 certain Larvje of Acronycta oblinita, Guenee, and Hints on 

 Phylogeny of Lepidoptera. p. 25-54. 



Abundance of larva; of Vanessa Antiopa and Acronycta oblinita; habits 

 of the latter; effect of environment and peculiarities of food upon the

 of toil " he has " been enabled to construct " a genealogical tree.
