Occurs at Mussoorie and in the interior from 5,000 to 7,000 feet 

 elevation in June and July, but is not common anywhere. The larvae 

 feed on the leaves of the hill bamboo, Arundinaria falcata, Nees, 

 Natural Order Uraminece, and are to a certain extent gregarious, as 

 from three to seven have been found enclosed in a sort of nest or shelter 

 made by joining three or four leaves together. The eggs are laid 

 early in July on the underside of a wide leaf in lines, as many as 

 34 have been counted on one leaf. The larva is straw-coloured, 

 with a dark head, till nearly full-grown, when it becomes of a light 

 ochrebus colour with a dorsal brown stripe, and a subdorsal yellowish) 

 stripe; between these lines is a series of dark brown spots. Head 

 reddish. Anal segment with two yellowish points or processes. The 

 pupa is short and stout and of a very dark colour, and is placed in a 

 sort of nest in moss in September, the imago emerging the following 

 June. 



25. Rhaphicera moorei, Butler. 



Brought down by native collectors from the higher valleys of the 

 River Ganges in August and September. Major M. Fawcett has 

 taken it at Landbur which adjoins Mussoorie, in August at 7,000 feet. 

 Found also at Nag Tiba, north of Mussoorie. It appears to be every- 

 where somewhat rare.
