Thorax: Ground colour scales white, prothorax with black posterior margin of scales, additional individual black spots situated more posteriorly which may or may not merge to form a black band, further thoracic spots present mesally and posteriorly on thorax dorsal surface, thorax overall thickly scaled.

(n = 8); subtriangular, outer margin convex. Forewing dorsum ground colour shiny white, ground colour uniform across entire wing except for contrasting black lines. Overall wing pattern rather complex, best described by presence of five lines: a zigzagging antemedial line with a smaller black patch of scales present inwardly at base of wing near thorax, a wavy medial line, a second more zigzagging medial line, and a pair of zigzagging postmedial lines that jut sharpy outward at intersections with veins. Subapically, postmedial line thicker and appearing as a splotch, other lines thickest costally and along anal margin of wing. Along anal margin two medial lines and innermost postmedial line coalesce. Between antemedial line and medial line are variable black circles, one at anal angle and two near costa that variably connect. Discal spot absent. Wing margin with black marks between veins. Forewing ventrum mostly unmarked except for subapical and costal marks, faint postmedial line may be present, and intervenular black marks at wing margin. Hindwing dorsum mostly pure white but a few black scales may be present at margin and anal angle. Hindwing ventrum as for hindwing dorsum, usually without black scales. Frenulum a single bristle.

Eggs were not observed in nature. In captivity eggs regularly hatch in the morning, generally between 8.00 and 10.00am. Larvae chew through but do not consume the entire egg chorion. First-instar larvae prefer very young foliage, specifically

leaves that are still red in colour and not fully developed, and due to the small size of these leaves, the larval resting positions depend on the shape and size of the leaf, on either the adaxial or the abaxial surface. As in the previous species, the larvae lay down a silken platform on the leaf surface and scrape the leaf surface to feed, leaving behind patches of skeletonised leaves. Unlike other species, larvae are quite restless, wandering to new leaves frequently, likely due to the small size of preferred leaf tissue per leaf. Due to the thinness of young

leaves, the skeletonisation of the leaves often cuts through the entire thickness of the leaf and so the larvae will feed on the margins of the holes cut in the leaf tissue. All subsequent instars feed from the edge of the leaf. Early third-instar larvae wander daily, stopping to feed occasionally and generally settling down to feed overnight, this daily cycle occurs until roughly halfway through the instar when the larvae become less restless and feed more consistently. Time spent in each instar and overall larval progression is slower than in previously discussed species. The fourth instar was observed to wander occasionally, but not as regularly as in the third instar. Some larvae undergo six instars, with the fourth and fifth instars of these larvae very similar to the fourth instar of larvae that undergo five total instars. Both terminal fifth and sixth instar larvae give rise to either male or female adults; thus, the number of instars was not indicative of sex. Larval behaviour is otherwise as for previous species except we noted that prepupal larvae were more regularly displaying characteristic wandering and darkening in colour in the morning rather than in the evening as in previous species. Cocoon building behaviour is also as in previous species.

One of the reared larvae made a cocoon that was opened before the adult eclosed. This allowed us to observe the hatching sequence in detail. The adult moth exits the pupa in the evening but takes nearly 2 h to exit the cocoon. We noted that the cocoon near the head of the moth became darker as it was dampened by a liquid released by the moth, the moth then rapidly exits the cocoon and fully expands its wings within minutes.
