270 EMPHYTUS CINGULATUS. 



(J smaller, with no white band on abdomen, the base of tibiae with no 

 white, and the antennas thicker. 

 Length 4 4| lines. 



The larva feeds on the common rose, the leaves of 

 which it eats along the edges, and, when at rest, 

 remains curled up in a ball on the underside of the 

 leaf. The body is stout, cylindrical, but thicker on the 

 thoracic region than towards the tail. The head is 

 light brownish, yellow, or light fuscous ; a broad 

 brownish-black band goes from the back of the head 

 to the middle ; the eyes black, and mouth dark brown. 

 The upper part of the body is dark green ; the sides 

 greyish- white. The skin is wrinkled and beset with 

 small, shining white tubercles. Legs white, with a 

 black-greyish mark over each of them, and white- 

 brown claws. 



The Iarv83 appear from July to October. The eggs 

 are laid on the underside of the leaves, several being 

 laid on the same leaf. As a rule, the larvae pupate in 

 the rose branches. 



Cryptus emphytorum, Boie, is its parasite. 



Commonly distributed, especially in gardens. 



Continental distribution: Sweden, Germany, Holland, 

 France, Switzerland, Tyrol, Hungary, Russia and 

 Eastern Siberia.
