This work was carried out to know the hereditary phenomenon of. the egg markings with 4 races preserved at Sericultural Experiment Station from 1962 to 1963. The results are as follows: 1. When crosses (Fig. 1) were made between females showing reticulate egg marks and males showing collected egg markings, the F$_1$ markings were all reticulate. From the reciprocal cross was made between the collected marking females and the reticulate marking males (Fig. 2), all the F$_1$ progeny showed the collected egg markings. 2. In the F$_2$ the expected phenotype for reticulate markings (recessive) was not expressed but the collected markings (dominance) were always appeared. 3. When each F$_2$ moth was inbred, the usual 3:1 ratio was obtained. 4. The F$_1$ egg markings as well as the spindle shape egg were not determined by its own genes but by the genes of its mother, because those were formed before fertilization. The results of such influences, when they can be identified, are called material effects. And such a phenomenon was called pseudomaternal inheritance by Tanaka. (1919)
