35. Crocidolomia binotalis Zeller View in CoL ,

K. Vet.-Akad., Handl. (1852), 66, 1854; Hampson, Fauna Brit. India, Moths 4: 372, 1896.

Piti , May 14, reared from cabbage, Swezey; Piti , Aug. 13, 26, Oct. 14, at light, Swezey. Three specimens at Bishop Museum, Fullaway , 1911.

This moth is widely distributed from South Africa through southern Asia to Formosa, Java, Australia and Norfolk Island. The caterpillars feed on mustard, radish, cabbage, and other cruciferous plants in India. I found it on cabbage at Piti , Guam, but not as commonly as Hellula undalis .
