Pteropiiorid/e. 
Schleich describes the transformations of Pterophorus didactylus (Linn.), 
Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, pp. 90-09. The larva feeds on the flowers of Geum 
ricale, eating through the calyx, and devouring the corolla and receptacle, 
but without inserting more than the fore part of its body. During the day 
the larva adheres to the flower-stalks, and only begins feeding towards even- 
ing. When about to change, the larva attaches itself by the tail in the 
manner of the caterpillars of the butterflies. 
Stainton (Ent. M. Mag. vol. i. p. 11-14) calls attention to Schleich’s 
observations on the larva of Pterophorus didactylus (Lin.), and indicates 
that his discovery of the larva feeding on Geum rivale proves its identity 
with the Linnean species.

vol. ii. p. 38.
