j24 LIFE-HISTORIES OF GLYPHIPTERYGID 
Recorded from N. W. India(?), Kulu(’), Bengal (Rajmahal)(4) and Kara- 
gola(?), from Haputale in Ceylon(®), and from Java(*). Common at Pusa 
in Bihar and apparently throughout the Plains of India. We have it from 
Peshawar, Hazara, Lahore, Poona, Pusa, Gauhati, Nowgong, and Minbu 
(Lower Burma). 
Larva on Ficus spp. The moth has been reared at Lahore from pupa 
found in leaf of Ficus carica and at Pusa from larve rolling leaves of Ficus 
heterophylla. 
The larva is about 15 mm. long and 2 mm. broad. across the metathoracic 
region, whence it tapers slightly in both directions, cylindrical, segments . 
fairly distinct, light green ; head flattened, yellow, shiny, with a black lateral 
longitudinal marking ; prothorax with a more or less shiny shield, a portion 
between head and shield greenish-white ; mesothorax and metathorax dark 
smoke-colour, this colour extending in a less dark form on the ventral side ; 
legs black ; abdominal segments with dark smoky submedian patches forming 
an interrupted stripe, and with a similar less distinct spiracular stripe, white 
patches alternating with the smoky ones; a white lateral stripe ; primary 
hairs white ; spiracles small, black, round ; five pairs of equally developed 
prolegs which appear like slender rod-like protuberances from the abdominal 
folds, crochets on prolegs arranged in a circle. 
Pupation takes place im a white silken cocoon formed amongst rolled 
leaves or on a single leaf which is rolled into a boat-shape. A large quantity 
of silk ig used to make the cocoon which consists of several layers of thin 
papery structure. Pupa brown, cylindrical, tapering posteriorly, and with 
a row of small posteriorly-directed spines on the anterior part of the dorsal 
surface of the abdominal segments. Before emergence of the moth, the 
pupa wriggles out through one end of the cocoon to some extent. A Tachinid 
parasite has been reared. From larvae collected at Pusa on 25th September 
the moths emerged between 8th and 12th October 1917. (Pusa Insectary 
Cage-slip 1711.)
