Bombay. Mahableshwar, bred December from larvae on Salix 
tetrasgierraa ; larva mines a rather regular oval blotch on underside 
of leaf adjoining midrib, excrement gathered in a heap at lower 
end of blotch, pupa in blotch at upper end ; imago sits head down¬ 
wards (i?. M. Maxwell ). A singular species, but perhaps allied to 
iteina.
