Villar [1916, p. 513] describes the attraction of two male moths to 
a caged female at Okkyi, Shwegu sub-division ; one arrived at 8 o’clock 
on the night of the 26th April, 1916, and the second at 11 o’clock on the 
following night. Mr. W. C. Rooke records in his diary for 30th March, 
1917, at Kvungin, S. Toungoo. “ Moths again kept coming round the 
light; whether the light attracted the moths or the other moths in the 
cage attracted them by calling I do not know.”
