title: Molt and Intermolt Activities in the Epidermal Cells of an Insect.
abstract: In the larva of the butterfly Calpodes ethlius, molt and intermolt syntheses by the epidermis are each preceded by a phase of RNA synthesis. Endocuticle deposition and the secretion of wax are not controlled only by the molting hormone when they take place during the intermolt period.
