with minute, colourless, star-topped hairs and is minutely punctured ; 

 anal margin with eight longish simple hairs and a few branched hairs. 

 Colour is black brown as to head ; the body is greenish-chocolate. 



Pupa. — The pupa is identical with that of S. dasahara, except that 

 the spiracular expansions are longly semi- circular, thickened at apex, 

 and rugose ; the proboscis is free from the end of the wings to the 

 centre of segment 9 only. Colour of pupa is a dirty greenish- white. 

 Size as in S. dahasara. 



Habits. — The habits of the larva are exactly similar to those of 

 the larvee of the genus Sarangesa ; the cells formed are similar, and 

 the manner of pupation also. 



191. Sarangesa purendra, Moore. (Plate VII, Fig. 4.) 



The imago is similar in habits to C. dan, Fabricius. We have 

 found many in Karwar during the monsoon months, settling on the 

 ground and on leaves in shady places. We have bred many, but only 

 below the ghats and in the monsoon. 



Larva. — The larva is exactly similar to that of C. dan^ except 

 that in this species tbe collar is rosy- white, and the colour of the 

 body a dark, blackish olive-green. Length 17 mm. 



Pupa. — Head large, quadrate, with a rounded boss between the 

 eyes, which is clothed with fine, erect, red hairs curved at the points; 

 surface of body clothed with reddish, short, curved-topped hairs, 

 shorter than those on the head ; segments 1 and 2 finely rugose ; 

 rest of pupa shiny and smooth. Proboscis free from end of wings 

 and reaching end of body (to the cremaster). Length 14 mm. 



Habits. — Egg laid anywhere on leaf or stalk ; the larva on emerg- 

 ing immediately makes a cell by turning over a triangular piece from 

 the edge of the leaf on to the upperside, choosing a small young leaf. 

 In the last two stages the larva makes a cell out of two or three 

 leaves, which it binds together strongly with silk, often incorporating 

 a dead leaf, and covers the inside of the cell laxly with silk ; it pupates 

 in the cell. Larva feeds on Blepharis asperrima. 



192. Sarangesa dasahara, Moore. 



This insect is like the last in habits ; the imago differs from 

 typical S. dasahara in having a white, instead of a dark, fringe (we 

 have been informed by Captain Watson, who has seen our specimens).
