gregarious, and drop to the ground when disturbed. Thii'd moult early in 
June, about the middle of which month they suspend themselves by the tail 
near the bottom of the stems of the buslies, and there change to the pupa 
state. The imago appears in about fifteen days, in the first or second week 
of July. A few come out in August and September, but not in sufiicient 
numbers to constitute a succession of broods. The imago is seldom found 
far from the food-plant, which grows near running water. 
" It is a very local insect, but, where occurring, abundant. It is to be 
found in wet ravines at fi-om 3000 to 4000 feet elevation in Kulu. It is not 
a rapid flier, and is easily captured. When at rest it may be taken by the 
fingers. It is very constant in its appearance, frequenting the same localities 
year after year. The imago does not hibernate."
