The pellucid zygaenid moth, Pryeria sinica Moore, 1877, appear, copulate and the female lay eggs as an egg mass in late autumn. I observed the female behavior covering the egg mass over one week after oviposition in Abiko, Chiba Prefecture. The behavior is considered to maternal care like as some Heteropt0eran bugs. But I have not observed any maternal care of the moth to protect from any natural enemies in these cases. It is need more observations for the reason of their behavior.
