apple and pear, on the lower side of which they oviposit.
