Originally described from Calcutta(!), but widely distributed in and 
outside of India, being known from Natal(® ), Gambia(“) and French Congo(?) ; 
also recorded from Barrackpur(*)*, Poona(?) and Peradeniya(*). We have 
it from Pusa, Dharwar and Coimbatore. 
Larva in galleries in fibrous stem of dead Cycas circinalis(*), in dead 
wood(®), in mango and gular bark and in frass of a Cerambycid borer in 
mango(t). Larva found in dead papaya tree at Pusa. Also bred from 
papaya stem at Coimbatore. 
The larva is about 25 mm. long, cylindrical, slightly tapering posteriorly, 
very soft, dirty pale yellow, skin almost transparent showing dark contents 
of alimentary canal ; head and prothoracic shield shiny dark-brown ; scattered 
grey hairs on segments ; five pairs of prolegs. Pupation in a white cocoon 
found in the wood-dust or in any small corner of the bark. The pupa wriggles 
out of the cocoon to some extent on emergence of the moth. The larva lives 
in (probably dead) bark of mango, Ficus glomerata and papaya.

* Note. Durrant’s record from‘ Bekpur ” is obviously based on a misreading of a contrace 
‘ion for Barrackpur. The same error cecurs in Swinhoe’s Catal. Het. Oxf. Mus. in connection
