anal segment, but all over the body and head there are scattered small stiff 
hairs with curved tips which are hooked into the fibres of the cocoon. On 
emergence of the moth, the empty pupa-case is left within the cocoon. (Pusa 
Insectary Cage-slip 702.) 
The life-cycle is between three and four weeks. A fertilized female 
confined with living Amaranius plants on 30th May 1911 died on 2nd June, 
after laying eggs which were net observed. Two young larvee were found on 
8th June and of these one spun up on 17th June and the moth emerged on 
27th June 1911. 
We have this from Coimbatore, Mangalore, Sidapur, Tranquebar, Surat, 
Nadiad, Bassein Fort, Multan, Peshawar, Abbottabad, Pusa, and Upper and 
Lower Burma. The moth varies considerably in markings, the yellow spots 
on the forewing being sometimes obsolescent and both wings suffused with 
blackish.
