This has also been reared at Pusa from larvee found mining leaves of 
Rhynchosia sp. (¢ R. minima) (Leguminosee) on 31st August 1917. The mine 
commences as a yellowish-white patch at about the centre of the upper surface 
of the leaflet. By the time the larva is full-grown the mine extends over the 
whole of the upper surface and looks like a yellowish-white thin membranous 
covering. From the under surface in most cases hardly anything is perceptible 
but in a few cases, when the mesophyll tissue has been nibbled, faint spots 
are to be seen. The larva pupates inside the mine under cover of the mem- 
branous pellicle. A silken cocoon is formed and the two halves of the blade 
of the leaflet are partially drawn towards each other, the leaflet assuming the 
shape of a boat. The pupa wriggles out through one end of the cocoon and 
through the membranous pellicle before the moth bursts out of the pupa- 
case and the empty pupa-case remains partly protruding through the pellicle. (oo ;

“ Reared at Pusa and Coimbatore from larve feeding in pods of Cajanus 
indicus °’(*), 
This species has been reared at Pusa from a larva found on 23rd March 
1914, mining the surface of a green arhar (Cajanus indicus) pod on which broad 
zigzag whitish markings had been produced. When full-fed the larva emerged 
from the mine and pupated in a corner of the cage in a white membranous 
cocoon covered with a number of small globules such as are found on the 
cocoon of Epicephala chalybacma. Pupal period five days, the moth emerging 
on 8th April. (Insectary Cage-slip 1038.)
