  Buckler 
  writes 
  [Ent. 
  Mo. 
  Mat/., 
  

   x., 
  p. 
  182 
  (1874)] 
  that, 
  on 
  April 
  25th, 
  1873, 
  he 
  received 
  from 
  Stainton, 
  

   larvae, 
  feeding 
  on 
  shoots 
  and 
  flower-buds 
  of 
  Coris 
  monspeliensis, 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  Primulaceae, 
  taken 
  atMentone. 
  The 
  young 
  larvae 
  seem, 
  at 
  first, 
  to 
  feed 
  

   in 
  the 
  stems 
  of 
  the 
  young 
  shoots 
  of 
  the 
  plant, 
  the 
  heads 
  of 
  which 
  then 
  

   hang 
  and 
  become 
  bleached 
  ; 
  as 
  they 
  grow, 
  they 
  enter 
  the 
  flower-buds, 
  

   feeding 
  on 
  the 
  calyx 
  and 
  its 
  contents; 
  at 
  this 
  time, 
  the 
  only 
  sign 
  of 
  the 
  

   presence 
  of 
  a 
  larva 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  hole 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  calyx, 
  

   and 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  minute 
  grains 
  of 
  frass 
  just 
  within 
  the 
  cavity. 
  As 
  they 
  

   advanced 
  towards 
  maturity, 
  their 
  assimilation 
  to 
  the 
  flower-buds, 
  in 
  

   point 
  of 
  colour, 
  was 
  very 
  close 
  ; 
  and 
  they 
  were 
  often 
  noticed 
  either 
  

   outside 
  among 
  the 
  flower-buds, 
  or 
  on 
  the 
  stems 
  of 
  the 
  plant. 
  The 
  

   larvae 
  pupated 
  on 
  May 
  6th, 
  11th, 
  and 
  13th 
  ; 
  the 
  imago 
  from 
  the 
  first 
  

   appeared 
  on 
  June 
  12th, 
  but 
  the 
  other 
  two 
  pupae 
  dried 
  up. 
  The 
  moth, 
  

   although 
  somewhat 
  dwarfed 
  in 
  size, 
  appears 
  to 
  be, 
  without 
  doubt, 
  

   aridus, 
  Zell. 
  The 
  youngest 
  larvae, 
  when 
  first 
  detect 
  ed, 
  wore 
  described 
  

   as 
  being 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  About 
  2 
  lines 
  long, 
  of 
  a 
  deep 
  purplish-pink 
  colour, 
  slightly 
  subdued 
  by 
  a 
  

   greenish 
  tinge 
  ; 
  the 
  skin 
  much 
  covered 
  with 
  exceedingly 
  minute, 
  short, 
  bristly 
  

   points; 
  the 
  wart-like 
  tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  back 
  each 
  bearing 
  a 
  single 
  white 
  bristle. 
  

   rather 
  long, 
  and 
  a 
  trifle 
  thickened 
  at 
  the 
  tip; 
  the 
  small 
  head 
  greenish, 
  and 
  marked 
  

   on 
  each 
  lobe 
  with 
  dark 
  brown, 
  and 
  studded 
  with 
  white 
  hairs; 
  dorsal 
  and 
  subdorsal 
  

   lines 
  of 
  darker 
  purplish-pink 
  than 
  the 
  ground 
  colour 
  could 
  also 
  be 
  seen. 
  

  

  The 
  fuilgrown 
  larva 
  was 
  noted 
  as 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Attaining 
  a 
  maximum 
  size 
  of 
  little 
  more 
  than 
  I 
  lines 
  in 
  Length 
  ; 
  the 
  figure 
  

   slender 
  in 
  proportion; 
  cylindrical 
  above, 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  flattened 
  on 
  the 
  belly, 
  tapering 
  

   in 
  front 
  from 
  the 
  third 
  segment 
  to 
  the 
  head, 
  winch 
  was 
  small 
  ; 
  tin 
  1 
  three 
  binder 
  

   segments 
  also 
  a 
  little 
  tapering 
  ; 
  all 
  the 
  legs 
  tolerably 
  well-developed; 
  the 
  segmenta 
  

   plump, 
  with 
  divisions 
  deeply 
  indented, 
  anil 
  the 
  subdividing 
  wrinkles 
  well 
  defined 
  ; 
  

   the 
  colour 
  greenish, 
  suffused 
  with 
  pink; 
  the 
  inflated 
  spiraeular 
  region 
  a 
  little 
  paler 
  

   than 
  the 
  rest, 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  any 
  lines; 
  the 
  bead 
  brown; 
  tin 
  1 
  spiracles 
  dark 
  brown. 
  

   circular, 
  and 
  very 
  small 
  ; 
  all 
  the 
  hairs 
  brownish.
