of the cocoon on emergence of moth. From larve taken on 13th July 1906, 
moths emerged on 21st and 23rd July, and a larva taken on 9th August 1907 
formed its cocoon the next day, pupated on 11th August and emerged on 
18th August. (A. Mujtaba’s Cage-slips 6 and 31.)

This species was originally described from Egypt(! 3) and has since 
been recorded from the Transvaal(%), India() and Sokotra(é). 
We have it from Pusa, Chapra and Simla. At Pusa it has been reared 
from larve webbing up tender leaves of Ficus glomerata.

Within our limits from Simla and Kashmir. We have it from Dungagali 
(8,000 feet), Hazara District (May 1915). 
‘Larva ochreous-whitish, spots pale fuscous ; head and plate of 2 pale 
fuscous ; in a slight web on Urtica and Parietaria’ (4). 
BRENTHIA CORONIGERA, MEYR. (PLATE XXXI.) 
Brenthia coronigera, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 194 (1918)(*). 
Bred at Pusa in February from a larva feeding on leaves of Cordia myxa 
(Boraginacee)(!). 
This species has been bred at Pusa from larvee feeding on leaves of Cordia 
myxa in February 1917 and 1919 and January 1917. The larva lives on the 
surface of a leaf under cover of a silken webbing to which stick the black 
pellets of frass. It gnaws the leaf-tissue4m characteristic patches, leaving 
the other epidermis entire. The portion thus gnawed is covered with the 
silken webbing. 
The larva is about 6 mm. long and about 1 mm. broad across the thoracic 
region, thence slightly tapering posteriorly, pale yellow with a green tinge ; 
head pale yellow ; primary hairs short, arising from tubercles which appear 
as black spots; some black spots on the head also. Pupation takes place 
within a cocoon of pure white silken threads and the moths emerge at Pusa 
during the second half of February. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slip 1516.)
