shield large, dark-brown, almost black; prolegs equally developed; the 
tubercles on body segments forming distinct rounded, warts. 
In confinement pupation took place in a thin silken cocoon lining folds 
of paper or cloth or between fragments of bamboo-sheaths ; under natural 
conditions the cocoon is probably placed beneath the leaf-sheaths. The 
brown pupa protrudes to some extent through one end of the cocoon on emer- 
gence of the moth. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slips 132, 1631.) 
We have this from Pusa, Chapra and Geauhati. It is probably widely 
distributed in the Plains. °

This species was originally described from Maskeliya (Ceylon)(') and 
the Palni Hills, and hag since been recorded from North Australia(?). It 
has been reared at Pusa in October 1917, from larve found rolling leaves of 
Polyalthia longifolia.
