Several specimens were bred last summer by Mr. Scott; pre- 
viously the insect had been extremely rare with us. The larva 
(according to Réaumur) feeds in winter in the interior of grains 
of barley and wheat, preferring the former, and, forming its cocoon 
within the grain, there assumes the pupa state.
