Malaclira capitata, bariar (Sida rhombifolia) and some other plants during 
the rains. 
Zalissa venosa, Mo., is found breeding upon the common creeper 
panchanjuria ( Vitis trifolia ) ; we figure the larva which is not common 
but may be found in the rains. This species is in the Fauna placed in the 
Agaristidce. (Plate XXXVI.) Trisula variegata, Mo., has an expanse 
of three to five inches, and is red-brown with dark markings. The larva 
is stated to be red-brown with numerous blue warts clothed with rather 
sparse tufts of long hair ; it feeds on the pipal ( Ficus religiosa), and the 
cocoon is covered with stones, excrement, etc. (Hampson.) Erygia has 
very slender palpi almost naked; E. apicalis, Guen., is common, a small 
moth of dark red-brown colour. Lacera alope, Cram., is dark reddish 
with grey markings; the larva is known from Ceylon and is green with 
two anal tubercles. Hamodes aurantiaca, Guen., is a moth of an orange 
brown colour, the forewing produced and with an oblique line from the 
apex across both wings. At rest it very closely resembles a dead leaf 
and is found in wooded places. 
Ischyja manlia, Cram., is a large dark brown moth, the smaller male 
with dark blotches on the forewing, both sexes with a conspicuous blue 
band on the hindwing. It is not uncommon as a moth during the rains. 
Spiredonia is smaller with two common species, S. anops, Guen., and S. 
feducia , Stoll. Hylodes caranea, Cram., is brown, with a light band across 
the ends of the wings. The green larva, which has two anal tubercles, is 
said to feed on Acanthads. Catephia linteola, Guen., is larger, the male 
with heavily tufted fore femora and tibiae, which are absent in C. 
acronyctoides , Guen. C. inquieta, Wlk., was reared from larvae feeding 
upon sweet potato in Behar. It is not uncommon in Bengal generally 
upon this crop ; the caterpillar is grey with bright vermilion stippled 
stripes, a yellow lateral line and, at the hind end, a single round white 
spot on the dorsal surface. (Plate XXVIII, figs. 4, 5.) 
Sympis rufibasis, Guen., is stated to feed on the litchi ( Nephelium 
litchi), the pupa found in the rolled end of the leaf (Moore). Plecoptera 
reflexa, Guen., is a small grey moth abundantly found in long grass 
near sissoo trees ( Dalbergia sissu). The larva is green, the first two 
pairs of suckerfeet reduced; it feeds on the leaves of sissoo, pupating in 
the bark or on the soil among fallen leaves. Acantholipes pansalis,
