bases slightly tubercular. Spiracles rounded, narrowly ringed with brown. 
Tracheal tube white, thread-like, visible along line of spiracles. Five pairs 
of equally developed prolegs with hooklets disposed in a circle. 
Pupation takes place in a thin white silken cocoon lining a rolled leaf. 
Before emergence, the pupa wriggles out to some extent through one end 
of the cocoon. 
The pupa is from 8 to 10 mm. long, slightly compressed dorso-ventrally, 
tapering posteriorly, yellow brown. Abdominal segments with transverse 
rows of short spines bordering anterior margin and preceding posterior margin. 
The male pupa is longer than that of the female, the eighth and succeeding 
abdominal segments being elongated to acconmcdate the ‘ong anal claspers 
of the male moth. Anal segment without special armature but provided 
with a few thin circinate hairs. 
From larve collected on 15th September 1917, moths emerged between 
24th September and 5th October 1917, and between 22nd and 28th November 
1911, from larve collected on 29th October 1911.. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slips 
920, 1703.)

This is a European species, recorded(’) from Noth and Central Europe 
and Maine. Lord Walsingham has recorded it(*) from Ootacamund, where 
the larva is stated to be very common, rolling up rose leaves ; this is doubtless 
an error, perhaps for extensana Wlk., and schalleriana should be removed from 
the Indian list pending further evidence.]

Spilonota rhothia, Meyr., T. E. S., 1910, 368('), Exot. Micr., I, 33 (1912)(?). 
Originally described from Mauritius, India (Pusa) and Ceylon (Maskeliya)('). 
Widely distributed in India. We have it (or I have seen specimens) from 
Pusa, Nagpur, Balaghat (C. P.), Coimbatore and Koilpatti. 
Larva on Psidium guava('). Described from Pusa records, it is cylindrical, 
slightly tapering posteriorly, bright orange ; head flattened, yellow ; spots 
yellow-whitish, with very fine white hairs ; segments constricted transversely 
in middle; in rolled terminal portions of leaves of Eugenia jambolana 
(Myrtacee)(?).
