Abstract
WHEN corpora allata from the same species of Lepidoptera are removed and implanted into naturally diapausing pupæ or pupæ diapausing as a result of extirpation of the brain (‘Dauer pupæ’), the recipients develop into moths or pupal–adult mixtures (second pupæ)1–4. The results obtained when donor and host are not so closely related are also of interest. Therefore, heterologous grafts of corpora allata between insects usually diapausing in the pupal and egg period respectively have been made and the effect on metamorphosis compared to homologous transplants.
