Very few papers have been published on the life history of pseudoscorpions. The literature has been summarized by Kätner (1927), J. C. Chamberlin (1931), Beier (1932) and Roewer (1936-1940). The following contributions are based upon observation of two species of pseudoscorpions which were kept in captivity.I should like to give sincere thanks to Dr. J. C. Chamberlin for reading the paper and giving valuable suggestions, to Dr. C. C. Hoff for determining the chernetid pseudoscorpions, to Mrs. Rosalie Rogers Talbert for assistance in maintaining and feeding the pseudoscorpions; and to my wife who has aided in the work.

The rate of development of the larvae, postfeeding larvae, puparia, and adults of 10 species of Protocalliphora were studied and differences noted in the rates of development and (or) survival. Larvae of Protocalliphora were photonegative and strongly influenced by thigmotactic stimuli. The method of feeding of the larva is described. Metamorphosis was completed more quickly at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. Survival of purparia at temperatures of 7 °C or lower was poor and indicated that this stage was not adapted to withstand low temperatures and probably did not survive the winter. Adult Protocalliphora females were longer lived than males, surviving for an average of 70–100 days, with some individuals surviving for over 250 days under laboratory conditions. Adults fed readily on a sugar–protein diet, crushed berries, and certain species of flowers, but most species did not feed on any form of carrion. Adults mated readily in captivity, but none of the seven species tested crossbred. Spermatozoa remained motile in the seminal receptacles for over 100 days. Eggs were laid on a few occasions, but the factors determining egg production were not studied. Adult Protocalliphora were strongly photopositive and became quiescent in the dark. Adult flies rarely became active until a threshold temperature of 15.5 °C; different species had differing threshold temperatures. Adults successfully overwintered in a single field trial.

ABSTRACT With the passage of time, first-hand accounts of the Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) are now rare, and those that challenge the established historical narrative, rarer still. Recent recollections by one of the last living witnesses to a Thylacine capture have enabled us to piece together the life history of one of the last captive specimens. This account raises important questions over the accepted sequencing of the final two Thylacines on display at the Hobart Zoo.
