Rearing and Description of the Early Stages of the Nearctic Species of Peridea, with Special Reference to P. Basitriens (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) [PDF]
Excerpt: The genus Peridea Stephens, according to Forbes (1948), is composed of two subgenera: Lophodonta Packard and Peridea. To the former belong the two species, angulosa (J.E. Smith, 1797) and ferruginea Packard, 1864; to the latter only one species,

On the Eggs and Instars of Scutigerella sp.*
ABSTRACT This species is common in Amboina, very abundant in Ceram, and probably also in all the Moluccas, and perhaps other islands of Netherlands India. It lives chiefly, and in great numbers, in the black mould between the bark and the wood of rotten logs, in the rotten wood itself, under dead leaves, and under stones and pieces of ...

Determination of female-biased sexual size dimorphism in moths with a variable instar number: The role of additional instars [PDF]
While the ultimate causes and adaptive significance of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have been extensively studied, the developmental mechanisms behind this phenomenon have received little attention. Going through an additional larval instar may form a specific way of achieving SSD in arthropods. In the present study, the mechanisms of SSD determination

TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS FOR DURATION OF AN INSTAR IN CLADOCERANS [PDF]
1. The temperature characteristics for the rate of development during a well defined instar were determined for three species of Cladocera, and found to be of the same general magnitudes as those obtained for rates of development and of O2 consumption in other arthropods. 2.
