Summary In late autumn the larvae of the parasites Epilampsis boops Thoms. and Cirrospilus pictus Nees (Eulophidae) attain full growth and kill their hosts, the larvae of Coleophora laricella Hbn. They do not normally pupate until the following spring, but in the laboratory adults can be reared during winter. The developmental patterns of the parasites were constructed from observations during rearing experiments combined with repeated X‐ray photography. Differences in development among the two species and sexes were found. No difference between X‐ray treated and untreated animals was detected. The results can have practical application in connection with control measures.
