A larva was found boring in a ripe fig on 3rd June 1916. It pupated fits 9 
before 14th June in a white silken cocoon spun in a corner of the box and 
the moth emerged at Pusa on 19th July. 
This caterpillar is well-known in the Peshawar District, so much so that 
the local people are rather chary of eating figs on account of the caterpillars 
in them. J

Stathmopoda ovigera, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 93 (1913)(+).

since been bred from blackish larvee found in fluffy masses of Puloinaria sp.

Peshawar also, so that it is evidently widely distributed inthe Plains of India 
and Ceylon.
