416 Mr. Forsayeth on the life-history of 



surfaces of the leaves, bound together with a few silken 

 ligaments, lies the pupa. 



Pupa of a deep brown, almost black colour, fastened 

 in cocoon by the numerous fine, hooked, apical spines. 

 It is without any of the white efflorescence generally 

 seen on the pupae of those Nocture which make their 

 cocoon of leaves and silk on the plant upon which they 

 feed. 



EEMIGIID^. 



Remigia frugalis, Fabr. 



Mhow, October 19th, 1881. 



The larva is found on grass. The two anterior prolegs 

 are obsolete. Movement looping. When the body is 

 curved in the act of looping two black transverse bars 

 become visible on dorsum of thorax, posterior to the last 

 pair of legs. 



I find that I have neglected to note the character of 

 cocoon or pupa, but from memory I am under the im- 

 pression that the transformation took place in an under- 

 ground earthen cell. 



Imagines of a general ground colour of brown ; a 

 transverse bar on upper wings near the posterior costae. 

 One specimen has densely plumed posterior legs ; the 

 other two are naked. 



BOARMIID^. 

 Hyjjochroma dis2)ensata, Walk. (PL XIV., figs. 12, 12 a). 



Mhow, October 14th, 1881. 



Larva found on leaves of Zizyphus jujuha. Legs 

 6,2,2. Three anterior pairs of prolegs obsolete. Move- 

 ment looping. Vertex bifid when viewed from above 

 and behind. 



Cocoon made on the surface of the ground, net-like, 

 very thin silk, and the meshes large and open like those 

 of a fishing-net ; quite useless for purposes of conceal- 

 ment of pupa. 



Pupa rather attenuated towards apex of abdomen. 



Imago with delicate ashen-white wings, with fine black 

 linear markings. The posterior costa? of the under 

 wings project beyond those of the front wings. The 

 position of the wings when the imago is at rest is hori- 

 zontal, and they are partly extended at a considerable 

 angle from the central line of body.
