 banded cocoon is figured on Plate ii., fig. 11. Of C. tenuiventris, 

 Gravenhorst says (I. E. iii. 483) that Nees bred a female from a 

 cocoon with two fasciae and the base black, it was parasitic on 

 Amphidasys hetularia ; whilst Sturm bred it from a 2|- line long, 

 white, ovate cocoon, spotted with black, and with two black bands 

 [cingulis) ; Bignell has bred it from Hemithea thymiaria and 

 Hyhei'nia progemmaria ; cocoon cylindrical (S^ by Ij lines), very 

 compact, brown, two bands base and apex black ; Giraud from 

 Epliyra punctaria and Brischke from Eupithecia pimpinellata. 

 C. orhitalis has been bred from young larvsB of Deilephila galii 

 and from Anticlea sinuata by Brischke ; cocoon elliptical, rough, 

 whitish, more or less black-spotted at the poles. He also says 

 that C. senicula, Gr., pupates in a similar manner to C. eheninus,
