larva is full-fed, if it happens to be near the edge of the leaf, it turns over the 
edge of the leaf and forms a cocoon in which to pupate. If, however, it happens 
at that time to be somewhere near the middle of the blade, the cocoon is 
formed there in a sort of depression formed by drawing the contiguous portions 
of the blade together with silk. 
The larva is about 5 mm. long, flattened, segments distinct, uniform pale 
yellow; head flat, tapering anteriorly, somewhat conical in outline and 
with two longitudinal furrows ; the first eight abdominal segments with a 
lateral protuberant spine, that on eighth abdominal segment the longest ; 
ninth and tenth abdominal segments tubular, the tenth elongated a 
bifurcated posteriorly into two long fleshy spines ; no legs or prolegs visible 
(Fig. 6). 
The pupa is about 3 mm. long, cylindrical, tapering slightly posteriorly, 
light yellow, the dorsal abdominal region blackish ; head tapering anteriorly 
and armed with a narrow black spine bent dorsally ; abdominal segments 
with a dorsal row of black posteriorly-directed short pointed spines ; anal 
extremity rounded and armed on either side with a tubular round-headed 
process (Fig. c). 
The moths emerged on 17th September. (Pusa Insectary Cage-slip 1684.)
