In this paper a method for rearingPsila rosae is described. For oviposition the imagines are cultured at room temperature in cages containing moist filter paper at the bottom, furthermore the well described oviposition places, and a food place and a water place at the ceiling. A mixture of sugar, casein-hydrolysate, yeast, saltmixture and water serves as food. The eggs may be collected three times during the week by washing out with water and are stored at room temperature in little embryo dishes. The newly hatched larvae must be cultured in little Petri dishes at 15°C, fed with pieces of carrot. It is necessary to make a little hole for each larva on the underside of the carrot piece and to shove the larvae in the holes. Furthermore a layer of moist sand under the carrot pieces is necessary. Mould and bacterial decay are the most dangerous facts which have to be observed. From heavy moulded carrot pieces the larvae must be taken out and put on new pieces. Fullgrown larvae pupate in the sand, from where they may be collected. Only if the sand is to moist or to little, the larvae go back into the piece for pupating. In this case you must remove the pupa, which is more riskfull than taking out a larva. The collected pupae are stored in a Petri dish on moist sand at 15°C. The paper finishes with some remarks about the diapause and the possibility for its prevention.
