Extract

It has long been known that the juices of the digestive tracts of lepidopterous larvae initiate action within the micro eggs of tachinid parasites that results in hatching (Severin et al., 1915). The etfect of the alkalinity of the digestive juices of larvae of the European corn borer, Pyrausta nubilalis (Hbn.), on hatching of eggs of Aplomya caesar (Ald.) was mentioned in an earlier paper (Wishart, 1945). More detailed work has revealed more clearly the critical nature of this relationship.
