Life History of Lyonetia prunifoliella HUBNER subsp : malinella (MATSUMURA) (Lepidoptera : Lyonetiidae)

Abstract
Lyonetia prunifoliella HUBNER subsp. malinella (MATSUMURA) on apple trees produced five complete generations in 1976 and 1977 in Aomor Prefecture, the northern tip of Honshu, where the monthly mean temperature during the apple growing season ranges from 10 to 25°C. The insect mates before hibernation and passes the winter as a female moth. The hibernating moth is different from that of summer generations not only in coloration but also in physiological and behavioral character.
