Abstract
WAR conditions have made it essential to know the numerous kinds of caterpillars, as well as of other insects, affecting stored food in "Great Britain. It was soon found that with few exceptions the available descriptions of these larvæ are quite inadequate for identification purposes. Being based mainly on colour it became necessary to use more precise methods. In a useful paper entitled "The Larvæ of the Lepidoptera associated with Stored Products"(Bull. Entomol. Res., 163; Oct. 1943) by Dr. H. E. Hinton of the British Museum (Natural History), the chætotaxy and other structural features are relied upon for distinguishing the species.
