This species was reared from a larva found on leaves of an unidentified 
plant at Bassein Fort (Bombay) on Ist October 1909. The larva was described 
as about 8 mm. long, tapering towards either extremity, creamy white ; head 
yellowish ; prothorax with a minute reddish dot on side just below head, 
a yellowish dorsal band, and below this band two yellowish dots on side, 
mesothoracic and following segments with a light chocolate-coloured dorsal 
ban1 nearly complete and straight on mesothorax and metathorax but slightly 
curved on abdominal segments ; these bands on abdominal segments (except 
on anal segment) are not complete, being interrupted dorsally, and bear two 
black dots on their ends; legs pointed, creamy ; five pairs of prolegs, rather 
blunt, anal prolegs directed slightly post2riorly. Pupation took place under 
shelter of a leaf fastened to the bottom of the cage. The pupa was slightly 
over 5 mm. long, yellowish-brown. The pupil period was six days. (A.
