The larva in a rolled up leaf feeds on tcbou (Saccharum Officinarum L.), 

 on bamboo (Bambusa spec), on alang-alang (Imperata Arundinacea Cyrill.) 

 and on roiimpont paliit (Paspalum Conjugatum Berg.). It is light green, the 

 vas dorsalis mostly shining through as a dark line, just as the yellow testes ; 

 sometimes a little black cross-streak on the first thoracic segment. The head 

 of the young larva is black, there afterwards appear thereon two white or gray 

 supra-spiracular streaks ; mostly, however, the head becomes gray or clay- 

 coloured with a dark margin and on the middle a vertical nail-like stroke which 

 mostly is deep brown, but sometimes also red-brown or dark-orange. Some- 

 times the drawing also is very indistinct and sometimes also the head somewhat 

 clay-coloured. The light-yellow, oblong little pupa has a haustellum that does 

 not reach farther than half-way to the abdomen. A pupa of the 18/19 of 

 January gave the imago on the 30* of that month, one of the 8''^ of May on 

 the 19^'' of the same month, one of 14 May on May 25 and one of 13/14 

 ]ulv on the 26''^ of that month.
