EoMiiAY, Khanapur, Belgaum, bred from larvae mining numerous 

 blotches in leaves of two unidentified plants, January, February ; 

 six specimens. Larva when young light red, tapering posteriorly, 

 when full-grown bright crimson and cylindrical; blotch irregular, 

 often confluent, each with an irregular roundish rent in the cuticle 

 whilst still occupied by the larva ; pupa outside the mine, in an 

 oval orange cocoon ; imago quivers on its legs like vanuhi {Maxtvell). 

 Closely allied to vanida ; as that species feeds on a Terminalia 

 {Combretacecr), it is not improbable that the foodplants of this are 

 of the same order.
