uncommon in Bombay on the uncultivated parts of Kamballa Hill, and about dry 

 stubble fields " (E. H. Aitken, id. 1886, 131). " Pretty common in open country, 

 but absent during the monsoon. We have reared the larva in the Dekkan and 

 Khandeish, and found many at Karwar, in October, on a plant which appeared to 

 be a species of Barlei-ia. The ground-colour of the larva was usually dark brown 

 or grey, with a broad dorsal stripe formed of minute white and blue spots, spines 

 black " (J. Davidson and E. H. Aitken, id. 1890, 272 ; 1896, 249). Mr. S. N. 

 Ward records finding the " larva at Koonoor in January and December on the 

 Kolay Mooloo and Byle Choolee " (MS. Notes). Col. C. H. E. Adamson records it 

 as " very common in Burma." Signor L. Fea took it in Bhamo in July and November. 

 Commander A. Carpenter obtained it in Mandalay in January. Dr. J. Anderson 

 found it " very common in Mergui and King Island, Tenasserim, in December, 

 January, and February" (J. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 35). 



In Ceylon, according to Mr. F. M. Mackwood, " it is a scarce, low country 

 insect." Capt. Wade took it at Kandy and at Dambool. 



We possess specimens from Kasauli, W. Himalaj^a ; Kutch, Kattywar, Sind ; 

 Bombay; Nilgiris ; Chittagong, Bhamo, Burma; Mergui; Andaiuans ; Nicobars ;
