of the cocoon and the cremastral hairs are not entangled in the fibres of the 
cocoon. although the pupa-case is left inside the cocoon on emergence of the 
moth. 
Eggs laid on 21st hatched on 27th July 1909, and moths emerged from 
these larvee between 18th August and 4th September. During cold weather 
the emergence of the moths is suspended until warmer conditions return. 
In the case of a quantity of affected paddy grains kept at Pusa, the number 
of moths emerging became less and less as winter set in until the last moth 
emerged on 22nd December ; no more appeared until 16th January, when one 
moth emerged, followed by one moth on 10th February, and three on 14th 
February ; after that, the weather became warmer and many moths began to 
emerge. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slip 771.) 
TELPHUSA MELANOZONA, MEYR. 
Telphusa melanozona, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 65 (1913)(4). 
Reared at Pusa in August from larve mining leaves of Euphorbia 
vertifolia ('). 
Larve were collected at Pusa on 15th August 1910, mining leaves of 
si) (Euphorbia nivulia). The larva mines the leaf, only a portion of which 
is sufficient to supply food for its whole larval life. A portion near the apex 
or about the middle of the leaf is attacked, the larva mining from the margin 
inwards, the attacked portion withering and turning brown. 
The larva is about 10 mm. long and about 1 mm. broad, cylindrical, yellow, 
soft-bodied, with short scattered hairs ; head rather darker. 
Pupation takes place usually inside the mine, the larva first preparing 
for the exit of the moth by making a small hole whose opening is closed by a 
thin membrane, and then lining the pupal chamber with a very thin layer of 
silk. The pupa is yellow-brown, the anal segment with a few small cremastral 
hairs which retain the pupa-case inside the cocoon on emergence of the moth. 
Occasionally the larva pupates outside of the mine ona leaf, and in such cases 
it forms a cocoon composed of silk and chewed-up pieces from the epidermis 
of the leaf. The pupal period is about six days in August. (Pusa Insectary 
Cage-slip 855.) 
ARISTOTELIA INGRAVATA, MEYR. (PLATE XVI, FIG. 2.) 
Aristotelia ingravata, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 118-119 (1918)(}). 
Bred at Pusa from larva forming galls in twigs of Tamarix gallica. Also 
recorded from Peshawar. 
The larva bores into a Tamarix stem, which swells up a little at the part 
bored, forming a sort of a gall inside which the larva is found, The larva
