SAGUs Rottb.) of arm (arexga sacharifera Lab.), and as I was told they are 

 said also to have been found on the leaves of the African Elaeis guineexsis L. 

 It lives in a part of a leaf that is rolled up into a case and fastened with 

 threads, it is chalk-white with a black head overgrown with very short hairs 

 and wholly covered with a white waxy powder, that also entirely fills its abode. 

 That this wax-like exudation as de Nkeville according to Tuth means, should 

 serve the caterpillar and the pupa as a sheltering against the heavy rains, 

 may be doubled; because many other larvae of Hesperidae live also in 

 rolled up or folded leaves without exuding such a powder. It is very much 

 plagued by small Braconidae. The yellow brown chrysalis, that is also in that 

 abode, is very oblong and has a very long and mostly curved haustellum 

 which is even longer than its abdomen. When the leaf is touched it moves 

 strongly so that it makes some noise. After 7 or 8 days the imago appears. 

 The figures of this larva and pupa given by HoRSFrELo are but little accurate.

 The black head is almost entirely covered with white, so that the black is 

 only visible along its edge as a peculiar row of dots. When the rolled up 

 leaf, where in the pupa is, is touched, the pupa makes a ratding sound by 

 moving itself forcibly.
