The full-grown larva is about 17 mm. long, cylindrical, dirty-white, skin 
transparent, head red-brown, prothoracic shield greyish-brown ; spiracles 
black ; segments with minute scattered brown hairs ; five pairs of prolegs. 
Pupation takes place amongst the larval food (e.g., dried tobacco leaves) 
in a tough white cylindrical cocoon. Pupa about 5 mm. long, cylindrical, 
tapering posteriorly, anteriorly light brown, posteriorly whitish. Pupal 
period about nine days in August. (P. G. Patel’s Cage-slip 23.) 
LATYPICA ALBOFASCIELLA, STT. M 
Cerostoma albofasciella, Stainton, T. E. 8. (n. s.), V, 114 (1859)(!). 
Latypica albofasciella, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 606 (1916)(?). 
Originally described from Calcutta(') and since recorded from Pusa(?) 
and Dibidi (Coorg)(”), we have this species from Chapra and the Shevaroy 
Hills, and from Pusa in April, June, September and November (mostly in June). 
A specimen was reared on 14th April 1914 from a larva found boring into bark 
of banyan (Ficus bengalensis) on 26th January 1914 and described as slender 
with a black head and prothoracic shield and five pairs of prolegs ; but, as a 
specimen of Myrmecozela corticina was also reared under these data, it is un- 
certain to which larva this description really applies. (Pusa Insectary Cage- 
slip 1035.)
