The little larva on the leaf of the padi (Orvza sativa L). It is a dull 

 green, the head is black, mixed with some light brown. The oblong pupa is 

 grass-green and attached to a leaf of the padi. From a pupa of the 28''^ of 

 February the imago emerged on the 6* of March.

The Javanese specimens have been identified by Moschler himself as Philino, 

 and Snellen found, after a personal research, that Bada Moore agrees with it.

According to van Deventer the larva is from 30 to 35 millimetres long 

 and lives between the lengthwise stitched leaves of the pad/ (oryza sativa L.), 

 of the /edou (saccharum officinarum L.) and of the djagoung (zea mays L.) ; once 

 also I found one between bamboo leaves (Bambusa) and once a pupa in a 

 sewed up piece of a leaf of the /c/adi (colocasia antiquorum Schott.). It is 

 green or greenish white, on which the vas dorsalis shines through as a dark 

 streak ; on the anal extremity, that runs out in a rounded off form, is mostly, 

 but not alwa)s on that streak a dark brown or black line running lengthwise, 

 which sometimes at the upper-end is nail-shaped, thickened or formed into a 

 cross by a little cross-line. According to van Deventer this black is only 

 sometimes wanting in the young larva; I think, however, that I may doubt 

 this. The )ellow testes also shine through. On the first thoracic segment 

 there is sometimes also, according to van Deventer in the young larva always, 

 a dark brown litde cross-line. The head is bifurcated at the upper-side, red 

 brown here and there, and especially along the margins a dark brown with 

 two vertical black streaks; the head of the young larva, however, is entirely 

 black. The pupa is mostly in a thick white cocoon between leaves, it is oblong, 

 the thoracic part somewhat gibbous light violet coloured or yellowish white.
