The eyes of this butterfly are blood-red during life. The larva lives in 

 the same manner as that of Erionota thrax Clerck L. in a rolled up and 

 fastened leaf of different Palmaceae, as: l;e/appa (cocos nucifera L.), arcn 

 (arexga sacharifera Lab.), /cimy (metroxylon sagus Rottb.) etc.) and also 

 of ratan (calamus spec). It is entirely covered with a white waxy substance, 

 that hangs also in long threads down from its body, but easily lets loose. 

 Under this substance the real colour of the body is here and there to be seen 

 as blood-red spots, just as such is the case on the young larva of cricuj.a 

 CRAMERi Feld. Sometimes the head also is red, but generally it is entirely white. 



The pupa is oblong, the upper end dark, the thoracic part, as for the 

 rest, light green, the abdomen light yellow-brown. The cremaster is bifurcated, 

 the haustellum as long as the abdomen and mostly hollowed out. This pupa 

 makes also a rattling noise when the leaf wherein it dwells is touched, by 

 moving itself vigorously in the very dry palm leaves. The figure of the lar\a 

 given by Moore, is bad, that of the pupa somewhat better, but yet not 

 accurate either.
