Extract

In a previous publication (1919), I brought our knowledge of the Ithonidae up to date, so far as the perfect insects were concerned, and gave a short account of the work which had been done by Mr. Luke Gallard and myself in discovering the habitats and dates of appearance of the commonest species, Ithone fusca, Newman. This paper also recorded our success, in November 1918, in obtaining numbers of fertile eggs, larvae and pupae. I promised then to give a full account of the life-history in a later paper, and that promise is now being fulfilled.
