214 LIFE-HISTORIES OF LYONETIADA k 
LYONETIAD. 
PHYLLOCNISTIS CHRYSOPHTHALMA, MEYR. (ante, page 171.) 
Bred in July and August 1913, in North Kanara, from larva mining an 
elongate wandering blotch in the underside of a leaf of cinnamon, the course 
of the larva being marked by the excrement which forms a wavy, continuous, 
fine dark line. Pupation takes place inside the larval mine at the extremity 
of the blotch, the leaf being puckered here sharply. The pupal period is 
about eight days. (Mazxwell.) 
PHYLLOCNISTIS CIRRHOPHANES, MEYR. (ante, page 171.) 
Bred in July 1913, in North Kanara, from larva found mining beneath 
upper cuticle of leaf of Alseodaphne semecarpifolia. The egg is laid near the 
edge of the leaf, from which the young larva proceeds at first in a spiral and 
afterwards in an undulating gallery, always confined to the extreme edge 
of the leaf, producing a blackish discoloration. When full-fed, the larva 
mines around the extreme edge of the leaf in a single gallery, finally pupating 
below the cuticle under a drawn-in edge of the leaf. The larva is flattened, 
shiny, tapering posteriorly, segments strongly marked, yellowish-green, last 
three segments more transparent; head small, black; prothoracic shield 
narrowed anteriorly, semi-transparent ; first seven abdominal segments with 
a spiracular prominence ending in a bristle ; anal claspers long, transparent, 
prostrate, divergent. The larva of this species is frequently noticed associated 
with that of Acrocercops civica in the same leaf, although the food-plant is 
common ; in fact, the two are usually bred together. (Mazwell.) 
PHYLLOCNISTIS CITRELLA, STT. (ante, page 171.) 
Larva mining blotches in cinnamon and Alseodaphne semecarprfolia, 
When ready to pupate the larva works around in a gallery by the edge of the 
leaf and pupates internally under the turned-over edge. The larva is often 
found in conjunction with that of Acrocercops civica, sharing the same leaf. 
(Maxrwell.) 
The pupal cell is often found occupied by a Mite which apparently attacks 
and destroys the full-fed larva and newly-formed pupa. 
PHYLLOCNISTIS HABROCHROA, MEYR. (ante, page 172.) 
Bred in North Kanara in August 1913 and January 1915 from larva 
mining an irregularly wandering gallery in leaves of an unidentified plant 
locally called “ cheli’’; also found in a segond unidentified leaf, which is
