Cameroons, Lolodorf; 1 ex. (Coll. Paravicini). This insect agrees

Bombay, Karwar, bred December accidentally from Embelici 
rohustct (Myrsincicece ) ( T . R. Bell), habits of larva not noticed 
(Maxwell)-, Coorg, Dibidi, February to May (. Neivcorne ); 4 ex. 
My former record of coronias from Dibidi was erroneous, being 
founded on an imperfect specimen of this species. Hence the 
Ceylon record of coronias (from a specimen which I no longer 
possess) must be considered doubtful until confirmed. It is probable 
that the larva does not really feed on the above plant, but on 
scale-insects or refuse found on it. Pupa protruded from cocoon in 
emergence.
