The bees-moths, or bees wax-moths, of which there are two distinct kinds commonly found in Australia are so well known, and have been so frequently figured and described, that it will not be necessary to give very detailed or technical descriptions of them here. A considerable number of injuries have been received during the past few years regarding these destructive moths, chiefly from amateur bee-keepers; and it may, therefore, be useful to publish a few notes concerning the habits and seasonal appearance of these insects in Australia, more especially as I am able to add some information regarding remedial and preventive measures for the suppression of the pests, which have been found satisfactory by experienced bee-keepers. The larger of the bees wax-moths-properly known as _Galeria mellonella_, Linn, but sometimes called by the name _Galeria cereana_, Fabr.-appears to be by far the more destructive of the two insects. It is a very wide-ly distributed species, being found throughout Europe and North America, in India, and even in the cold regions of Northern Siberia; indeed, it appears to have a range that is co-extensive with that of the live-bee itself. In warm countries it is much more abundant, and therefore destructive, than in temperate or cold regions, as I am able to add some information regarding remedial and preventive measures for the suppression of the pests, which have been found satisfactory by experienced bee-keepers.

Its average length is about an inch, and, like the majority of the caterpillars of moths, it has sixteen legs. The chrysials of the larger beesvax-moth is of the ordinary type, and is enclosed in a very compact cocoon of tough white silk, usually spun up in one of the sixteen channels or galleries made by the larva to which we have previously referred. The perfect insect, or moth, has reddish brown-gray forewings, which are distinctly lighter in color toward the outer or hinder margins. The sexes can readily be distinguished by the outline of the wings, as will readily be seen by a glance at the plate accompanying this article.
