concolorous with the body. The larva first detaches the lower cuticle for the 
full extent of the mine, and then proceeds to devour the parenchyma. 
ee IE ArT (og cogs cae ka ?, 4th June 1856.—Of a uniform brilliant amber- 
yellow, transparent, smooth, with slight depressions on the sides of each 
segment ; jaws reddish ; the alimentary canal, when full, gives the appearance 
of a deep green band down the back. The larva at first mines a very irre- 
gularly-contorted gallery under the upper cuticle, and whilst engaged in this 
operation it only consumes the juices which unite the cuticle with the paren- 
chyma. Gradually the greater part or the whole of the surface occupied by 
this gallery is mined, so as to form one chamber. The upper cuticle becomes 
wrinkled, and slightly contorts the leaf, so as to form a spacious apartment 
and the larva proceeds to devour the parenchyma. The leaf is not discoloured 
but appears blotched with white, from the colourless upper cuticle. When 
full-grown the larva quits the mine, and forms a compact orange or vermilion 
coloured cocoon in a depression of a leaf, or any other convenient place. After 
a few days the pupa thrusts one end through the cocoon, and the moth 
escapes ”’(!),

Larve were collected at Pusa on 26th July 1916 mining leaves of sweet- 
potato and the moths emerged between 4th and 6th August. No description 
of the early stages was made. (Ram Saran’s Cage-slip, dated 26th July 1916.)

Also reared at Pusa from larvee found on 16th April 1917 mining green 
leaves of Hugenia jambolana, causing large blister-like swellings on the upper 
surface. There may be a single blister on either blade or two blisters on the 
two blades, each blister being of course caused by a single larva. The larva 
is small and delicate, about 3:5 mm. long, uniform pale yellow, head slightly
