EUZOPHERA CEDRELLA and PHYCITA ABIETELLA, 109 
It has a widespread distribution since the species has also 
been reported from the United States, Europe, and Japan. 
Description of larve. 
The two moths above described have both been bred out 
of deodar and spruce cones, VP. absetel/a has in addition been 
reared from infested silver fir and blue pine cones. It follows 
that there are at least two, if not more, different species of larvz 
attacking these cones, and I have found this to be the case with 
all the cones although the £. cedrelia moth has only been 
obtained from the deodar and spruce, Ihave not as yet been 
able to settle which /arva produces the individual moths in 
question, and the larve are therefore described here together. 
Some immature larve about a fourth grown were about j 
inch long, dirty yellow smoke-coloured with a black head. 
(Taken from deodar cones on 22nd May.) 
Mature or nearly mature larvee :— ; 
1. A dirty yellow grey in colour witha tinge of green, 
smooth, and shining ; head black, Length 14 inches. 
Some similar forms had scattered bristles over their 
bodies. (From blue pine, spruce, deodar, and 
silver firin July.) See Pl. Il, fig. 7c. 
2, Light reddish earth-coloured, light green on ventral 
surface; first abdominal segment yellow. Head 
blackish yellow. Length 1 inch. (From spruce in 
July.) 
3. Similarto No, 2 but more pink in colour, with black 
head and a black band or collar on upper surface 
of first abdominal segment. (From spruce in July.) 
4. Purplish on dorsal surface becoming a pale greenish 
yellow on ventral surface, Head black, Length 13 
inches. (In deodar cones from Jaunsar in Septem- 
ber.) 
Pl. I, fig. 6 4, d, show a larva and pupa taken from a deodar 
cone and thought to be the larva and pupa of £. cedrella. | 
consider this, however, doubtful since at the time it was not 
known that there was more than one species of larva attacking 
the cones,
