﻿CAPPERIA

  not 
  often 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  plants 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  larvae 
  have 
  matured 
  

   (Buckler). 
  The 
  larva 
  pupates 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  a 
  withered 
  leaf, 
  

   clod, 
  or 
  stone, 
  attached 
  by 
  the 
  anal 
  segment 
  (South). 
  

  

  Foodplants. 
  — 
  Teucrium 
  scorodonia 
  (Greening), 
  T. 
  chamaedrys 
  (0. 
  

   Hofmann) 
  [Marrubium 
  vulgar 
  e 
  (E. 
  Hofmann).] 
  

  

  Parasites. 
  — 
  Limneria 
  barrettii, 
  Bridg. 
  (Barrett), 
  L. 
  teucrii, 
  Bridg. 
  

   {W. 
  H. 
  B. 
  Fletcher), 
  Angilia 
  virginalis, 
  Grav., 
  Mesochorus 
  vitticollis, 
  

   Holm. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  subject 
  to 
  the 
  attacks 
  of 
  ichneumons. 
  I 
  

   bred 
  more 
  parasites 
  than 
  moths 
  from 
  the 
  larvae 
  reared 
  in 
  1900 
  

   (Crombrugghe 
  de 
  Picquendaele). 
  

  

  Pupa. 
  — 
  Length 
  8mm., 
  greenish, 
  more 
  olive-reddish 
  towards 
  

   the 
  anal 
  end, 
  greyer 
  in 
  front, 
  with 
  practically 
  no 
  markings. 
  Very 
  

   similar 
  in 
  build 
  to 
  the 
  pupa 
  of 
  Porrittia 
  galactodactyla, 
  Wheeleria 
  miga- 
  

   dactyla, 
  and 
  especially 
  Ovendenia 
  septodactyla 
  (lienigianus) 
  . 
  It 
  differs 
  

   from 
  the 
  latter 
  in 
  the 
  remarkable 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  

   tubercles 
  i 
  and 
  ii, 
  which 
  suggests 
  in 
  0. 
  septodactyla 
  the 
  design 
  carried 
  

   out 
  in 
  C. 
  heterodactyla 
  (teucrii), 
  viz., 
  the 
  hairs 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  are 
  all 
  

   arranged 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  antero-posterior 
  flanges, 
  forming, 
  on 
  each 
  segment, 
  

   a 
  pair, 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  are 
  extensions 
  of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  flanges. 
  It 
  differs 
  

   especially 
  in 
  having, 
  internally 
  conjoined, 
  i 
  + 
  ii, 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  dorsum, 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  secondary 
  hairs, 
  one 
  pointing 
  forward 
  

   and 
  one 
  backward, 
  certainly 
  small, 
  but 
  still 
  such 
  that, 
  without 
  the 
  

   homology 
  with 
  Ovendenia 
  septodactyla, 
  etc., 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  impossible 
  to 
  say 
  

   that 
  it 
  might 
  not 
  be 
  the 
  real 
  i 
  and 
  ii. 
  The 
  fan-like 
  tubercle 
  iii 
  (contain- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  wing-line 
  of 
  hairs) 
  is 
  less 
  developed, 
  each 
  tubercle 
  possessing 
  two 
  

   hairs 
  only 
  ; 
  tubercles 
  i 
  and 
  ii, 
  combined, 
  possess 
  five 
  hairs, 
  fan-wise, 
  

   not 
  quite 
  antero-posteriorly 
  arranged, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  front 
  slightly 
  

   twisted 
  outwards, 
  but 
  so 
  little 
  that 
  the 
  effect 
  is 
  to 
  present 
  the 
  series 
  as 
  

   all 
  lying 
  in 
  one 
  plane 
  ; 
  iii 
  has 
  a 
  true 
  hair 
  pointing 
  forwards, 
  smooth 
  

   and 
  pointed, 
  and 
  a 
  very 
  similar 
  secondary 
  hair 
  curved 
  backwards 
  ; 
  the 
  

   secondary 
  hair 
  has, 
  however, 
  no 
  well-marked 
  ring-base, 
  is 
  thick, 
  

   blunt, 
  glassy-looking, 
  and 
  coarsely 
  spiculated. 
  This 
  difference 
  between 
  

   primary 
  and 
  secondary 
  hairs 
  shows 
  the 
  mediodorsal 
  double 
  pairs 
  to 
  be 
  

   secondary, 
  that 
  i 
  and 
  ii 
  lie 
  nearly 
  flat, 
  forwards 
  and 
  backwards 
  (like 
  Steno- 
  

   ptilia 
  pterodactyla, 
  etc.), 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  upstanding 
  hairs 
  are 
  secondary. 
  

   Equally, 
  iv 
  + 
  v 
  are 
  a 
  triplet, 
  the 
  upstanding 
  central 
  hair 
  being 
  

   secondary 
  ; 
  vi 
  carries 
  a 
  long 
  hair 
  sloping 
  backwards, 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  

   projecting 
  secondary. 
  The 
  head 
  is 
  well 
  armed 
  with 
  hairs 
  which 
  form 
  

   a 
  border, 
  chiefly 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  antenna?. 
  The 
  mesothorax 
  

   has 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  long 
  hairs 
  (i 
  ?) 
  within 
  the 
  dorsal 
  flanges, 
  which 
  are 
  

   ringed 
  with 
  black, 
  fading 
  out 
  to 
  their 
  tips. 
  The 
  dorsal 
  flanges 
  (as 
  in 
  

   Platypodia) 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  strong, 
  but 
  are 
  accentuated 
  by 
  a 
  continuous 
  

   row 
  of 
  hairs, 
  most 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  secondary 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  metathorax 
  the 
  

   largest 
  hair 
  of 
  the 
  flange 
  is 
  primary, 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  couple 
  of 
  

   primaries 
  at 
  its 
  outer 
  front 
  angle. 
  In 
  front, 
  the 
  band 
  projects 
  a 
  little 
  

   ventrally, 
  the 
  1st 
  leg 
  has 
  a 
  strong 
  keel, 
  like 
  the 
  pupa 
  of 
  Eucnemido- 
  

   phorus 
  rhododactyla, 
  but 
  much 
  more 
  marked, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  femur 
  

   visible. 
  The 
  antenme 
  have 
  a 
  fine 
  hair 
  to 
  each 
  joint, 
  but 
  legs, 
  

   maxillae, 
  etc., 
  are 
  without 
  them. 
  There 
  are 
  two 
  hairs 
  (primaries) 
  at 
  

   the 
  eye-centre, 
  one 
  on 
  the 
  clypeus 
  (each 
  side), 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  labrum. 
  

   The 
  antennae 
  end 
  2mm. 
  short 
  of 
  bhe 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  appendages, 
  and 
  the 
  

   1st 
  legs 
  go 
  only 
  about 
  0*8mm. 
  further; 
  the 
  8rd 
  logs 
  are 
  barely 
  

   visible, 
  the 
  2nd 
  being 
  but 
  slightly 
  separated 
  at 
  the 
  tip.
