(1912)(1), B. J., XXII, 122 (1914)(?). 
Originally described from Karwar, in North Kanara('), Also recorded 
from South Africa(?). We have it from Bankura, Pusa and Surandi (Tinne- 
velly District). 
“ Larva mining blotches in leaves of Sebastiana chamelea (Kuphorbiacee) ; 
pupa in detached oval white cocoon in depression on top of leaf, preferring 
the extreme tip (Maxwell) ’(?). Mr. Maxwell (tv litt.) describes the larva as 
stout, tapering posteriorly ; head small, fuscous, body green. 
This species has been reared from larve found at Bankura on 16th July 
1917, mining leaves of Jatropha gossypifolia (Kuphorbiacee), one or several 
ee 
larvee being found in one leaf, and at Pusa from larvee mining “ bhagendra”’ 
leaf. Larva pale greenish-yellow, head brown, no prolegs on sixth abdominal 
segment. When full-grown it leaves the mine and forms a flattened whitish 
papery silken cocoon on any depression on the leaf or in any suitable corner. 
The pupa wriggles out of the cocoon on emergence of the moth. (Insectary 
Cage-slip 1609.) 
The Tinnevelly specimens are labelled * from wild castor leaves ” ; pre- 
sumably Jatropha is intended.
