which arise many stiff brown circinate hairs which are entangled in the fibres 
of the cocoon. The pupal period is about six days. The whole life-cycle 
is thus about 25 days. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slip 796.)

Described from Pusa, in April and May. The larva rolls a green leaf of 
Dalbergia sissu or more commonly fastens together two leaves, living inside 
the shelter thus formed and nibbling the epidermis or gnawing holes in the 
leaves. The larva is about 24 mm. long and 2 mm. broad, slightly flattened, 
pale greenish yellow, the deep green dorsal vessel showing as a stripe ; head 
flattened, yellow, speckled with brownish; prothoracic shield large, pale 
yellow ; two faint interrupted submedian stripes and a similar subspiracular 
stripe ; spiracles round, rimmed with black ; primary hairs rather long ; five 
pairs of equally developed prolegs. Pupation takes place in a white silken 
cocoon formed inside the larval shelter. Pupa brown, anal segment rather - 
prolonged and armed with eight circinate hairs, which are entangled in the 
fibres of the cocoon, inside which the empty pupa-case remains on emergence 
of the moth. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slips 680, 896, 995.)

This was reared at Pusa on 23rd July 1908 from a pupa found on 18th 
July attached to the back of a leaf of bagnahi (Capparis horrida) and covered 
with another piece of leaf. The pupa was a little more than 4 mm. long, 
slightly tapering posteriorly, segments distinct, reddish-brown, wings reddish-
