Résumé :
The data were obtained from both captures in light traps and laboratory observations on larval development. A. caja generally shows 2 flights a year (May, June and Aug.-Sept.). The larval diapause occurs in winter at different stages. The species can be monovoltine in geographical zones where winter is long and cold. In southern France, A. villica is a monovoltine species with a larval diapause. P. fuliginosa shows 3 flights a year and outlive winter at larval stage. S. lubricipeda and S. luteum have 2 annual flights, although the population can partly show a unique flight. They both show a winter nymphal diapause
