Sasa, June 22, reared from caterpillar feeding in flowers of A.belmoschus esculentus, Usinger; Piti, July 8, at light, Swezey; Piti, Sept. 17, Oct. 10, reared from caterpillars boring the tips of branches of a weed, Malachra capitata, Swezey.
This moth is distributed from India and Ceylon to Burma, Java, Andaman Islands, Philippines, Australia, and Fiji. In India, it is called the cotton bollworm on account of the injury to cotton bolls by its caterpillars. In Guam, it was recorded by Fullaway in 1911 as a stem borer in cotton. We reared the moths from caterpillars mostly on weeds.
