FAMILY AGARISTIDAE 
ALYPIA OCTOMACULATA FAB. 
Food plants: Grape, Virginia creeper, Boston ivy. 
Occurrence: Collections from New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. There were several 
local outbreaks reported in Massachusetts from 1921 to 1929, but in each case 
me infested vines were growing in small gardens or on buildings in residential 
istricts. | 
Totals received: Collections, 93; larvae, 3,878; years, 15. 
Larvae: June to September. 
Pupae: July and August, and July to next summer. 
Adults: Late May to July, and July to August. 
Remarks: In these rearings it was found that the last instar larvae would 
bore into and pupate successfully in cork, so this method has been continued 
each year. Occasionally pupae remain in a dormant state through 1 or more 
years. For example, a collection of larvae taken July 12, 1928, pupated on or 
before July 20, and from these adults issued August 1928; June 1929; June 1930; 
and June 1931.
