Phalena rosalia Cramer, Pap. Exot. 4: 152, pl. 368, fig. F, 1781.

Eumelea rosalia, Hampson, Fauna Brit. India, Moths 3: 320, fig. 155, 1895.

This orange-yellow moth has a distribution throughout India, Ceylon, Burma, China, Formosa, and Malayan and Austro-Malayan subregions. We obtained a single specimen in Guam. It was reared from a looping caterpillar on Macaranga thompsoni , Mt. Alifan , May 21, Swezey . The adult moth issued June 6 . Similar looping caterpillars were collected from Macaranga at Dededo , August 11 and Fadian , September 18 , but they failed to mature, so it is. not certain whether they were the same species.
