-NOTES ON EMERGENCE FROM THE COCOON 

 IN LASIOGAMPIDM. 



While at Basra in October 1918, I found some of the wiUow trees on the 

 long island just above Gurmatali covered with caterpillars, recent cocoons 

 and old cocoon shells. The larvpe and cocoons were of the LasioaiwpidcB 

 type and the former were of two kinds — one a chestnut brown, resembling 

 the willow stalk in colour, and the other of a much lighter shade of yellow 

 and white, like the under surface of the leaves. 



An imago S emerged from one of the smaller cocoons taken, and this 

 closely resembled 'Taragama siva.' This was sent to the B. N, H. Soc. 

 for identification. 



The following are a few notes on the larvse : — 



No. I. — 20th October 1918 — Cocoon being made, end slit open by 

 larva and lightly saled inside. 22nd October 1918 — Pupa formed 

 10th Novemlaer. 1918 — Moth emerged and this proved to be a h 

 Taragama siva $ . She was placed in a mosquito net bag outside 

 the window, but failed to attract any males. This specimen was 

 also sent to the B. N. H. Soc. for identification.
