PHRYGANEIDZ. 
LarvaL Hasits.—The habits of N. pardalis do not seem to 
differ from those of N. postica. 
PrepupAL Hazirs.—No pupz were taken under normal con- 
ditions, but probably, if known, their habits would be found like 
those of other members of the genus. 
In captivity, where no opportunity for burrowing was offered, 
the cases were tightly attached to vegetation before pupation took 
place. 
Foop oF THE Larva:.—No stomach examinations were made, 
but the food eaten in captivity does not differ from that taken by 
N. postica. Probably in nature the diet of the two species is the 
same.

ond abdominal segment, 5 mm.
