Abstract
In this paper, the morphological differences among the three common species of Ephestia have been confirmed by the present author, so that they may be easily identified. The life history of E. cautella has also been worked out, as well as some aspects of the life history of E. elutelle. and E. kuhniella. These three species have been found to differ at certain points of their life histories. Finally, the results of other authors have been compared with the findings of the present author.
