Abstract

Lipids account for approximately eight per cent of the wet weight of Neodiprion pratti larvae. Fatty acids comprise eighty per cent of the total lipids. Approximately seventy-five per cent of the fatty acids are unsaturated and over seventy per cent have eighteen carbons. Four unknowns were characterized as being polyunsaturates of sixteen and eighteen carbons.
