Abstract

In the latter part of July 1929 I found several unknown Pyralid larvae tying up the leaves of a shrub of Rhamnus frangula Linn. (indentification by Dr. M. O. Malte, Botanist in the Victoria Museum, Ottawa) in the vicinity of Fulford, Que. The web formed was an untidy sort of affair mixed with dead leaves and excrement, and each web contained only a single larva.
