Description

In order to clarify the life history of Pryeria sinica Moore, this study was carried out extending from 1959 to 1961 and acquired the following results : 1) The appearance of the adult of this species is one time in a year and it falls on the season from the beginning to the middle of November. 2) The overwintering of this species takes place in the stage of egg and the hatching is observed at the middle part of March, and then the larva is observed during March and the early part of May. 3) Although the coccooning of the larva of this species takes place at the season from the beginning to the middle of May, they pass through a long time from summer to autumn in the pupal stage. 4) The life history chart and the data on the development of this species are shown in Tables 1-2 and Figs. 1-2. 5) The data on the longevity of the adult moth and the fecundity of the female moth are shown in Tables 3-5. 6) The pupa is in the state of deep diapause for comparatively a long period, although there are some doubts whether the overwintering egg is in the state of true diapause or not. 7) The larval development of this species under the short day condition is more rapid than that under the natural condition. The diapause of the pupa developed from the larva which was fed under the short day condition is slighter than that of the pupa developed from the larva which was fed under the natural condition. 8) Some notes on the habit of this species are also given.
