In response to internal parasitization by Banchus flavescens Cresson, larvae of Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) form a bubble-like cyst between the cuticle and epidermis on the dorsum of the penultimate segment. After the parasite egg hatches, its larva migrates to and enters the cyst and is then sluffed off with the exuviae at the next moult. The nature and development of the cyst is discussed. We propose that this unique and successful defense reaction by T. ni be called cuticular encystment.
