Originally described from Moulmein, this species is very widely distributed 
in India, Burma and Ceylon and from Korea to New Guinea. 
We have it from Coimbatore, Kallar (Nilgiris), Sidapur (Coorg) and 
Manantoddy (Wynaad). 
This species has been bred at Coimbatore by Y. Ramachandra Rao from 
larve found in Lantana flowers. No description of the larva was recorded, 
but pupation took place in a folded leaf. 
The pupa is 8 mm. long and 2 mm. broad, cylindrical, truncated ante- 
riorly, anal segment conical, terminating in a flattened spatuloid chitinized 
process bearing four pairs of recurved hooks ; light translucent yellow, surface 
rather shiny. The wing-covers extend to the middle of the ventral surface of 
fourth abdominal segment. Dorsal surface of abdominal segments with 
three transverse ridges especially developed on fourth and succeeding segments, 
first ridge close to anterlor margin and sharply excised, second ridge adjacent 
to first and carrying a row of sharp, short but rather stout spines, 
ranging from twelve to twenty in number, third ridge slightly behind 
middle of segment, sharp but with its edge broken into numerous close-set 
denticles. 
A larva which pupated on 26th December 1916, emerged on 2nd February 
1917, and a second larva which pupated on 26th-27th December 1916, emerged 
on 3drd-4th February 1917. Y. Ramachandra Rao (Lantana Cage-slip 21).

“ Homona coffearia is widely distributed throughout the tea districts 
of North-East India and has occasionally occurred in sufficient numbers 
to be noted by planters and specimens have on one or two occasions been 
received at the laboratory of the Indian Tea Association from managers of tea 
gardens, generally in Assam. Speaking generally, however, this insect is of 
comparatively little importance as a pest of tea in these parts.
