UJI (Jap., maggot). The Japanese name for a parasite of the silkworm, a taehinid fly (Leskia scriearia). It is said by Sasaki that the eggs of the parasite are laid upon the mul berry leaves and are eaten by the worms, after which the larva hatches out and feeds in the interior of the worms in the same way as do the of tachina-flies. The life-history is thus very abnormal, since with other species the eggs are laid upon the body of the caterpillar or other host insect. This parasite sometimes does eon siderable damage in Japan, lint fortunately has not been introduced into other silk-raising coun tries.
