404 Mr. Forsayeth on the life-history of 



Trisula variegata, Moore. 

 Mhow, August 28th, 1881. 



The larva, of which I have only seen a single speci- 

 men, was stated to have heen found on the leaves of a 

 Pipal tree (Ficus relir/iosa). It was thick, fleshy, and 

 "grub-like," of a dull sap-green colour, and the body 

 scantily clothed with moderately long hairs. 



The cocoon was made of sand and small stones firmly 

 bound together with silk of very strong texture, in a 

 corner of the cage, partly under the surface of the 

 earthen or sandy layer in its bottom. 



The pupa has a curved caudal spine, and is of a rich 

 chestnut-colour. It did not appear to be fastened within 

 the cocoon. 



The imago came out on October 6th. I have not met 

 with another specimen.
