ON THE MOULT TO PUPA IN PTEROPHOBUS. 



By T. A. Chapbian, M.D., F.E.S. 



The pupse in the Pterophorina are suspended by the cre- 

 master only, and are suspended in all attitudes, as, for example, 

 with head upwards or downwards on a vertical surface, or even 

 back downwards under a horizontal one. Being quite ignorant 

 on the point, I desired to see how the hold on the cremaster was 

 obtained, and how the pupa was sustained at the critical moment 

 of quitting the larval hold of the silken carj)et. Incidentally, I 

 desired to learn the precise arrangement of the cremaster, which 

 in this family consists of two portions — a forward portion and a 

 terminal one. I have usually considered the forward portion as 

 springing from the eighth abdominal segment, and this proves 

 to be correct ; the doubt arises from the fact that in many 

 species the tenth segment appears to stretch forwards anteriorly — 

 does, in fact, so stretch forwards that it almost appears to reach
