segments very short, arising from small! shiny yellow tubercles ; legs short, 
yellow. 
When full-grown the larva quits the mine through a small hole torn in 
the upper epidermal layer and pupates on the green part of the upper surface 
of the same leaf in an oval white cocoon about 4 by 2 mm., constructed inside 
an outer fine irregular brownish covering, measuring about 5 by 2°> mm. and 
usually placed in a slightly curved portion of the leaf. (Umrao Bahadur’s 
Cage-slip 66.) 
Larve were also found at Pusa on 12th September 1916, mining leaves of 
Achyranthes aspera and from these a moth emerged on 22nd September.

Larve were collected mining bariar leaves at Pusa on 28th July 1916 
and the moths emerged between 4th and 10th August. No description of the 
early stages was made. (Ram Saran’s Cage-slip, dated 28th July 1916.)
