46 LIFE-HISTORIES OF EUCOSMIDA 
hairs ; head rosy-yellowish ; second segment with shining yellow semicircular 
lobes at anterior angles, not meeting dorsally ; in rolled leaves of Zizyphus 
jujuba (Rhamnacez) ; pupa in cocoon in same position('). 
Larve were found at Pusa on 26th September 1907, rolling up ber 
(Zizyphus jujuba) leaves and feeding on the epidermis of the upper surface 
of the rolled leaf, the lower surface of leaf (external surface of rolled portion) 
not being eaten. Young green leaves may also be eaten from the edge or in 
holes, but dry or partially dry leaves are not eaten. 
Young larva about 9 mm. long, cylindrical, tapering posteriorly ; light 
ereen, rather transparent, the visceral contents visible through the skin, 
anteriorly and posteriorly yellowish ; head shiny yellowish with a rosy tinge ; 
prothorax with shining yellow semicircular protuberant lobes at anterior 
‘angles, not meeting dorsally, with two lateral setigerous tubercles and 
smaller hairs on dorsal area; abdominal segments distinct, with whitish 
dorsal and lateral hairs, the latter projecting outwards ; prolegs dull white. 
Full-grown larva about 30 mm. long, with irregular alternately brownish 
and light-green stripes along the back and sides. 
The larva rolls up the edge of a leaf by means of silken threads and lives 
in the hollow thus formed within a thinly woven white silken network. It 
pupates in this chamber. 
Pupa about 8 mm. long, cylindrical, blunt anteriorly, brown, abdominal 
segments dorsally with submarginal transverse rows of indented lines, first 
row behind anterior margin, second row before posterior margin and com- 
posed of finer indented lines than first row ; cremastral hooks six in number, 
in two rows of three each. The anterior third of the pupa is protruded from 
the cocoon for emergence of the moth, the posterior extremity being attached 
to interior of cocoon by the cremastral hooks. The pupal period is seven’ 
days in October. Larvae found on 26th September, emerged from 7th to 23rd 
October 1907. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slip 607.) 
We have this from Pusa, Hoshangabad and Gauhati. It has also been 
bred at Pusa from larve in galls on ber branches and from a larva boring in 
Blumea.

Ancylis cyanostoma, Meyr., Exot. Micr., II, 16-17 (Oct. 1916)(!). 
“ Bred at Pusa in January from larve feeding in spun leaves of Lizyphus 
gujuba ”’(+). 
Larvee rolling up ber (Zizyphus jujuba) leaves and collected at Pusa on 
26th December 1915, emerged between 27th January and 14th February 
1916, one of the resultant moths being Ancylis lutescens and the rest
