Since the preceding portion of this paper was prepared, T have received a letter from Professor Fernald, in which he states that he has "seen Machimia tentoHfuella Clem., which seems to be identical with your [my] Depressaria fernaldeUa''\ I have not seen tentorifueJla, and the species may be thesame. There is certainly a close resemblance in many points; but an examination offernaldella and a comparison of it with tentorifuella, as described by Clemens, shows many discrepancies. Thus tentorifueVa has the vertex ^'- shaggy^\ which is incorrect as applied to fernaldella. The latter has a row of ten small blackish spots around the apex, which are not mentioned by Dr. Clemens ; and, furthermore, it has a brownish line before these spots, and nearly parallel to them, which is so unusual a mark that I think it must have struck Dr. Clemens had it existed in his species ; yet he does not mention it. There are other less striking differences in ornamentation. D. fernaldella, while not a typical Depressa- ria by any means, seems to me to be more appropriately located in that genus than in Cryptolechia, to which I should refer tentorifuella as described by Clemens, and to which it has been referred by Zeller. While, therefore, the species may be the same, I, for the present at least, consider them to be distinct. 84 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. CRYPTOLECHIA. In the Can. Ent. iv. 129, I have attempted to define a new genus under the name of Hagno, and in that connection have alluded to its resemblance to Psilocorsis Clem., which was known to me only by Dr. Clemens's writings, not having seen any of his species. The wings of Psilocojsis, as described by Dr. Clemens, seemed to me to differ mate- rially from those of Hagno. I also suggested the probability that both might prove to be equivalent to Cri/ptolechia, which was then known to me only by scattered notices iu various books. I find that Hagno is equivalent to Psilocorsis, and both are equivalent to a section of Cryj)- tolccJiia. C. CRYPTOLECHIJEELLA. Bejjressaria ? cryptolecMceella, Cham. Can. Ent. iv. 9L Hagno cryptolechuetlla, Cham. ibid. 132. Smaller and prettier than any of the allied species known to me. The wings have a faint pinkish or roseate lustre, and have the lustre also of "watered silk". The transverse blackish lines are not visible to the naked eye, and the base of the wings is orange-yellow. If my recol- lection is not at fault, the larva feeds on leaves of the Holly {Hex). C. FAGINELLA. Hagno faginella, Cham. Can. Ent. iv. 131. The close resemblance of some allied species makes a more detailed description of this species than that heretofore given necessary. The palpi are ochreous, with a blackish line along the under surface of the second joint, continued on to the apex of the third, and another on the outer and one on the inner surface of the third joint. Cnjptolechia {Psilocorsis) querciceUa Clem., according to Dr. Clemens, has the third joint black, with two yellowish-white stripes in front. I, however, have not seen the species, and I know from experience how easy it is to make a mistake as to the number and position of these lines. A species from Texas which I formerly (Can. Ent. vi. 231) identified with fagi- nella, but which 1 now consider distinct {vid. post), and an undescribed species, of which a single specimen is before me, have the palpi exactly as I have described them in faginella — that is, the upper surface of the third joint is ochreous instead of black, as Dr. Clemens's account would make it. C. faginella has the head ochreous-yellow, and the thorax of the same color, only darker, as if tinged with fuscous. In this, the Texan species agrees with it. The undescribed species above mentioned, which is from Missouri, and has been bred by Professor Riley and Miss Murt- feldt from a larva feeding on Ambrosia has the head darker than in fagi- nella, and of the same color with the thorax. C. querciceUa, according to Dr. Clemens, has the head and thorax yellowish-brown (as in the Mis- souri specimen). P. rcflexa, as described by Dr. Clemens, has the palpi as in faginella as to ornamentation; but from the fact that Dr. Clemens CHAMBERS ON NEW TINEINA. 85 separates it from quercicella as a distinct section, characterized by the great length of the palpi, it is not necessary to refer to it farther in tliis connection. G. faginella has the basal joint of the antennae yellowish- ochreous, except a wide bhickish line extending along its upper surface; quercicella has "two black stripes in front"; and the species from Texas and that from Missouri agree in this respect with quercicella. C. faginella and also the Texas and Missouri specimens have the stalk of the antennoe ochreous-yellow, with two blackish lines extending along the upper side of the basal half, and the remainder of the stalk has each alternate joint blackish; quercicella has simply " a black line above, terminating in black spots". In quercicella, the fore wings are "yellowish-brown, varied with blackish irregular strife, chiefly from the costa, with a black dot on the end of the disk"; faginella agrees with this description, ex- cept that I should call the ground-color of the wings dull yellowish- ochreous, as they are likewise in tbe Missouri specimen; while in the Texas species the ground color is paler, while the transverse stripes are more distinct, showing also a tendency to become more confluent, espe- cially about the end of the disk, where they present to the naked eye something like a faint dark fascia; faginella has a more silky lustre than the other species, though this may be owing to the fact that the specimens are newer. In the Texan specimens, and in that from Missouri, there is no spot at the end of the disk, and it is not distinct in faginella. In quercicella, " the posterior margin is tipped with blackish, and the cilia are yellowish- brown, containing two dark fuscous hinder marginal lines"; iu faginella, there is a row of blackish spots around the apex, and a single faint brownish hinder marginal line in the cilia (which in the single specimen before me are a little injured). In the Missouri specimen, there are five very distinct blackish spots around the apex, and behind them in the cilia are two distinct, brownish, hinder marginal lines. Indeed, the cilia may be called brown, with a median, paler, hinder marginal line. Besides the five distinct spots, there are other very faint ones, and the brownish cilia are paler than the spots. The specimens from Texas agree in this respect with that from Missouri. One of these I sent to Mr.Cresson for comparison with Dr. Clemens's type of quercicella in the collection of the entomological section of the Phila. Acad. Sci. (formerly American Ent. Soc). After comparing them, Mr. Cresson informs me that it "is not Psilocorsis quercicella Clem., which differs by having a rather broad, distinct, dusky border on the apical margin of the anterior wings, other- wise they look very much alike". The species are all of very nearly the same size — about eight to nine lines in expanse of wings. Professor Zeller (Bei. z. Kennt. 1873, 40) iden- tifies specimens received by him from Ohio and Texas with quercicella Clem. His Texan specimens were collected in the same region of the State from which I have received mine; and as in two collections that I have received from that region there is only one species, I think the 86 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SUEVEY. probability is tbat qiiercicella Zell. {ncc Clem.) is the same species that I have referretl to above, and which 1 formerly ideutified ^ithfaginella, but which 1 uow incline to consider distinct, and for which I suggest the name of cressonella. I, however, do this with some hesitation ; for while, with the material before me, I consider the species distinct, I recognize the probability that, with fuller collections of bred specimens of all the supposed species, it is not improbable that they will be deemed at most only phytophagic varieties of a single species. I am not sure but that the species described by me as Geleckia duhi- tella is properly referable to this genus. C? OBSCUROMACULELLA, n. Sp. The palpi in this species resemble those of duhitella above mentioned, and are more robust than in quercicella, cryptolechiella, &c., mentioned above. Pale ochreous,so densely dusted with fuscous as to obscure the ground- color; on the fore wings the dusting is least dense along the fold and about the base. The sjiots on the wings are small, indistinct, and easily effaced; one of them is about the middle of the fold, and one near its end, one above the fold before the middle, one a little larger farther back, a small one at the end of the cell, and four or five indistinct ones are placed farther back, within, but parallel to, the apical margin.

The Kentucky specimen is a trifle larger than those from Colorado. In the Colorado specimen, there are three ocellated spots on the fore wings, one of which shows indications of division. In the Kentucky specimen, it is completely divided into two spots. In the former, they consist of a black dot surrounded by a reddish- ochreous annulus; in the latter, the annulus is gray. These spots are very indistinct without the use of a lens. 8S BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. G. QUINQUECRISTATELLA, n. S}). This species has much the aspect of a Laverna.

The hind wiugs are wider than the fore wings, and emarginate beneath the apex. Dark brown ; the face and palpi and apical part of fore wings dusted with silvery-gray. On the fore wings, at about the basal one-third, are two raised tufts, one above, the other beneath, the fold ; at about the middle is a single discal tuft, and at about the apical one-third are two others J cilia grayish -fuscous, dusted sparsely with hoary 5 hind wings fuscous, with stramineous cilia ; abdomen dark brown ; anal tuft yel- lowish.

PALPiLiNEELLA?, Cham. The species was described from Texan specimens in the Cin. Quar. Jour. Sci. ii. 252, which, appearing brown to the naked eye, show under a lens distinctly enough a white fascia before the cilia, which sometimes appears to be interrupted in the middle. I have taken at the light in Kentucky six specimens, which 1 mark with the ?, because, while they agree in all other respects with the Texan specimens, three of them show no indication of the fascia with or without a lens ; while the other three, in place of the fascia, have a costal and opposite dorsal spot, visible to the unaided eye. Unless the palpi are observed, it may be mistaken for G. palpianulella. G. 6-NOTELLA, n. sp.

Antennae, thorax, and fore wings blackish-brown ; about the basal one-fifth of the wing-length is an oblique white costal streak crossing the fold; farther back, about the middle of the costa, is a shorter one; and before the cilia is a still shorter one, pointing obliquely forward. These three streaks are all tipped with silvery scales, more abundantly on the first two than on the third. On the dorsal margin, respectively nearly opposite or a little before the first two costal streaks, are two tufts of silvery metallic scales; apex with a whitish spot and sometimes dusted with white.

The third joint of the palpi is longer and more acute than in rubcmella, more like that of roseosuffusella; but the fore wings are much less roseate than in either of the other two species, frequently showing no tinge of the roseate hue; and, indeed, that hue when most distinct in it is but barely perceptible. As in rubensella (and sometimes in roseosuffusella), the first dark band does. not cover the base of the wing. The second baud is like that of roseosuffusella, but the third extends across the wing, the dorsal portion being, however, paler than the costal, and the costo-apical part of the wing is ochreo-fiiscous. In other res[)ects, it resembles roseosiffusella. It is, however, darker and more grayish, less yellowish than that species. Bosque County, Texas. G. LACTIFLOSELLA, II. sp.

There is something about the species which suggests a resemblance to Tinea in ornamentation and in the form of the hind wings. G. ORESOENTIFASCIELLA, CJiam. The crescentic fascia is always indistinct, and frequently not discerni- ble, and sometimes in i^lace of it there is simply a small, yellow, costal and opi)osite dorsal spot. The i)alpi are pale gray, brownish on the outer surface of the basal half of the second joint, and the tip of the third joint is brown.

The statement in tbe description of this species, that it is only micro- scopically distinguishable from G. solaniiella, is too broad, thougb the resemblance is very close. The palpi of this species resemble those of Cleodora, though the brush of the second joint of the palpi is smaller than in that genus. I have not examined the neuration, but I am in- clined to transfer the sjiecies to Cleodora. The ornamentation is much like that of C. palUdistrigella Cham, and C. pallidella Cham, though the white streak on the fold and that on the disk which characterize those species are wanting in this, and in their place, or rather in place of their con- tained black streaks, there are in this species one or two small brown spots. It has the oblique costal and dorsal white streaks before the cilia as in those species, and behind them the short, white, costal streaks, but not the dorsal ones, and there is only one brown, hinder marginal line instead of three, and that one is indistinct. CLEODORA. C. PALLIDELLA, Cham. This species was described from two specimens. On the receipt of a larger collection I find a greater amount of variation than I had looked for. The ground-color of the wings varies from ochreous-yellow to white, suffused with pale ochreous-fuscous. The palpi also vary in a similar manner, the outer surface being usually pale ocbreous, dusted with fuscous. By a slip of the pen in the description I have stated that the brown spot is on top of the third joint ; it should read secoud joint. The auteuuaj are fuscous, and the head and thorax are paler, more whitish than the fore wings; there is a white streak along the fold containing a blackish spot, and parallel to it is a discal, basal, white streak containing a black line or dash. The color of the wings deepens toward the apex, and just 92 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SUEVEY. before the cilia are the long, oblique, costal and opposite dorsal white streaks mentioned in the description, and behind these are three short, white, costal and four dorsal streaks, the latter produced into the cilia, which are white, with three distinct, dark brown, hinder marginal lines, placed respectively at their base, middle, and apes; the legs are whitish, stained with fuscous on their anterior surfaces; and the alar expansion ranges from six to seven lines. C. PALLIDISTRIGELLA, Cham. This species is a little smaller than the preceding, ranging from five to six lines in alar expansion. The color of the head and appendages and the thorax resemble those of the preceding species, and it is fully as variable. The tegulae and extreme base of the wings are white, the wings otherwise being much darker than in any of the specimens of the preceding species. They vary from orange-yellow to a dark yellow suf- fused with fuscous. Tbe streak along the fold and the one above and parallel to it are indistinct, and their contained blackish spots are smaller, loMle the costal margin from the middle to the cilia is tchite; the costal oblique streak is much less oblique than in the preceding species, and there are no costal spots behind it; on the other hand, the dorsal oblique streak is more oblique, passing along the base of the cilia, into which it sends three white streaks. The differences above indicated by the italics induce me to consider the species distinct. AXARSIA. A. TRIMAOULELLA, Cham. I have taken this species also in Kentucky. It was described from Texas.

Nearer to the margin is another, which begins indistinctly near the base, but becomes wider and more distinct toward the apex ; and another, still wider and more distinct, begins near the base, within the costal margin, and passes back to the cilia, being, however, interrupted beyond the middle by two narrow short ochreous streaks, which mark the position of two subcostal veinlets.

This species departs so far from the usual type of structure, as well as ornamentation, that I hesitate a little about locating it in this genus. The fore wing is rather more caudate than it is figured for C. clrnreUa in Ins. Brit, iii., or for G. geminifcrella by Dr. Clemens. The cell is acutely closed, and toward its end the subcostal and median veins each give off three branches; while the apical vein, after giving off two branches to the dorsal margin, and then one to the costal margin, continues through the long Cauda to its apex. The face, antennse, and palpi are white, and also the head, which has a faint purplish tinge, and the antenna; and palpi are marked with lon- gitudinal black lines.

I have bred a few species from small tentiform mines on the under side of leaves of the Silver-leaf Poplar, which, though very distinct from argent inotella Clem, and L. Jitchella Clem., I place in the same group with them. It is perhaps nearer to L. carpinicolella than to any of the other species figured in the Nat. Hist. Tin. Palpi, head, tuft, anteunce, under surface of thorax, legs, and abdo- men pure snowy-white; upper surface of abdomen and fore wings pale golden ; there are three white longitudinal streaks on the thorax (one median, and continuous with a dorsobasal white streak on the wings, the other two passing over the tegulie* and continuous with a median basal white streak on the wings); there is also a costo basal white streak on the fore wings, and these three basal wing-streaks are of about equal length, and less than one-fourth of the length of the wings. Immedi- ately behind the dorso-basal streak, and scarcely distinct from it (prob- ably sometimes confluent with it), is the first dorsal streak, which approaches a square form, and is dark-margined before and above. Almost opposite to this dorsal streak, but a little behind it, is the first costal streak; it is oblique, not pointed, and is dark-margined before. The second costal and second dorsal are opposite each other, the costal one being the largest of the two, triangular and dark-margined before. The third costal and third dorsal are nearly opposite, the costal being perhaps a little farther back, and being larger than the dorsal, and larger also than the second costal ; both are dark-margined before. These are only the three dorsal streaks. The fourth costal is just be- fore the apex, points a little obliquely forward, and is margined behind by a small apical patch of brown dusting.

Taft pale saffron, darker toward its sides. Antennae silvery- white beneath, shining brown above. Thorax and fore wings deep red- dish-saffron, with two silvery-white fascia on the wings, dark-margined behind, each of which is nearly straight, one placed at about the basal third, the other behind the middle: immediately before the cilia are a costal and an opposite dorsal silvery-white streak, also dark-margined behind ; apex densely dusted with brown, forming a large spot, which has a few white scales before it and others intermixed; cilia saffron, tipped with silvery-gray, and with a dark brown, hinder marginal line before the tips. Hind wings and upper surface of the abdomen dark fuscous. Under surface of the abdomen silvery-white, with a large yel- low spot on each side of each segment, and one on the under surface of each of the last three or four joints: anal tuft yellow, tipped with silvery. First (and second ?) pair of legs brown on their anterior, white on their posterior surfaces: the tarsi annulate with white; hind legs white, the tarsi annulate with fuscous, and a pale saffron spot on the outer surface of the tibia. Alar expansion scant four lines. Described from a single 5 bred from a long, rather wide, and irregular mine on the upper surface of a leaf of the White Oak {Q. alha). The pupa was concealed under a white, silken web over the midrib, and the larva is unknown. It bears an evident, though not very close, relationship to L. obstric- tella Clem. ; but in the latter, instead of the costal and dorsal spots before the cilia, there is a white fascia. But this alone would not be necessarily of specific value. The streaks are, however, a little diflerently placed ; and ohstricteUa has a whitish band near the tip of the antennae, which is absent in this species ; and Dr. Clemens makes no mention of the brown outer surface of the third joint of the antenna}, nor of the yellow spots on the abdomen. He simply says, "abdomen black", and makes no mention of the palpi. But there is a more decided difference. The larva of ohstricteUa belongs to the cylindrical group, and makes a tenti- form mine on the under surface of leaves of " the Black Oak" {Q. tine- toriaf). This mine is on the upper surface of White Oak leaves, and though the larva is unknown, the character of the mine indicates that it belongs to the "^flat" group. There are other differences, but these here indicated are sufficient. As compared with L. tubiferella Clem., to which the mine and the imago bear some resemblance, it is deeper reddish-sattron than tubiferella^ which also has the tuft white, has no dorsal and no costal streak behind the fascia, and the apex is not dusted. It is more like L. guttifinitella Clem., or rather it is between obstrictella and guttifinitella; but the latter always has the first fascia oblique toward the base of the costa, the costal and dorsal spots in the apical part of the wing pointing obliquely backward and smaller, and the dusting is scattered along the base of the cilia, rather than, as in this species, forming a spot which is white- margined before. By these characters, also, guttijinitella may be dis- CHAMBERS ON NEW TINEINA. 103 tinguisbed from cincinnatieUa Cham., though perhaps one might not find much difference in the published descriptions. L. cincin7iaUella is also more golden than saffron, with the dusting of the fascia) produced back along the middle of the wings. There are also other minute differences between the species mentioned, and there is no difiiculty in dis- tinguishing bred specimens. L. AUSTEALISELLA, n. sp. No basal streak nor apical spot on the fore wings, which are pale golden (about the color of L. argentinaiella Clem.). There is no distinct hinder marginal line in the pale yellow cilia. The marks on the wings are, first, a small, white, dorsal streak : then an oblique, white, costal streak about the basal third of the wing-length ; a silvery-white fascia about the middle, which is posteriorly angulated nearer to tho costal than to the dorsal margin ; a small, silvery-white, costal spot im- mediately before the cilia, and a longer dorsal one opposite to it, extend- ing obliquely backward ; all of these marks are posteriorly dark-mar- gined, the dark margin of the last costal and dorsal streaks almost meeting in the apical part of the wing; apex dusted with dark brown on a white ground. Thorax pale golden, with a white streak from its anterior margin to the apex, llead, tuft, palpi, and antennre silvery- white, each joint of the antennae dotted above with brown, and the basal joint pale golden above. Under surfiice of body, wings, and legs pale luteous, the legs stained with brownish on their anterior surfaces. Alar expansion three lines and one half. Bosque County, Texas. L. BTCOLORELLA, n. sp. Specimens of this species were bred by me three years ago from flat mines and larvae, on the upper surface of leaves of Quercus hicolor, and, without sufficient examination, were labelled in my cabinet "A ulmella^. I am now satisfied that they are distinct species, though closely related; bicolorella is between basistrigeUa Clem, and ulmella Cham. The stripe along the dorsal margin of the primaries, which in basistrigeUa only extends about or but little over one-half of the wing-length, in bicolo- rella extends to the cilia, and in ulmella it is deflexed along the base of the cilia to the apex, and the oblique dorsal streak, which in basistrigeUa is placed at the end of the dorsal basal streak, is absent in both the other species. In this species there are two costal oblique streaks placed almost as in nlmella, which has three, and behind these two streaks there are three small white dots within the margin, and one of them touching the brown dusting which is i^aced along the base of the dorsal cilia, and the second costal streak has the tip margined with brown dust- ing. Tho wings, both in this species and in ulmella^ are perhaps better described as yellowish-saffron than as pale golden. The head and palpi are white, the tuft with a little yellowish intermixed, and the antennae also are annulate with brown, as in ulmella. The abdomen is paler yellow than the wings, and tinged above with fuscous, and on the upper sur- 104 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SUKVEY. face of the thorax has a white line from its anterior margin to its apex {ulmella also has this line sometimes). Alar expansion as in ulmella. Kentucky. AOANTHOCNEMES, gen. nov. The species on which I found this genus is very near to Pliyllocnistis Zell. As in that genus, the posterior tibiae are set around with spines or bristles, which in this species are also found on the basal tarsal joint (hence the generic name). It differs from Phyllocnistis 2i% ioWow^: the lace is wider in proportion to its length, the antenna} are much shorter, and the basal joint smaller, while the stalk is serrated toward its apex. The maxlUary palpi are tcell developed, being as long as the first and second joints of the labial pair. In the dead insect, both pairs droop. The an- terior wings are more decidedly caudate than in Phyllocnistis ; more so in fact than in any species known to me, unless it be some species of Cosmopteryx ; and the neuration, while resembling that of Phyllocnistis more nearly than any other genus, is yet sufficiently distinct from it. The costal vein is short and indistinct 5 the subcostal is also very indis- tinct, and appears to run straight through thawing to the margin before the apex. Tbe median vein, however, is very distinct, running through the middle of the wing and gradually disappearing in the " cauda " or produced apex, just before which it gives a branch to the costal margin; cell unclosed (°?) (or discal vein oblique and subobsolete); there appears also to be a very indistinct branch from the median to the dorsal margin before the distinct one to the costal margin, so indistinct, indeed, that I am not sure that it represents a vein at all ; submedian tolerably dis- tinct. Hind wings linear with the costal; submedian (?) and internal veins moderately distinct; the subcostal, obsolete at its base, becomes grad- ually more distinct as it passes to the extreme apex of the wing. Cilia of both wings long. As I have examined the neuration of only a single specimen, and a single wing only of each pair, it may prove to be more distiuct than I have found it. As shown by the following description, the ornamentation, while to some extent resembling that of Phyllocnistis, is yet of a different pattern. A. FUSCOSCAPULELLA, n. sp.

Kentucky. NEPTICULA. N. QUERCIPULCHELLA, «. Sp. Closely allied to unifanciella Cham, and equally as pretty. The larva is bright green, with a deeper green line of contents; it makes a long, narrow, winding, and gradually widening track, similar to that of N. quercicastanella Cham, in leaves of Quercus alba, and is, I believe, the only species of the genus which leaves an old mine to make a new one. From the structure of Nepiiculcc larvai this would seem hardly possible, but I do not know how otherwise to explain the fact that I have taken aleaf containing a mine more than half finished, and which had evi- dently been but a little while unoccupied ; and on the same leaf, not an inch distant from it, was a new mine just begun, and yet containing a large larva almost fully grown, and which had evidently just reentered the leaf; the mine not being more than twice as long as the larva, and in size answering exactly to the terminal portion of the empty mine, and being in all respects exactly like it. After continuing to feed until the Dew mine was something more than half an inch long, the larva left it, and spun its cocoon on the earth in the bottom of the breeding jar, and I bred the imago from it. The larva was well grown, certainly several days old, when it began the new mine, and came from somewhere, whether or not it came from the empty mine in the same leaf. The mine, larva, and insect are larger than in quercicastanella. The head is black; antennae fuscous; occiput, eyecaps, palpi, and feet yellowish-white, silvery; thorax and fore wings deep blue-black (I think so, though it is exceedingly difficult in so small and resplendent a creature to get the correct hue), bronzed, and with purple and violet reflections: the fascia is behind the middle, silvery-white, and a little widest on the dorsal margin, and the wing behind the fascia is darker than before it, whilst the cilia are paler and less lustrous than the wing ; under surface of fore wing; cupreus-black, as also are the abdomen and legs.

Dr. Clemens gave this name to a mine and larva observed by him in Walnut leaves; and as his description of the mine, as far as it goes, answers to the mines from which I bred this species, I adopt the name. I have, however, nearly always found several mines in the same leaflet at the same time, and very much contorted and frequently crossing each other. I did not observe that the larvae differed from other Nepticulce larvae, though Dr. Clemens mentions its resemblance to the larva of a Dipteron.

The following is intended as a catalogue of plants which are fed upon by the Tineina within the limits of the United States and Canada so far as they are at present known. The best descriptions of these insects may fail to enable one to identify captured species, when, as frequently happens, two or three minute spe- cies differ only in a shade of color, or in the presence or absence of a mark of microscopic dimensions; but when the larvae, food-plants, and modes of larval and pupal life, with the character of the mines in mining species, are known, there need be little difficulty in recognizing bred specimens. With knowledge of an insect in these particulars, even a very imperfect description of the imago will usually enable us to recog- nize a species which has been bred from the larva, for although two species may resemble each other so closely that even the best written description may not enable us to determine which of the two it is, yet it will be a very rare occurrence that this close resemblance will hold good throughout its history as larva and pupa, including its food-plant, mode of feeding, larval case, or mine, or burrow, or mode of sewing or folding leaves, mode of pupation, cocoons, &c. The case is very rare that in all these respects two species approach each other so cloely that nothing distinctive and clearly marked is left of either. Yet, rare as they are, cases do sometimes occur where we are still left in doubt as to the distinct specific characters even of bred specimens, as, for instance, it may yet be considered doubtful whether Asindisca spJen- dorifuella Clem., A. juglandiella Cham., A. diospyridla Cbam., and the species mentioned by Mr. Stainton as having been found by Lord Wal- siugham mining Poplar leaves in Oregon, are distinct species, the chief reason for considering them distinct being the difference in food, it being a very unusual thing to find one of these little leaf-mining species feeding on so many and diverse plants. As to a great majority of the species, we are ignorant what they feed upon or whether they feed at all in the imago. With the exception of half a dozen species mentioned hereinafter, I have never seen any of these little species feeding upon anything except in the larval state. It is to aid in the identification of species that this catalogue has been prepared. A species having been bred, and the food-plant thus known, and its characters as larva or pupa, and its mode of feeding, 107 108 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. character of mine, &c., having been noted, and, better still, if it be recognized as belonging to any established genus, a reference to the catalogue will give the names of the species known to feed upon that plant; and a reference to the published accounts of those species will usually enable one to determine whether the species. is new, or to recog- nize it if already made known. When only the larva is known, that fact is distinctly stated; when the food of the imago is known, that also is distinctly stated.

V.-INDEX TO THE DESCRIBED TINEINA OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. By V. T. Chambers. Having, in the last ten years, described a Ifirge number of new species of the Tineina, with notes on many other species previously known in various scientific periodicals, and the notes and descriptions referred to being, therefore, scattered through various volumes, I have been urged by other entomologists to catalogue the species. Many other species had been previously described by other authors, whose publications were equally scattered and inaccessible with my own, so that, for my own convenience in the study of the group, I had prepared an index for ready reference to the species, and that index needed but little alteration to make it complete, so far as I am acquainted with the species. Convinced that a catalogue of my own species only would be of but little service to students, while the writings of others were so inacces- sible, and, indeed, unknown to many American entomologists, it has seemed to me that a publication of this index would answer the pur- pose better than a mere catalogue of the species. I therefore offer it in the hope that it may prove as useful to brother entomologists as it has been to me. It is only an index of the species as American species. Many of our species are identical with those of Europe, and I have not attempted to abstract the entomological literature of Europe as to these species. As to the European literature of the subject (American Tmeina), I have not attempted to bring it down to a later period than the latter part of the year 1875. For, having been absent in Colorado during the greater part of the time, it was impossible to keep au courant with it ; and if any European publications have been made since that time they are unknown to me. A letter from a gentleman in Europe, received by me in 1875, informed me that Professor Frey was then engaged upon a work on American Tineina, but if it has been published I have not learned the fact. So far as American publications are concerned, the index is brought down to November, 1877, with references, also, to vol- ume 10 of the Canadian Entomologist (1878), which will contain notes already prepared upon some species. There are also references to spe- cies described upon previous pages of this volume. These references are simply to the volume, not to the page. Professors Zeller and Frey have described many of our species in various European publications. Usually (always!), however, these pa- 125 126 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. pers have been issued in a separate form, with different paging from that of the volumes in which they were originally published. In such cases, these separate publications will be more accessible to American students than the original publications, and I have, therefore, in the index used the paging as given in the separate papers instead of that of the volumes. For the convenience of any who may not have Mr. Stainton's valuable republication of Dr. Clemens's papers, I have also given references to the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and those of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, in which his papers were originally published. It has unfortunately so happened that Professors Zeller and Prey and I have been engaged in the study of the group at the same time, and each to a great extent in ignorance of what the other was doing, and the necessary result has been a confusion of the synonymy of some of the species. This I have corrected so far as I have been able from the descriptions and figures given by them ; but doubtless a comparison of specimens would reveal other cases in which the same species has been more than ouce described under different names. The genus Gelechia is in a chaotic condition. It includes almost any- thing of a certain general type of structure. Many attempts have been made to subdivide it, but, to my mind, they are all unsatisfactory. I have also, myself, sometimes attempted to define new subgroups in the genus, but my own efforts in this direction are not more satisfactory than those of others; and while I have given them in their proper place in the alphabetical arrangement, in italics, I have included all, or by far the greater part of them, under Gelechia. I have pursued, also, the same course with the genus Lanenia, which, though not inconveniently large, is not much better limited than Gelechia. By some mischance or other, I have seldom been able to look over the proof sheets of papers heretofore published by me on the Timiiia, scarcely a dozen proof sheets having been examined by me. Owing to this fact, and to careless writing also, no doubt the names of species described or referred to by me are frequently incorrect, the same name sometimes appearing under two or three different forms. In the following index I have attempted to correct these errors so far as it may be done, and the names herein given are those that were in- tended originally in such cases. The imperfections of this work are many, no doubt, and are perhaps more evident to me than to any one else. Nevertheless, I hope it will answer sufficiently well for a present index, and for the basis of a more perfect catalogue hereafter. Many of the generic names originally given by the authors, such as Aspidisca, Blepharocera, Phaiusay Wilsonia, and others, are preoccupied, and will have to be changed. I have not, however, made any of these changes in this work, which purports to be nothing more than an "index" to what has already been published.

The following is intended as a catalogue of plants whieb are fed upon by tbe Tlneina within the limits of the United States and Canada so far as they are at present known. Tbe bestdeseri[)tions of these insects may fail to enable one to identify captured species, when, as frequently happens, two or three minute spe- cies differ only in a shade of color, or in the presence or absence of a mark of microscopic dimensions; but when the larvce, food-plants, and modes of larval and pupal life, with the character of the mines in mining species, are known, there need be little difficulty in recognizing bred specimens. With knowledge of an insect in these particulars, even a very imperfect description of the imago will usually enable us to recog- nize a species which has been bred from the larva, for although two species may resemble each other so closely that even the best written description may not enable us to determine which of the two it is, yet it will be a very rare occurrence that this close resemblance will hold good throughout its history as larva and pupa, including its food-plant, mode of feeding, larval case, or mine, or burrow, or mode of sewing or folding leaves, mode of pupation, cocoons, &c. The case is very rare that in all these respects two species approach each other so clo ely that nothing distinctive .and clearly marked is left of either. Yet, rare as they are, cases do sometimes occur where we are still left in doubt as to the distinct specific characters even of bred specimens, as, for instance, it may yet be considered doubtful whether Aspidisca splen- dorifuella Clem., A. juglandklla Cham., A. diospyriclla Cham., and the species mentioned by Mr. Stainton as having been louud by Lord Wal- singham mining Poplar leaves in Oregon, are distinct species, the chief reason for considering them distinct being the difference in food, it bt'iug a very unusual thing to find one of these little leaf-mining species feeding on so many and diverse plants. As to a great majority of the species, we are ignorant what they feed upon or whether they feed at all in tbe imago. With the exception of half a dozen species mentioned hereinafter, I have never seen any of these little species feeding upon anything except in tbe larval state. It is to aid in tbe identification of species that this catalogue has been prepared. A species having been bred, and the food-plant thus known, and its characters as larva or pupa, and its mode of feeding, 107 / // y / 108 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. character of mine, &c., having been noted, and, better still, if it be recognized as belonging to any established genus, a reference to the catalogue will giv^e the names of the species known to feed upon that plant; and a reference to the published accounts of those species will usually enable one to determine whether the species is new, or to recog- nize it if already made known. When only the larva is known, that fact is distinctly stated; when the food of the imago is known, that also is distinctly stated. In all other cases, the remarks refer to the food-plants of larvae of which the imago also is known ; and when the larva is a leaf-miner, the surface (upper or lower) mined is stated. MAGNOLIACE^. Magnolia umbrella (and probably some other Magnolias). The larva of Phyllocnistis magnoUceella Cham, makes a long, winding, linear, mine on either surface of the leaves. The imago is unknown, and it m;iy prove to be P. Unodendronella Clem. LlRIODENDRON TULIPIFERA. Tulip-treC.

V.-INDEX TO THE DESCRIBED TINEINA OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. By V. T. Chambers. Having, in the last ten years, described a Ifirge number of new species of the Tineina, with notes on many other species previously known in various seientitic periodicals, and the notes and descriptions referred to' being, therefore, scattered through various volumes, I have been urged by other entomologists to catalogue the species. Many other species had been previously described by other authors, whose publications were equally scattered and inaccessible with my own, so that, for my own convenience in the study of the group, I had prepared an index for ready reference to the species, and that index needed but little alteration to make it complete, so far as I am acquainted with the species. Convinced that a catalogue of my own species only would be of but little service to students, while the writings of others were so inacces- sible, and, indeed, unknown to many American entomologists, it has seemed to me that a publication of this index would answer the pur- pose better than a mere catalogue of the species. I therefore offer it in the hope that it may prove as useful to brother entomologists as it has been to me. It is only an index of the species as American species. Many of our species are identical with those of Europe, and I have not attempted to abstract the entomological literature of Europe as to these species. As to the European literature of the subject ( American Tuieina), 1 have not attempted to bring it down to a later period than the latter part of the year 1875. For, having been absent in Colorado during the greater part of the time, it was impossible to keep au courant with it ; and if any European publications have been made since that time they are unknown to me. A letter from a gentleman in Europe, received by me in 1875, informed me that Professor Frey was then engaged upon a work on American Tineina, but if it has been published I have not learned the fact. So far as American publications are concerned, the index is brought down to November, 1877, with references, also, to vol- ume 10 of the Canadian Entomologist (1878), which will contain notes already prepared upon some species. There are also references to spe- cies described upon previous pages of this volume. These references are simply to the volume, not to the page. Professors Zeller and Frey have described many of our species in various European publications. Usually (always?), however, these pa- 125 / J>1 O 126 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. pers have been issaed in a separate form, with different paging from that of the volumes in which they were originally published. In such cases, these separate publications will be more accessible to American students than the original publications, and I have, therefore, in the index used the paging as given in the separate papers instead of that of the volumes. For the convenience of any who may not have Mr. Stainton's valuable republication of Dr. Clemens's papers, I have also given references to the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and those of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, in which his papers were originally published. It has unfortunately so happened that Professors Zeller and Frey and • I have been eogaged in the study of the group at the same time, and each to a great extent in ignorance of what the other was doing, and the necessary result has been a confusion of the synonymy of some of the species. This I have corrected so far as I have been able from the descriptions and figures given by them ; but doubtless a comparison of specimens would reveal other cases in which the same species has been more than once described under different names. The genus Gelechia is In a chaotic condition. It includes almost any- thing of a certain general type of structure. Many attempts have been made to subdivide it, but, to my mind, they are all unsatisfactory. I liave also, myself, sometimes attempted to define new subgroups in the genus, but my own efforts in this direction are not more satisfactory than those of others; and while I have given them in their proper place in the alphabetical arrangement, in italics, I have included all, or by far the greater part of them, und<'r Gelechia. I have pursued, also, the same course with the genus Lavenia, which, though not inconveniently large, is not much better limited than Gelechia. By some mischance or other, I have seldom been able to look over the proof-sheets of papers heretofore published by me on the Tincina, scarcely a dozen proof-sheets having been examined by me. Owing to this fact, and to careless writing also, no doubt the names of species described or referred to by me are frequently incorrect, the same name sometimes appearing under two or three different forms. In the following index I have attempted to correct these errors so far as it may be done, and the names herein given are those that were in- tended originally in such cases. The imperfections of this work are many, no doubt, and are perhaps more evident to me than to any one else. Nevertheless, I hope it will answer sufficiently well for a present index, and for the basis of a more perfect catalogue hereafter. Many of the generic names originally given by the authors, such as Aspidisca, Blepharocera, Fhwtusa, Wilsonia, and others, are preoccupied, and will have to be changed. I have not, however, made any of these changes in this work, which purports to be nothing more than an "index" to what has already been published.

VI -THE TINEINA OF COLORADO. By V. T. Chambeks. Descriptions aud notes of many of these species have heretofore beeii published in the Cincinnati Quarterl}^ Journal of Science, and in the Cana- dian Entomologist. It has, however, been deemed best to give a list of the species, with brief notes upon them, in the present paper, which, with the new species now first described, presents a compendium of all that has been published upon the subject to this time. Pronuha yuccascUa Eilej.— Very abundant in the flow^ers of " soap- weed "( Twccft ) as high up on the mountains as, 7, 000 feet, in the vicinity of Colorado Springs. Mr. Riley says (Fifth Annual Report iSToxious and Beneficial Insects of Missouri, p. 151), "Front wings uniformly silvery white", but at least half of the numerous specimens observed by me in Colorado had the wings more or less spotted with black (like Hyponomeufa, to which in the form and neuration of the wings it seems somewhat allied, though its afiSuities seem to be rather with the true Tineldiv; it is, however, sui generis). These spots vary in number from 0 to 13, and when all are present are arranged as follows : one (the larg- est) at the end of the disk, with three others before it, making a cof- fin-shaped figure; one on the dorsal margin before the cilia; and eight others around the apes. The one at the end of the cell is found oftener than any of the others, and those around the apex oftener than the other four. The expanse of wings is given by Mr. Riley at 1.00 inch for the 9 aud 0.90 inch for the S . The largest $ specimen observed by me scarcely exceeded 10 lines and the smallest S was scarcely 6 lines, so that it seems to attain a greater development of wings in the East than in the West, contrary to the rule said by Prof. Baird, Dr. Packard, and others to ])revail among other insects and birds. A large proportion of the seed-pods examined by me, fully one-third,, showed no trace of the larva. Anesychia miniseUa Cham. (Can. Eut., vol. vi, p. 233). — First described from Texas, from numerous specimens, all of which seem to have been somewhat faded, or are a little different from the Colorado specimens.. In these, the outer surface of the second joint of the palpi is dark- brown, the inner surface white; third joint white, with the tip aud a wide annulusiu the middle brown; antennic fuscous ; head, thorax above > and patagia white; a brown spot on the middle of the anterior margin of the thorax, and four others, two on each side, one of them about the 121 122 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. middle and the other before the tip; costal margin and dorsal half of the fore wings white; a wide browuish-ocherous basal streak occupying the remaining i^ortion of the wing from base to tip. In the white of the dorsal margin before the middle is a small brown spot, and there are some others extending around the apex, four of them on the dorsal, three on the costal side; cilia white; hind wings and cilia pale fuscous; •iibdomen stramineous; anal tuft .yellow; legs sordid grayish- white. Ex- pause of wings, li inch. Edgerton, among oaks: altitude, 6,500 feet. A. discostrigella n. sp. — Allied to the preceding species, but having the fore wing of nearly the same general color with the wide basal streak of that species, and the margins not white; this color may perhaps be called a purplish-gray, with a slight ocherous tinge in this species, and it is sprinkled with white. The scales are fine. A white streak extends along" the fold, and contains three blackish streaks, the first near the base, the last about the middle. Above the fold is a narrow, wavy, blackish line, margined with white, ending, at the end of the cell, in a distinct blackish spot, beneath which is- a white spot, margined behind by another small black spot, and a row of black spots around the base of the cilia, which are white. Head and upper surface of thorax white, with a black spot on the anterior margin of the thorax, a small one on each of the patagia, and two others (one about the middle, and before the tip on each side of the thorax); antenntewith alternate anuulatious of white and black, the white prevailing in the basal and the black in the apical portions; imlpi white, the second joint dusted externally with black, with a black annulus near the tip, and the tip of the third joint blackish; abdomen and anal tuft ocherous-yellow ; legs blackish on the anterior, and ocherous-yellow on the hinder surface. Expanse of wings, 1 inch. Edgerton, among oaks; altitude, G,oOO feet. To the naked eye, the fore wings appear of a watery-gray or leaden hue, with a roAV of white spots along the middlej each margined by one or two smaller blackish spots, and a row of black spots around the apex. li'othris ? himaculella n. sp. — Third joint of palpi slender and much longer than the second, pointed ; second joint with a brush, as in N. rerbascella; hind wings trapezoidal, wide, not incised beneath the tip. Pale creamy-yellow, with a silky luster, with a minute brown spot on the fold and one at the end of the cell ; outer surface of the second joint of palpi fuscous. Expanse of wings, 8 lines. Edgerton, in June. Earpalyee tortricella Cham. (Can. Ent., vol. vi, p. 235). — A single dam- aged specimen was taken among scrub-oaks. I am convinced, however, that it is identical with the Texas species. This generic name, of course, cannot stand. How I came to overlook the fact that it was preoccupied among Geometridce, by Stephens, need not now be explained. Flutclla cntciferaruni Auct. — Captured on Berthoud's Pass. Altitude about 11,500 feet. CHAMBERS ON TINEINA OF COLORADO. 123 Gclcchlasi'n-afipaJpt'Ila u. sp.— From the peculiar structure of the palpi, tiiis species will probably be excluded from the true Gelechia ; tbey re- semble tliose of G. gaU(xsolidagi7m Ri\ey, exce\n that the scales aloug the lower edse or surface are arranged like the teeth of a saw, more especially those of the secoud joint, as in galla'solidaginis, both the second and third joints are laterally compressed, the third joint having a blade like form. In this species, the tip of the third joint projects as a minute point beyond the scales. Hind wings sharply emarginate be- neath the tip, and again a little so behind the anal angle (that is, there is a slight projection, or tooth, between the tip and the anal angle, and another very little one at the anal angle). Both pairs of wings rather narrow. Palpi, head, thorax, and antennae gray (under a lens of higher power they appear pale-gray, dusted with brown), with one or two faintly-indicated pale gray annuli on the palpi, and the antenute are alternately annulate with pale gray and brown. Fore wings pale orange-yellow, the base and the dorsal margin to and around the apex gray ; cilia of the costal margin and the extreme costal margin to the base also gray; base of the cilia dusted with brown, and the orange- yellow of the apical part of the wings is also sparsely dusted with brown. At the base of the wing, the gray portion is externally margined with brown, and the gray of the hind margin sends three small projections, or teeth, into the yellow. One of these projections is beneath the fold before the middle of the wing-length ; the others are above the fold, one of them about the middle of the wing-length, and the other a little far- ther back. Each of these projections is tipped with brown scales, and immediately behind the last one the usual costal and dorsal spots, the dorsal being the largest, are indicated by a paler gray than that of the surrounding portion of the wing. In the cilia, at the apex of the wing, is a small brown spot, and there are one or tuo others before it in the costal cilia. Hind wings pale leaden-gray, with pale stramineous cilia. Legs and abdomen gray, the tarsi annulate with white. Lower surface of abdomen pale-gray : anal tuft white. Expanse of wings, 7^ lines. Edgerton, in July. G. pedmontclla n. sp. — Eesembles the preceding species somewhat structurally and slightly in the pattern of ornamentation. Palpi but little compressed laterally ; third joint not blade-like, but with the point projecting, as in the preceding species ; second joint serrated, but less distinctly so than in serratiiyalpella. Both pair of wings rather narrow, the hind pair sharply emarginate beneath the apex, but the margin not toothed. Palpi dark reddish-brown, marked with white, especially along the upper and inner surface of the second joint, and forming an indistinct annulus on the third joint. Head, upper surface of thorax, and the antenna^ rich brown. Fore wings red-brown or maroon color, sparsely dusted with dark-brown on the disk, but densely so along the margins, especially in the apical part of the wing, where brown is the prevailing hue and is dusted with white ; cilia of the hind margin of a 124 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. pale smoky hue. Hiud wings pale leadeu-gray, with stramineoas cilia; abdomen above of the same hue with the fore wiugs, but paler, and the under surface gray and reddish-brown mixed ; anal tuft silvery-gray ; legs and tarsi dark reddish-brown or brown, the tarsi annulate with white. Expanse of wings, -^'^ inch. Edgerton, June. G. (jlycyrUzKella n. sp.— I hesitate about giving this species this spe- cific name, because of some doubt whether it really feeds on Glijcyrlilza Jepidota, although it — a single specimen — and only it, came from a col- lection of leaves of that plant, with larvse of a GelecUa feeding on them. The larv;e and their mode of feeding seemed to me to be identical with others feeding on an allied plant, AmorpJia fniticosa, and from which I bred the very different species described (post) as G. amorpha'cUa. In ornamentation, this species resembles that just described {G. ped- montella), but is paler, larger, and with wider wings, and the palpi are very different, not being at all compressed or serrated ; the second joint is brush-like and longer than the third ; hind wings emarginate beneath the apex. Second joint ocherous, paler on the inner side, brownish on the outer surface ; third joint brown, with a whitish line along the inner surface; head ocherous, each scale tipped with blackish; antennic brown ; upper surface of thorax and fore wings yellowish-ocherous, the wings dusted densely with brown and somewhat with white along both margins, the dusted portion on the dorsal margin wider than that on the costal margin ; cilia whitish or pale ocherous, dusted with fuscous, the dusting forming three hinder marginal lines, one before and one behind the mid- dle of the cilia, and a fainter one at the tip ; hind wiugs of a pale leaden hue, with pale stramineous cilia. Upper surface of abdomen and anal ruft ocherous, the under surface of the abdomen ocherous, dusted with fuscous, as are also the legs and tarsi. Expanse of wings, 8 lines. Ed- gerton, July and August. G. amorpluveUa n. sp.— Bred from larv;e sewing together the termina- leaves of young specimens oi Amorplia fniticosa, and, as stated above, supposed to be the same larva found feeding in the same way on Glycj) rhiza lepidota. It may therefore turn out, either that these four speci- mens did not come from the larva feeding on Amorpha, or that the species described above did not come from the larva on Glyeyrliiza. Second joint of the palpi brush-like; hind wings slightly emarginate. Dark steel-gray, with two minute darker spots, one on the disk, the other at the end of the cell ; under surface of abdomen yellowish. Ex- panse of wings, ^ lines. Edgerton, July and August. Xrtrra.— Head and next segment pale straw-color, the hind margin of the first segment brown, and with two small black spots on top of each of the first three or four segments ; five longitudinal pale purplish stripes beginning on the second segment. It becomes bright pinkish-red be- fore becoming a pupa. A captured specimen which I believe belongs to this species has the head and palpi paler than the thorax.

Expanse of wings, Ci lines. Monument Park, June. G. triUneeUa n. sp. — Second joint of the palpi with a divided brush, the scales of the brush longest at the base and gradually shortening to the apex; third joint rather slender, pointed, and about as long as the second. Hind wings excised beneath the tip. Gray[; face and inner surface of palpi pale or whitish-gray; thorax gray, with a narrow line along its middle, and one at the patagia darker gray. Upper surface of the fore wings suffused Avith whitish-gray, with three short black streaks, one of which is about the middle of the fold, another (sometimes this one is inter- rupted) about the middle of the disk, and one at the end of it; sometimes this latter one s absent. At about the apical third of the wing-length is a dark spot or streak of irregular form and not very definitely outlined, and behind it an augulated fascia, formed by the usual opposite costal and dorsal spots touching or nearly touching each other, Is indicated by a paler or whitish-gray portion of the wing ; it is much more distinct in some specimens than in others ; behind it, nearly to the apex, the wing is darker than before it, but becomes whitish again around the apex, with an indistinct dark spot at the apex. Cilia gray, with a dark hinder marginal line at their base, and dusted with dark scales. In some spec- imens, the courses of the veins beyond the cell in the dark apical por- tion are indistinctly marked by still darker lines. Scarcely any two specimens are alike in the marks on the wings, some being much darker than others ; some have a distinct fascia, nearly straight ; in others, it is angulated, or not distinct, and in some only traces of the opposite cos- tal and dorsal spots are visible, and in some the hinder marginal line is not distinct from the dusting of the cilia. In all my specimens, however, the black longitudinal lines on the fold and disk are distinct. Hind wings ])ale fuscous or smoky, with pale stramineous cilia ; abdomen pale yellowish above, pale gray dusted with darker scales beneath ; legs gray ; tarsi annulate with white.

G. ? anarsieJJa n. sj). — This species, which is quite common about Edgerton in June and July, has very much the appearance of an Anarsia, though the brush of the second joint of the palpi scarcely projects enough in front, being almost exactly as in G. oceUella (supra). Eight specimens before me are all 9 . I have not seen the male. The antenn;e are slender and not denticulated. The neuration of the hind wings is the same withMr. Stainton's figure (Ins. Brit., v. iii) of that of G.rufescens, except that in this species the cell is closed ; that of the fore wings is identical with Notliris verhasceUa. A worn specimen of this species (?) was also taken at Twin Lakes, altitude 10,000 feet. The hind wings are sharply emarginate beneath the tip. Dark steel- gray except a whitish spot on the second joint of the palpi ; white anuulations on the tarsi and two or three microscopic whitish specks or white scales scattered over the wings, and the cilia are pale-gray, dusted with dark gray or blackish scales. Hind wings of a bluish smoky hue, with paler cilia. Expanse of wiugs, 7i lines. G. OGhreostrigellan. sp. — Palpi robust, not very long, with the scales of the second joint divided beneath, but scarcely forming a brush ; third joint with the tip suddenly sharpened ; hind wings emarginate beneath the tip. Several attempts to describe this species without looking at the pre- vious trials have each given a different account of the wings. Under a strong lens, the color appears to be hoary, almost white, but so densely dusted with brownish as to obscure the ground-color, and s'treaked with ocherous ; under a lower power, it appears pale grayish, tinged with ocherous, and with the ocherous streaks still distinct, and with some short blackish streaks; while to the naked eye it appears very pale gray, tinged with ocherous.

Oo the fore wing are three ocellated spots, one ou the disk, one at the end of the disk, and one ou the fold ; they are ocherous, with a brown pupil ; a small ocherous basal streak near to the costal margin ; hind wings pale grayish, with a slight fuscous tinge ; legs and under surface of the body whitish, densely dusted with gray-brown. Expanse of wiugs, ^ inch. The ocellated spots on the fore wings are indistinct to the naked eye. It is the most common •' micro " about Edgerton in June. G. concinnisella Cham. — Formerly described from Texas (Cin. Quar. Jour., vol. ii, p. 253). By some mistake the alar expanse is there stated to be 3-lGth inch; it should be 9-16th. It may prove to be identical with G. apicisir'Kjella Cham, from Kentucky, but I think not. Apicistrigella is silvery white, suffused with pale yellowish, while this species has the fore wings suffused with fuscous, especially the apical half, but it is white at the apex, while apicistrigella has the apex suffused with reddish - ocherous. In apicistrigeira there are three short white costal streaks following the long oblique one; in this specimen there are only two, which are scarcely visible (owing to denudation ? ) in the Texas speci- mens. The "apical spot, or dash ", is just within the dorsal margin, not strictly at the apex, and margins posteriorly the white of the apex. Ed- gerton, June. 128 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Larvfv of Gelechia. — Several larvx of this species were met with which I did not succeed in rearing to the imago. One of these feeds on the leaves of Thennopsis montana, sewing manj' of them together in a bunch. It is pale greenish-white, head stramineous, next segment pale stramineous, and has five greenish-yellow or sometimes almost reddish longitudinal stripes extending over the other segments. Another when very small mines, and when older sews together, leaves of Phijsalia viscosa. It has the head and next segment piceous, and on each of the other segments six minute black spots (two behind the other four), and in the latter part of June is one-fourth inch long. Young specimens scarcely show the black spots. It is at first pale green- ish, then becomes bright apple-green, and when full grown the head and upper surface of the next segment are ferrugineous, divided on the segment into two spots, that segment and the next one being bright ap- ple-green and the remaining segments purple. I have little doubt that it is the larva of G. physaliella Cham., heretofore described from Ken - tucky. Another feeds on oak-leaves. Head and next segment reddish stra- mineous or pale ferrugineous. Next three segments green, remainder CHAMBERS ON TINEINA OF COLORADO. 129 yellowish-white, four small black spots ou each segiiieiit, and six lon- gitiuliual purplish lines. Another was taken at the highest altitude at which any Lepidop- terous larva was observed ; that is, at an altitude of nearly 12,000 feet. The timber-line on Mount Elbert, where this larva was found, is given by Ilaydeii (Report, 1873) as 11,871, but the dwarfed and stunted wil- lows usually extend along the courses of the little rivulets some feet higher than timber-line as popularly understood (that is, the limit of growth of trees — pines and aspens). Feeding on the leaves of these dwarfed willows, and sewing them together in little bundles, I found this larva, but, unfortunately, did not succeed in reariug it (one pupa still living may produce an imago next spring). It is at hrst green, but as the larva gets older it becomes dark olive-green, with the black tuber- cular spots placed 4-2. Head and upper surface of nest segment black. It attains about one-half inch in length. Another larva sews together leaves of aspens, and is found up to the extreme limit of the growth of that tree. The head and thorax are dark brown, the other segments purplish-brown, with black tubercular spots placed as iu the last species {supra), and with six longitudinal white lines extending over the other segments ; length over two-thirds of an inch. Another, or probably a younger stage of the same larva, has the head and next segment pale stramineous and the other segments paler. Another, found also sewmg together aspen-leaves, but possibly the larva of a Tortrix, is greenish-white, with a spot on each side of each seg- ment piceous; length, three-fourths of an inch.

As a mere object of beauty for the low powers of the microscope (say 5 to 10 diameters), it is almost unrivaled. It is also interesting structurally, for its relation to four other genera of GhjpJdptenjgidw, being about equally related to GhjpMpteryx, JEchmia, Ferittia, and Tinagma.

Hind wings, cilia, and upper surface of the abdomen pale grayish ; under surface of the wings grayish-fuscous, and tuft whitish ; legs whitish, the tarsi stained with yellowish. Expanse of wings, 7 lines. Among scrub-oaks at Edgerton in July. A. quercicoJeUa n. sp. — Palpi, head, thorax, and antennjB white, the antennce dusted with brown. Fore wings pale safiron-yellow (in some lights pale golden), with the basal fourth of the dorsal margin white, terminating in an oblique white dorsal streak, which crosses the fold 5 there is also a basal white streak, which extends along the fold to the dorsal oblique streak, so that with the white of the dorsal margin it incloses a basal streak of the pale saffron hue between the fold and the dorsal margin ; the oblique dorsal streak is dark-margined both before and behind. The basal white streak along the margi^j is sometimes faintly dark- margined internally, and the one along the fold is sometimes dark- margined on both sides. Behind the middle of the wing is an oblique, white fascia, which is nearest to the base on the dorsal margin, and is dark-margined both before and behind ; the space before it as far as the dorsal oblique streak is suffused with fuscous, and the costal half of the fascia is sometimes dusted with fuscous. The apical part of the wing is rather densely dusted with fuscous, and has two small white costal spots, and a dorsal one pla6ed opposite to the lirst of the two, giving the appearance of a fascia, the middle of which is dusted with fuscous. Sometimes all these spots are small and inconspicuous, and the apical half of the wing is dusted with white and fuscous intermixed. Cilia pale fuscous, with the tips and a hinder marginal line at the base dark brown. Hind wings pale fuscous ; both fore and hind wings dark fuscous beneath. Under surface of the body white ; legs yellowish- white ; upper surface of abdomen pale fuscous, with a bluish tinge. Expanse of wings, 5 lines.

Head and appendages white, the antenme annulate with brown; thorax white; fore wings grayish-brown above the fold, white beneath it, the white sparsely sprinkled with grayish-brown, but in the apical pa,rt of the wing the grayish-brown is densely dusted with white ; about the middle of the dorsal margin, the white is interrupted by a slightly oblique brown, nearly square spot, which extends to the fold, and is faintly out- lined by whitish margins across the fold as far as the middle of the wing; there are three or four very indistinct whitish costal streaks in the apical part of the wing, scarcely distinguishable from the white dust- ing of that portion. A brown streak extends around the apex at the base of the cilia, interrupted by two small white spots on the dorsal margin, and by one on the costal margin, and with another one before it. (Perhaps it would be as correct to say that a row of alternate brown and white spots extends around the base of the cilia, becoming fainter the farther we liroceed away from the apex.)

I have found it abundant in the mountains among willows and alders, and one specimen was taken among willows on the side of Mount Elbert at an altitude of about 11,000 feet. A. gwdarteJla feeds in Europe on birch, and it is possible that the American insects which I have placed in the spe- cies may belong to a new species closely allied to fjoedarfella, or it may be a mere variety of anduegieUa.

In all my specimens there is a short basal streak slightly diverging from the costa, and the second fascia is produced along the middle of the apical part of the wing nearly to the apex, where it is furcate, one branch going to each margin, and both branches connected by a distinct golden-brown hinder marginal line around the base of the cilia, which are tipped with golden brown. The first fascia is dark-margined on each side, the vertex is white, and the face and palpi are pale yellow- 132 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. ish. lu these respects they seem to differ from Mr. Staiutou's descrip- tion of anduegiella aud from Dr. Olemens's description of orcasella, which Mr. Stainton says is the same species; but I have little doubt they belong to that species, though the absence of apple and thorn bushes, on which andttegi ella feeds, from that region, and the fact that these specimens were found among oaks, might suggest a doubt. Gracilaria ahiivoreUa Cham . (Ciu. Quar. Jour. Sci., vol. ii, p. 298) ; G alnicolcUa Cham. (Cin. Quar. Jour.

G. r'lbesella Cham. — This species is known only in the larval condi- tion. It folds the leaves of the red wil d currant so that the folded leaf resembles exactly one folded by GelecJiia rihesclla. G. tlicrmopseUa Cham. (Cin. Quar. Jour., loc. cit.). — The larva mines leaves of Thermo])sis montana. The mine is like that of G. {Parectopa) rohinicUa Clem., which the imago resembles. The relationship of this species to G. hosquella Cham., G. (Parectopa) rohiniella Clem., and G. {Parectopa) lespidegwfoUella Clem., affords a parallel to that of LifJiocolletis rohiniella Clem., L. ampMcarjwoeella Cham., L. mnorvhcvella Cham., aud L. texana Zell., mentioned on a subsequent page. In each genus, four very closely allied species are found feeding on allied genera of Letjumlnoscc. The species of each genus are closely allied, not only structurally and in ornamentation, but in larval habits and the character of mines made by the larvne in the leaves. The resemblance in ornamentation, however, is perhaps scarcely so close between the four Gracilariw as between the four species of Litlwcolletis (vide post, Lithocolletis amorphccella, &c.). Corisccum, sp. indet. — Fifteen mines and larvfe of a species of this genus were met with in Cheyenne Canon, but all died after spinning their cocoons. They were found upon a single bush of scrub-oak. The mine is on the itpjier surface, and is a Jac simile of that made by G. alhanotclla Cham, on the under surface of white oaks in Kentucky. It is, however, a different species, I think. Corisceum may be considered as a Gracilaria with tufted palpi. Orjitr.— This genus is also very closely allied to Gracilaria, differing from it mainly in its plainer colors and tufted vertex. CHAMBERS ON TINEINA OF COLORADA. 133 0. prunii'oreUa Cham. (Can.

Second joint of palpi white, marked with blackish scales on the outer surface ; third joint with a blackish line beneath. Head whitish ; antennie and upper surface of thorax sordid grayish or pale fuscous ; patagia and margins of thorax whitish. Fore wings pale egg-yellow, with a white streak from the base along the fold to. the basal third of the wing-length ; then leaving the fold, it passes back- ward above it as far as the end of the cell, the basal portion along the fold being margined beneath by a narrow brown line, and containing a small dark brown spot just before its end. The fore wings are narrowly margined along both the costal and dorsal margins from base to apex with white, the basal half of the white margins be'ing narrowly mar- gined internally by a line of brown scales, and the apical half by a series of brown dots or short lines. Hind wings pale grayish-fuscous ; cilia of both wings pale stramineous. Abdomen brow^n above, whit- ish beneath, and tuft whitish. Hind legs yellowish, with tibia pale egg-yellow, and tarsi white.

Bairacliedra chmensella n. sp.?— Six specimens (2^4$) taken at Colorado Springs in June differ so much from two others (1 as^cera), recurved, overarching the vertex; tongueof moderate length and scaled; antennfe not reaching the tips of the wings by about one- third of the length of the latter, with the basal joint a little thicker than the stalk, which is slender and rather densely clothed in the male with long cilia (longer than in Da&ycera and more thickly) ; forehead rounded ; face but little retreating; head smooth. Cilia of both pairs of wings rather long. Fore wings broadly lanceolate. (Having but a single specimen, one fore wing of which was ruined in denuding it, and not wishing to injure the other, I can give no satisfactory account of its neu- ration.) Iliud wing narrower than fore wing, lanceolate, more elongate in proportion to width than in Dasycera.

ArticuUitious of the tarsi whitish. Ex- pause of wings, 7^ lines. Dasiiccm newnianella Clem., to which this species is structurally allied, and Hamadnjas neicmanella Clem., which is still more closely allied to Dasycera than this species, are found from Texas to Kew England, but not as yet in Colorado. The separation of Bassettella from Basycera as a new genus is perhaps questionable, and the generic uiime Hamadryas has also been given to an Australian genus of butterflies. Besides the species above mentioned, this little collection also con- tains a specimen of Tinea (sp.?) and two other Tineina, all too much iujured for recognition or description. Two only of the thirteen recog- nizable species are new, but four others are new to Colorado, three of the four having been heretofore found in Texas, and the fourth both in Texas and in Kentucky. All of these four were taken north of " the divide" in Colorado, and three of them at an altitude of about 8,000 feet near the Snowy Eauge, and where frost and snow are not infrequent in August. It is true that both Texas and Colorado are included by Mr. Wallace in one subdivision of the S'earctic Region. But one would scarcely expect such a division to hold good in such a group as the Tineina. whose distribution is governed more perhaps than any other insects by that of particular plant-species. On the contrary, I had expected to find the species of the high plains and cold mountain- regions in latitude SS^* to 40'^ approximating those of British America and the Northern United States in latitude 44^, rather than those of even the Ohio Valley, latitude 39^, or those of the Texas prairies, lati- tude 32^. Possibly this may yet prove to be the case when we are better acquainted with the species of Canada and New England. But so far as we can now determine, the Tineina of Colorado are to a much greater extent allied to those of Texas than to those of Canada or even of the Ohio Valley. Mr. Wallace suggests that so little is known of the distribution of the N'octuidw and Tineidoi that any study of the subject as to their general distribution over the earth must lead to erroneous conclusions, which is no doubt true. Yet enough is known to establish the fact that the families and many if not most of the leading genera are of very general if not of universal distribution j such genera, for instance, as Bejn-essaria, Gelechia, PluteUa, Blachista, Lavenia, Cosmopteryx, Glyphipteryx, Goleophora, Lithocolletis, Biicculatriv, and others, each of which is represented in all or the greater number of Mr. Wallace's -'regions"'. 10 BULL ART. VIII -ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF TINEINA IN COLORADO. By V. T. Chambers. Dr. Packard meutious, iu Haydeii's lieport for 1873 (p. 548), that Lieu- tenant Carpenter found a Tortrix larva somewbere in the mountains of Colorado, at an altitude of above 12,000 feet, and this seems to have been the onlj' Microlepidopterou seen above timber-line by Lieutenant Carpenter. I do not find that any other species has been recorded from high altitudes in the Eocky Mountains. At an elevation of nearly 1-4,000 feet, I saw a specimen of a Tortrix and two specimens of a Pterophorus, but unfortunately was not able to capture either. This was near the top of Mount Elbert. Argrestliia altissinieUa Cham, was captured on the same mountain at an altitude of about 11,000 feet, and a specimen of A. gcedarteUa ? Auct. was taken at the same place. Flutella cruciferarum was taken, and a specimen of a Coleophora observed but not captured, at about the same elevation, near Ber- thoud's Pass ; and Phyllocnistis ])opuliella Cham, was found in the lar- val state np to the extreme limit of the growth of the aspen, 11,000 feet or more. Larva3 of two species of Gelechia were found as high up, sewing together aspen-leaves; and the larva of another species was found at a higher altitude than any other larva of Tineina, fairly above timber-line as it is generally understood; that is, the limit of the growth of pines; for it sews together the leaves of the stunted willows which creep along the margins of little rivulets for a short distance higher up the mountain-side than the limit of the pines, up in fact to a height of nearly 12,000 feet. But the distribution of the Tineina is governed by that of the vegetation on which they feed. Of butter- flies and the larger moths, each species feeds nsually on a variety of plants, and their distribution is not determined by that of a siugle plant. But the species of Tineina, and especially the leaf-mining Tineina, are usually confined to a siugle food-plant. Comparatively few of them feed on more than a single plant-species; and when a species does feed on more than one species of plant, those on which it feeds are usually closely allied. Of course, there are numerous exceptions, bnt this is the rule, and when the rule prevails the geographical range of the moth is generally determined by that of its food-plant, so that when the plant is not found, of course the moth cannot be ; and where the plant is indig- enous, there the moth will nsually be found with it. To a much greater extent, therefore, than in other Lepidoptera, the distribution of a species 148 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. of Tineina is depeudeut upon that of a single plant-species, aud couse- quently in passing above timber-line Tineina might be expected to become exceedingly rare. In point of fact, I found none except tlie GelccMa larva on vrillows before mentioned, and in all probability tbat species will be found also far below timber-line. Hayden, if I remem- ber aright, gives 11,776 feet as the height of timber-line on Mount Elbert. The Ftero2)horus observed bv me as above stated was probably P. cinercidactylus, which has been taken in the mountains of New Eng- land ; and it is to be regretted that I did not succeed in taking it, so that this fact might have been determined ; aud that it might also be determined whether it differs in size, in relative length of peripheral parts, or in depth or intensity of color, from the ISTew England speci- mens. Dr. Packard's observations {loc. cit.) tend to establish the rule that the western species are larger, with greater relative development of peripheral parts, and greater depth and intensity of color than their eastern congeners; and in view of his observations, and those of Mr. Wollaston and others, on insects of other orders and of other countries, and in consideration of the bright sunlight and prevailing high winds in Colorado, I had expected to find the rule confirmed among the Ti^te- ina, or else to have found a much larger proportion than usual of apterous species, since the bright light would tend to develop color ; and either the absence of the power of flight, or its greatly-increased development, would tend to the protection of species against atmos- pheric influences. But I found nothing to confirm these views. On the contrary, so far as color is concerned, the Tineina of Colorado, and, so far as I have had an opportunity of observing them, those of California likewise, are plainer and more obscurely colored than those of the Mis- sissippi Valley ; and, so far as size and extent of peripheral parts is con- cerned, the individuals, when they belong to species found also in the Mississippi Valley, differ usually in no respect from those found in the latter region ; and when species are allied to eastern species, they do not differ from them more than eastern species differ from each other. Thus the 9 Tinea and allied genera are frequently apterous in the States and in Europe; but I saw only a single Tinea (damaged beyond recognition) in Colorado, and that was not apterous, nor was there any unusual development of the wings or other peripheral parts. Tinea appears to be but poorly represented there. The average size of Fronuha ynccasella Riley, in Colorado, is less than that given for it by Mr. Eiley in Missouri; and it differs from Missouri and Ken- tucky specimens only in the fact that a large number of speci- mens have small black spots on the fore wings. Ryponomeutida' are represented by numerous specimens of two species of Aneaycliia, one of which (A. miruseUa Cham.) is common in Texas; they give no sup- port to the theory. Plutella cruciferanim is, in Mr. Staiutons's lan- guage, "found wherever man eats cabbage", and it appears to be the CHAMBERS ON TINEINA OF COLORADO. 149 same everywhere, or, if it varies, varies in the same way everywhere Gelechia, usually so numerous, both in species and individuals — more so than any other genus of the t'amilj^ — is but poorly represented in the mountains, more numerous in the foot-hills and plains than in the mountains, and seems to be more numerous in southern latitudes, as well as in lower altitudes. The species are usually of plain grayish or brown- ish colors, and present no contrast with their congeners from the East, either in ornament or structure. Glyphqyferygklw are represented by G. montisella Cham, and Litliariapterijx abroniceella Cham., the latter per- haps more brilliantly ornamented than any other species of the family, but neither showing any greater extent of peripheral parts. Holcocera {Blastohasis) giganteUa Cham., however, on the other hand, has cer- tainly a greater expanse of wings — 15^ lines — than any other species of the genus, or perhaps I might say greater than any other species of the Tlneina; but the wings are rather narrow for their length, and unlike all other species of the genus known to me (instead of having a deeper or more brilliant or intense color) it is white. Indeed, it seems to me that if the Tineina of Colorado have any characteristic colorational peculiar- ity, it is that there is perhaps a larger proportion of uncolored species. Argyrestliia and Gracilaria are more numerously represented in Colorado, both by species and individuals, than any other genus, except Gelechia, and their species are decidedly less brilliant, and are plainer than the species of the Mississippi Valley, and where the species are the same they present no peculiarity of either form or color. Coleophora is well represented by characteristic species ; Laverna by a few plain species ; Batrachedra by a species which I believe to be the European j)m'«;«^?e, extended from the dark patch on the costa to the middle of the inner margin and bordered on each side by a non-lustrous leaden stripe. The space between this oblique stripe and the central fascia is sprinkled with brown and somewhat varied dull leaden streaks. At the tip of the wing is a dark brown spot and the costa is geminated with pale ochreous and dotted with dark brown. Cilia russet, dark brown at tip with three brownish spots in the cilia beneath the tip. Hind wings dark fuscous; cilia pale ochreous. Coll. Eut. Sue. Philadelphia. — Virginia. ISG")] 135 Sericoris mutabilana, n. s. — Fore wings reddish-brown, yellowish or pale- ochreou.-i, with roddisli -brown or testaceous-brown markings. The basal pateli is angulated and at the base of the wing, shows the general hue. The central fascia is well marked and on its outer edge in the middle of the wing is a toki.tish discal dot. There is a subterminal fascia extending froin the costa near the tip to the hinder margin above the anal angle. On tiie basal patch and central fascia are short black strias. On each side of the central fascia are spaces, or bands of the general hue, each having a dark brownish line running its middle. The costa is sjjottcd with blackish and geminated with yellowish or pale ochreous. Ill the reddisli-brown spcciincu or variety, the pale interspaces are ochreous on the costa and beneath it, are discolored with reddish. It is scarcely possible, with the specimens before me to distinguish the species from the variety, and I therefore forbear to make a conjec- ture. The description has been written so as to include all the varia- tions of hue. Coll. Eut. Soc. Philadelphia. — Virginia. Sericoris instrutana, n. s. This specimen may be a mere variation of fasciatana. The orna- mentation of the wings is very similar, as well as the color, but the size of the specimen is much less. The whitish spaces on each side of the central fascia is more tinted with ochreous than in fasciattma. The outer margin of the basal patch shows two indentations and a central tooth or projection, while in fus- ciafaiia the outer margin is nearly straight or slightly curved. The central fascia is very narrow on the costa, dilating in the middle of the wing, its exterior margin bulging outwards and is somewhat interrupted near the inner margin of the wing ; in fasciatana it is broad and dif- fuse on the costa. In (Nsfi-ufaiKC the markings of the wings are pui'e dark brown, m fasciatana they are testaceous brown. Coll. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia. — Virginia. Sericoris foedana, n. s.

Fore wings luteous with brown markings. The basal patch is deeply divided and forms three patches, the smallest of which is near the costa and is separated from the other parts. The central fascia is brown and is likewise divided into three parts, each of which is narrowly mar- gined with dull bluish edging. The oblique streak from the hinder margin is brown and edged on both sides with dull-bluish. 136 [September It may be that /(je.dana, condnnana and permunrJana really consti- tute but one species. This must be determined in the future. Coll. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia. — Virginia. Sericoris versicolorana, Clem. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei., Aug. 1S60, p. 3.')7. This species, which is ordinarily distinguished by the white or yel- lowish-white costa at the base of the wing and the white space towards the hinder margin of the winff, is represented by a specimen in the Society's Collection, in which all the white is replaced by pale testace- ous having iu certain lights a dull bluish lustre. I think it is not necessary to describe it as a distinct species, as to my mind it is evi- dently a variation. Doubtless too many species have been created out of the materinl that has been before me, but I have been governed entirely by a wish to notice clearly all the diiferences in individuals belonging to this trroup. and not by a desire to multiply descriptions L0Z0T.S:NIA, Stephens.

PhilaJ., March 1862, p. 149. Id. Nov. 1861, p. 82. Id. Jan. 1862, p. 133. Since the foregoing pages were written, I have been successful in rearing iV. saginrJln from leaves of oaks, collected during the latter part of July; and I am therefore able to say definitely, that while the neptieuliform mines in the leaves of the chestnut mo}/ be produced by the larva of BuccuJafrix t)-i/ascir//a, those in the leaves of oaks are certainly the work of a Nepticula miner. The mines in chestnut leaves are shorther than those on oak leaves, although very similar in appearance. The following is a table of the species described to the present time. Fore wings without spots or iasciae. Pale ochreous, dusted with blackish-brown saginella. F. w. with a white spot and a costal streak. Dark brown Platanella. F. w. with pale or silvery fascite. Blackish-brown; fascia median, curved Eubifoliella. Purplish-fuscous: fascia oblique, rather broad fuscotibiella. Bronzy-green; with two fascire bifasciella. Nepticula saginella. — Proc. Ent. Soc. Philad., Nov. 1861, p. 85. — Fore wings pale ochreous, sprinkled or dusted freely, with blackish-brown, over the entire surface. Cilia ochreous, slightly clothed with blackish-brown. Head and face blackish-brown. Eye-caps ochreous. The larva) were taken nearly half fed in leaves of black oak, on the 29th of July, and at this date most of the mines are abandoned. The larva is bright-green with a central dark-green line of ingesta. Head slightly touched with brownish. The mine is a serpentine, rather short tract, which, when occupied or recent, is white and nearly transparent, with a narrow, very black central frass line. It is frequently bent or curved as the larva ap- proaches maturity. The cocoonet is yellowish-white. Both the imago and larva are very small. Upon the authority of 3Ir. H. T. Stainton, for which I feel the high- est respect, '■ the six anterior legs so universally present in Lepidopte- rous larvae are wanting in Nepticula larva), and are replaced by mem- branous processes or prolegsj" each of the remaining segments are fur- nished with a pair of prolegs making eighteen in all. I find after a careful examination, that counting the head as the first segment, in iV. saginella, the third and fourth have a pair of legs, the fifth segment is without any, and the six following segments are each supplied with a pair of prolegs. So that the formula for the legs of iVl saginella would stand thus, making sixteen in all : "i'S" 18G5.] 147 I have not yet examined the neuration of JV. smjinella and it may be that it is a Trifurcula. An examination necessitates the destruction of the minute specimen, and I wish to defer it until I haye secured others. It appears to me, however, that the eyecaps are too large to permit sagindln to remain amongst the Nepticulae. The larvae of Trifurcula are entirely unknown, so that one can receive no assistance in classification from a knowledge of their habits. BUCCULATRIX, Zeller. Troc. Acad. ^Tat. Sci., Jan. 18G0, p. 13; June, 1860, p. 211. Bucculatrix trifasciella. — Fore wings ochreous, with three silvery, equidis- tant, costal streaks, the first near the base, the last at the beginning of the apical cilia, with the spaces between them somewhat darker than the general hue. On the middle of the dorsal margin is a spot of blackish-brown, with a patch of dispersed scales of the same hue, exterior to it, limited externally by a silvery dorsal streak. At the extreme tip is a small blackish-brown spot, with an intereilial line of the same hue exterior to it. Cilia ochreous. Hind wings fuscous; cilia the same. Antennae fuscous. Head ochreous; ej^e-caps somewhat silvery-white. The cocoonet of this species was found on the leaf of a chestnut tree early in July. The cocoon is elongated, ribbed externally and dark gray. The imago appeared in the latter part of July. The leaves of chestnut is mined early in the season by a larva that I have regarded as a JVepticula from the characters of the mine, but I am now disposed to think that the mine is made by the larva of trifas- ciella during its early life. This mine is noticed in the Proceedings for November, 1861, p. 85, under Nepticula sayineUa. INCUaVARIA, Haw. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Jan. 1860, p. 5. Fore and hind wings lanceolate, pointed.

Incurvaria mediostriatella. — Fore wings, irridescent bluish-purple, with a broad golden stripe from tlie base to the middle of the dorsal margin, leaving a stripe of the general hue on the base of the dorsal margin, and with a rather broad, obliquely placed costal streak, of the same hue, at the beginning of the apical cilia. The cilia are intermixed with golden scales. Hind wings red- dish-purple, cilia fuscous. Antennte and head pale-yellowish. Taken on wing, in damp woods, the latter part of July. This species diifers in some respects from both rassatelln and Acerl- /ullclla and from the European typical species. The antenn;\} are nearly if not ([uite as long as the fore wings, and perhaps in the future it may be necessary to create a new group for its reception. I have not deemed this advisable at present, as its oral parts are quite identical with those of the genus. Easton, Pennsylvania. 148 [September DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OFLIMENITIS. BY WM. H.

The specimen above described was taken by me in 18G3, near the 3Iountain House. On the 2nd of August of this year (1865), I took a second male of same characters in the Stony Clove, a few miles west of the .^lountain House. The upper surface agrees in all respects with the other, except that the band of wliite spots of primai'ies is indicated by a few scales only. On the under side the band extends from inner margin two-thirds across the wing only. This species differs from Ursula in color of both surfaces, in the white band, in the russet spots on upper side of secondaries, and the whitish streak on same wings below. The lower surface more resembles Arthemis, and the shape of secondaries is that of Arfheniis, being more rounded than Unnda. 1^ I A- (Uii.v^ DESCRIPTION OF A NEW PLDME-HOTH FROM CEYLON, WITH SOME REMARKS UPON ITS LIFE-HISTORY.

The Life-History of Trichoptilus paludicola. Preliminary Remarks. — In the early part of October, 1906, whilst encamped in the Royal Naval Camp at Diyatalawa, I found NEW FLUME-MOTH. 23 a species of " Plume Moth," which was quite new to me. Numerous specimens were taken at sunset on the edge of a boggy piece of swamp, and from its habitat and from the appearance of the moth I suspected at the time that it might prove to be a Drosera feeder, in the same way as had been recently proved to occur in the case of Trichoptilus 'paludum in Europe. (A'o/e.—" Obser- vations on the Life-History of Trichoptilus pallidum,'' by Dr. T. A. Chapman; Trans. Entom. Soc. Lond., 1906, p. 133.) At that time, however, I was unable to find any Drosera plants in the vicinity. In the follo^\^ng year on my arrival at Diyatalawa I determined to devote my first energies to a search for the larva of this species, and at last, on the 31st July, 1907, in a marshy place which had been cleared at some former time and had not been grown over to any great extent by the ordinary rank paludicolous vegetation, I came across numerous plants of Drosera burmanni, Vahl. T. paludicola was quite common here, so it seemed a likely place to look for the larva, which was soon revealed by a close search. It is unnecessary to refer here to the great interest which was excited so recently by the original discovery that Drosera is the food plant of T. paludum. As is well known, Drosera is an insecti- vorous plant, deriving almost the whole of its nourishment from the insects which it captures and digests, and there was therefore the less reason to suspect it to be the pabulum of a caterpillar which has apparently no means to protect it from being devoured. Dr. Chap- man and Mr. Bankes have, however, already shown the fallacy of this reasoning, and in the present instance I have found that Drosera burmanni is eaten with impunity by the larvre of T. paludicola and of a Noctuid Moth, whilst the flower stems are attacked by a species of Aphid. The Drosera plants themselves average about 25 mm. in expanse. In appearance the colour varies from light pink to bright red (occasionally pale green, usually in very shady places) ; in reality the leaves and stems themselvesareaverypalegreenlooking almost white from the minute silvery glands covering the surface ; the apparent red or pink colour is given by the long red or pink glandular petioles which cover the upper surface of the leaves ; those situated along the external margin of the leaves appear to be clavate at the end, but the other petioles exude a drop of clear gummy matter which forms a round drop at the tip of the petiole, and these gummy drops, as they glisten in the sun, give the plant its rather appropriate popular name of " Sundew." The flowers, which are of a pale pink colour, are borne on a long stem (not gummy), which rises from alongside the centre of the plant and attains a height of 8 or 9 inches. The roots are very small and barely serve to take a grip of the ground, but the plants seem to obtain a liberal .supply of insect 24 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. food, for nearly every plant examined will be found to have at least one undigested insect caught on its leaves. A small black ant seems to be the most frequent victim, but a small red ant, minute grass- iioppers, small moths, &c., are also to be seen. Egg-laying. — A female moth confined over plants of Drosera hurmanni laid several ova, most of which were deposited on the seed capsules and unexpanded flower buds. One ovum was laid midway on a petiole on the edge of a young leaf. Ovum. — When first deposited the egg is of a pale shining green colour, showing prismatic tints. There seems to be a system of rather coarse reticulation disposed regularly over the surface, but the enclosed depressions are very shallow. It is oval in longitudinal, circular in transverse, section. Its length is about -45 mm., and its diameter about 'IS mm. Larva. — There are apparently four instars : — - First Instar. — The newly hatched larva is about 1 mm. long. In colour it is a pale transparent yellow which takes a reflected tint from the Drosera leaves, thus making the young larva very di£&cult to see ; the prothoracic segment is a little darker, and the head is brown and comparatively very large. Scattered over the body are short white hairs, but they are neither conspicuous nor plentiful. No warts are visible. The larva crawls about without hesitation amongst the glandular hairs of the Drosera leaf, the gummy tips of the petioles standing up above it, so that it can walk about among their bases with impunity. In this stage it seems to feed entirely on the petioles and gum. Before undergoing its first ecdysis the larva grows to about 1-5 mm. in length, and the segmental interstices are more plainly marked in a lighter yellowish colour, whereas the segments themselves have become of a darker greenish-yellow. Second Instar. — About 2 mm. long and rather stout. Colour a greenish-yellow, paler below and on the sides on which the spiracles stand out darkly ; there are apparently small latero-dorsal tubercles which bear rather long white clubbed hairs. It feeds on the glandular petioles, biting through the base and drawing the stalk into its mouth by a series of movements and finishing by devouring the drop of gum. It seems fairly voracious, but is evidently rather fastidious in its selection of the glandular hairs. Third (? antepenultimate) Instar. — About 3 mm. long and fairly stout. Colour a pale green with interrupted pinkish latero-dorsal lateral, and supraspiracular stripes. Tubercles green at base, brownish at points of emission of the white hairs. The disposition of the tubercles is shown in the figure (fig 3). NEW PLUME -MOTH. 25 Fig. 3. — oth, 6tli, 7th, and 8th Somites~of larva of T. paludicola {penultimate instar.). Much magnified. At this stage the larva feeds indifferently on the leaves and the gummy glands of the Drosera. Fig. 4. — 6th and 7th Somites of larva of T. paludicola (ultimate instar.). E 8-07 26 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. Fourth {ultimate) Instar. — A fully fed larva on the point of pupa- tion is just over 7 mm. long, moderately stout, stoutest about middle of body, tapering rather more rapidl}'' towards the head. Colour pale green, a dark rather reddish narrow medio-dorsal stripe ; latero- dorsal tubercles red and surrounded with, dark red dashes, Avhich assume rather a longitudinal direction, so that the larva seems to have an interrupted rather broad latero-dorsal stripe. Head pale green ^\-ith dark ocellar marks on either side. Jaws and mouth parts reddish. Long palps on either side of jaws^(fig. 4). The larvae, however, vary much, but seem divisible into three types :— (1) Pale green with a distinctly reddish tinge ; a narrow darker green dorsal stripe bordered on either side by a pale yellowish longi- tudinal line ; head pale green with dark reddish ocellar patches ; tubercles reddish-brown ; hairs white, as long as diameter of seg- mental interstices, slightly and regularly dilated towards apex ; prolegs pale green, almost transparent. (2) Paler green, on which the tubercles show up conspicuously as a bright dark red, (3) Very much suffused with red, so as to appear of almost as red a colour as the Drosera itself. The intensity of the dorsal stripe is very variable ; in some specimens it is very distinct, in others quite obsolete. In its final instar the larva shows a decided preference for the buds and seeds of the Drosera, eating a hole in the side of the seed capsule and devouring the contents, but it also eats the leaves (fig. 6). General Remarks on the Larval State. — In all its stages the larva is extremely similar to the Drosera and difficult to distinguish. Even a full-grown larva may easily be passed over as a glandular leaf seen edgewise, and vice versa. Ordinarily the larva seems sluggish, but can move along fairly fast when ithkes. It has, indeed, little incentive to move from the food plant. When resting across the centre of the plant, x^dith plenty of food witliin reach, it seems to remain there for days, until a large pile of flacpid dark-yellowish-green frass accumulates. In some cases the frass is jerked away by a rapid movement of the anal extremity. In one instance which I noted it went about an inch up into the air and fell on to the Drosera plant about half an inch away from the larva ; but usually, I should imagine, it falls clear of the food plant, or there would be no object in flicking it away in this manner. However, as noted above, the frass often does accu- mulate on the foodplant, so evidently this process of removal is not an invariable habit, but is a pecuUarity confined to certain indivi- duals. NEW PLUME-MOTH. 27 When crawling on to a Drosera plant the larva seems very careful to keep clear of the gummy petioles, and is assisted to do so by its long hairs, more especially those situated upon the head, for these hairs are seen to have enlarged basal attachments, which are evidently correlated with hypertrophied tactile nerves. (See fig. 5). When crawling over the leaves the gum is often seen to adhere to the legs of the larva, which then stops, bends down its head, and cleans them by passing the gummy legs through its mouth. The whole process rather reminds one of a cat licking itself clean. Fig. 5. — Head and Prothorax of larva of T. paludicola showing tactile hairs. (NTote the enlarged basal attachments of these hairs, evidently correlated with a hypertrophied tactile nerve.) Pupation. — When searching for the larvae I must have examined several scores of Drosera plants, which either contained full-fed larvse or showed signs of having recently done so, but only in one case have I as yet found the pupa in a natural position, and, judging by the restless behaviour of larvse in confinement just prior to pupation, I am constrained to believe that the larva wanders away from the plant and fixes itself up for pupation on some grass stem or other similar object, where its discovery would be rendered exceedingly difficult by its resemblance to a pendulous grass seed. This pupa, which was found in siki in its natural position (on 27th August), was on a medium-sized Drosera plant, which was growing 28 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. under the shade of a tuft of grass. The plant had evidently been badly eaten by the larva, and there was no flower stalk. The pupa was attached by its cremastral hooks to a silken pad spun on the base of a leaf just below the central bud and was lying, dorsal surface uppermost, across some leaves whose gummy petioles had been eaten away by the larva. This pupa was of a greenish-yellow- brown colour, just the tint of the faded sundew leaves, and it looked rather like a grass seed which had fallen on to the plant and stuck to the gum; it may be added that ripe grass seeds are often so found. In confinement the larva exhibits a certain preference for suspen- sion from the flower stalk of its food plant, whose colour is of a reddish green. Even when the stem is growing at an angle, its double set Fig. fff — (Lower nj (Upper figure) Pupa from the side, gure) Full-grown larva eating into a seed-capsule. (From drawings by E. E. Green.) of cremastral hooks enables the pupa to keep its ventral surface closely appressed to the lower side of the stem, so that it is not sus- pended freely. It seems possible that this pupa possesses a certain amount of colour adaptability, those pupae attached to the reddish flower stems having usually an increased red suff^usion in comparison with those attached to glass or white paper. When on an approximately horizontal surface, the pupa is usually found dorsum uppermost ; otherwise it invariably suspends itself head downwards and with the ventral surface appressed to its support. In the case of a pupa in a horizontal position the cast larval skin is sometimes seen lying near it , but quite free and shrivelled up. The NEW PLUME-MOTH. 29 suspended pupa always gets rid of the larval skin entirely. This habit is the exact opposite of that found in Trichoptilus oxydactylus, Wlk. , whose discarded larval skin is not shrivelled up, but is stretched out along the stem just above the pupa. When first formed the pupa is of a light apple-green colour, the wing-covers and appendages of a darker green, and a narrow darker medio-dorsal stripe. On either side of this last is a series of eight red tubercles, each bearing two black spines, both pointing longi- tudinally in opposite directions ; on about the eighth somite, however, the foremost of these two spines becomes obsolescent and quite disappears before the anal extremity is reached. (See fig. 7.) The cremaster consists of two portions approximately equal to one another, one in the centre of the ventral surface of the twelfth somite, the other at the anal extremity. In some cases the newly formed pupa is wholly suffused with a deli- cate pink flush, which almost becomes a dull red in some specimens. After a couple of days the bright green begins to fade and ulti- mately becomes a dull uniform pale yellowish-brown, by which time the eyes and antennae are clearly marked in black. The pupa is formed about thirty hours after the larva has sus- pended itself, and the moth emerges after about nine or ten days in the pupal state. Emergence of Imago. — The moth always emerges in the morning, usually at about 8 a.m. The following notes refer to one particular caseof eclosion, which was watched throughout : — " 10th September, 1907, 7.30 a.m.— Pupa of paludicola bent away from the supporting stem. Wing covers very dark , the mngs slwwing through; abdomen dark yello^vish-brown ; capital extremity lighter. " 8 a.m. — A dark mark along base of wang covers, which seem quite separated from segments. Pupa quiescent. " 8.20 A.M. — A reddish suffusion along dorsal segments (about fifth to eighth). " 8.40 A.M.^-A tremulous motion, and the pupa hangs down a little more freely. " 8.45 A.M. — Segments opposite tips of wing covers look very loosely separated, and there is a constant slight motion in the ventro-dorsal plane. "8.48 A.M. — Antenna-case separate; a distinct split in lower surface near eye. Head emerging. Emergence of thorax quickly follows in rapid gliding jerks. "8.50 A.M. — Abdomen is half emerged; tips of wings still retained ; legs and antennae free. There is now a distinct pause. " 8.54 A.M. — A sudden jerk and the abdomen is wholly withdrawn from the pupa case, Avhicli is grasped by the first and second pairs of legs. The abdomen now hangs down, the hind legs crossed over it, 30 . SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. whilst the ^Yings are raised over the back. The forewdngs are now about as long as the abdomen ; they seem comparatively very large on emergence. The anal tufts are erect and separate, but the hairs look a little matted together. " 9 A.M. — The wings are almost fully expanded, but the cilia are rather matted together. ' ' 9.07 A.M. — The \vings are separated and held in a plane parallel with the abdomen, the costal margins of the fore wings being at about a right angle with one another. The third segment of the hind wing is kept separate between the other segments and the abdomen. The cilia still look matted. The antennae are laid along the costa. The hind legs are now at an angle with the abdomen underneath the wings, which seem rather to be stretched over the spurs. Can these spurs be for the purpose of stretching and dr3ang the wings, a thing which must be somewhat of a difficulty in the case of these long slender segments ? Anyway, it certainly is the case that amongst the Plume Moths there is a correlation between long spurs and extreme fission of the wings. Normally, too, when the moth has flown, the long spurred hind legs are stuck straight out when at rest, well away from the wings. " 9.24 A.M. — The legs have now been slipped down a little, and each outer distal spur is now pressing on the costa of the second segment of the forewings, separating it out from the first segment, whilst the outer proximal spur similarly opens out the second segment of the hind wings from the first segment. "9.29 a.m. — The legs have now been slipped down nearer the body, and are directly beneath the third segment of the hind wings. The outer distal spur is just touching the cilia of the inner margin of the second segment of the forewings, and probably acts as a sort of comb to separate the hairs. " 9.34 A.M. — The third segment of the hind wings is now resting with its apex on the outer distal spur, wliich spreads out the long cilia very well. The outer proximal spur combs out the inner marginal cilia of the third segment. " 9.40 A.M — The hind legs are now laid along the abdomen quite clear of the wings, which are still deflexed. 9.45-9.50 A.M. — The wings are being brought forward very slowly until the costal margins are at about right angles with the abdomen. Meanwhile the antennae are laid beneath the Avings and comb out the basal cilia as the wings are drawn forward." I would call particular attention to the light now thrown on the use of the long spurs which occur on the hind legs of so many Plume Moths. The facts exhibited in the above notes, together with the constant correlation of long spurs with extreme fission of the wings, seem to point out that these spurs have been developed expressly to stretch the wings, to separate the segments, and to comb out the lorjg cilia. NEW PLUME-MOTH. 31 Habits of Imago. — The moth seems to fly naturally from about half an hour before to just after sunset, and again in the morning until about half an hour after sunrise : the flight is fairly swift, but gentle and floating, and not sustained. If. flying naturally they rarely seem to fly more than a yard or so at a time, and not more than four or five yards if disturbed. They stop with a jerk and pitch on a grass stem, flower head, leaf, &c., with the wings rolled up and stuck out at right angles on either side, and the long spurred hind legs projecting upwards between the wings and abdomen. I have never yet seen two in copula. Perhaps they pair after sunset, remain coupled all night, and separate at sunrise, the female ovipositing next evening. Even in locaHties where it is abundant, T. paludicola is a very inconspicuous little insect, and there are so many small Rhynchota and Diptera extremely similar to it when on the wing and abundant in the same habitats that it is at first by no means easy to distinguish it even when one is on the look out for this particular " Plume." Its jerky floating flight will, however, soon become familiar to any one who is searching for it. The moth is never to be found away from the immediate vicinity of the Drosera. Time of Appearance. — The moth was first found by me in the beginning of October, 1906. On my return to Diyatalawa at the end of July, 1907, it was quite common, and has remained on the wing quite abundantly up to the time of writing, and during the whole of this period the larva has been found in all stages, so that it appears probable that this species is continuous-brooded throughout the year. Habitat. — Ceylon, Province of Uva, Diyatalawa (4,000 feet). July to October, and probably throughout the year. Mr. Meyrick informs me (in litt.) that he has also received this species from the Khasi Hills, Assam. Enemies. — Amongst the agencies destructive to this species must be reckoned the human inhabitants of the districts in which it occurs ; these burn off the grass, &c., of the patanas regularly, and these constant fires must destroy vast numbers of T. paludicola in all its stages. Luckily, however, for the moth, it is never likely to be wholly exterminated by this means, since the vegetation of the boggy valleys, which form its headquarters, is usually too lush to burn. The adult moth is preyed on by a small crab spider (Thomisidce) which lives on the seed heads of grasses, with whose colour it agrees exactly. Tlie larva falls a victim to a small blackish Ichneumonid, which emerges from the larva when it is full grown, and spins a small oval pale yellow silken cocoon on the Drosera flower stalk or on a neigh- bouring piece of grass or occasionally on a Drosera leaf. Mr. E. Ernest Green, to whom I had sent some paludicola larvae, was lucky 32 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. enough to observe the actual emergence of this Ichneumonid grub from the parasitized larva, and writes as follows : — " My first attempt was interrupted by the sudden emergence of an Ichneumon grub. Whilst endeavouring to draw this caterpillar a lump appeared between the 7th and 8th somites, inside Avhich vigorous movements were seen. Presently a yellowish grub forced its way through the skin at this point. The grub has a row of rounded tubercles on each side, which it alternately protrudes and retracts during its efforts to free itself from the body of the larva. While its hinder extremity was still attached to the side of the caterpillar, the grub commenced to spin its cocoon. Bulk for bulk, the grub is little smaller than the larva from which it has emerged. Within an hour the grub has completely enclosed itself in a pale yellow silken cocoon. Meanwhile, the caterpillar had completely collapsed." Roughly, about one- third of the larvae collected seem to be attacked by this parasite, which emerges from its cocoon after about eight days. I am indebted to Mr. E. Ernest Green for the drawings of figures 6 and 7. THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLOH, By T. BAINBRIGGE FLETCHER, R.N., F.E.S. [Reprinted from " Spolia Zeylaniea,'' Vol. VI., Part XXI., March, 1909.] 3o Xii_- <^5 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. Part I.— The Pterophoridse. By T. Bainbeigge Fletcher, R.N., F.E.S. {With 5 Plates and a Map.) Introductory. IN popular language the term " Plume Moths " generally includes the members of two families, the Pterophoridae or true plumes and the Orneodidse or 24-plumes, whose common peculiarity lies in the fact that their wings are more or less split into segments resembling feathers or plumes. Both these families are doubtless very ancient forms, as is sliown by their universal distribution and the absence of any other nearly allied groups. Nor must it be imagined that the Pterophoridse and Orneodidse are at all closely related, merely because they are both included under tlie popular term of " Plume Moths " ; as a matter of fact, they seem as little related to one another as either is to any other group of the Micro-lepidoptera. Fission of the wings, indeed, occurs sporadically in many other grou|)S of the Lepidoptera : for example, the S^aitomidse (which have been held to l^ the most specialized of all moths) include the curious Trichceta pterophorina, Mab., from Natal and Mashonaland, in which the fore wing is deeply cleft ; the Arctiadoe include Ehago- phanes tortriciformis, Z.,from Java, in which the hind wing is cleft to its middle ; whilst amongst the Oxychirotidse we find Cenoloha obliterans, Wlk. (specimens of which I possess from Trincomalee),iu which both wings are cleft into two segments. As regards any advantages conferred by this fission of the wings nothing is known, but it seems probable that some advantage will be found in considering the mechanics of flight amongst these species. Where rapidity of flight is not a desideratum it appears reasonable to suppose that a light framework of wing (so to speak), supple- mented by a large surface of long cilia, will be of advantage as compared with the ordinary type of lepidopterous wing by giving an equal measure of aerial support for less weight , and consequently less expenditure of muscular energy ; the same device is seen in B 7(6)09 '^ 2 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. many of the minute species of Tineina, in which the cilia are enor- mously developed. As regards the origin of the clefts, it has been suggested that these have been developed along lines of weakness caused originally by the folding of the wings when at rest. The Pterophoridse may be described roughly as small, slim moths with long legs ; the fore wings usually cleft into two segments, the hindwings into three ; maxillary palpi obsolete ; the rows of specialized scales near the dorsal margin on the basal half of the second, segment of the hindwings are also characteristic. They are often attracted to light at night, or may be disturbed from low- growing herbage in the day time, when they usually fly only a' short distance and alight on a stem or the upper surface of a leaf, where they rest with their wings nearly horizontal and held out at right angles with the body, the hind wings being folded up under the fore wings. But they are best obtained by breeding the larvae, which are readily found once the food plant is known. Bibliography. Until within the last three or four years the Plume-moths of Ceylon have suffered neglect at the hands of collectors and system- atists alike. In 1864, in his " List of Insects in the British Museum," Francis Walker enumerated four species [argyriodactyls^, anisodac- tylus, oxydactylus, and leucadactylus) , collected by Dr. Templeton and Mr. Nietner, all of which were described as new ; in 1875 Felder figured and named taprohanes, which had been brought back by the Austrian Scientitic Expedition in the frigate " Novara ; " in 1887, in his " Lepidoptera of Ceylon," F. Moore quoted Walker's descriptions and Felder' s figure and described as new one species {^serindihanus) which has since proved identical with a well-known European species ; and in 1891 Lord Walsingham described and figured concursa. * During a period of forty years, then, only seven species had been found to occur in Ceylon ; in 1905 Mi". E. Meyrick commenced his descriptions of Indian Micro -Lepidoptera in the " Journal of tlie Bombay Natural History Society," and in the three years, 1905- 1907, the former number has rei^resented about the average amnial additions to the list, thanks to the energies of our local lepidopterists, and to this number again I now add another eight species or " forms." Although there is no reason to believe that no further additions will be made to our list — ^indeed, I venture to suppose that our local Pteropliorid fauna will eventually be found to include at least fifty species or forms — yet it has seemed to me that a useful end will be served by collecting together the various items that have been published or discovered regarding the Plume-moths of Ceylon. A review of what is alread}^ known will at least clear the ground for further work. PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYl.ON. Identification. One of the great difficulties of all local workers at zoology in the tropics lies in the identification of tlieir specimens " Si nomina nescis, perit et cognitio rerum," and nowhere is this truer than in entomology. Considerations of space have prevented my giving a detailed description of all the species, but the tables will facilitate determination, which may then be confirmed by reference to the descriptions and figures cited under each species. There should be little difficulty in identification by means of the analytical keys to the genera and species, but a few words of expla- nation may be advisable. Each key is dichotomous throughout, that is to say, each heading is subdivided into two until the final results are reached. Each head is numbered consecutively, and each subdivision of a head is made to refer either to a final result or to a following head. There are two stages in the identification of any species, the finding first of its genus and secondly of its specific name. To take an actual example. Firstly, we have to note whether the wings are fissured or not ; we find they are fissured, and are referred to the number 3 on the right of the page. Now, turning to the number 3 lower down on the left of the page, we see that the fore wings have two lobes and are referred to the number 4, which we follow down in the same way. The cilia contain distinct scale- tufts, which brings us to number 5. The dorsal cilia of third segment of the hind wing contain a distinct scale-tuft, which refers us to number 9. The second segment of the fore wing is distinctly broad, so that the specimen must fall under number 10 and, as the segments of the hind wing are differently shaped, it must be a Platyptilia. The second stage is to find the specific name. We turn to the Synopsis of the Species oiPlatypilia^wA note that our specimen has the abdomen shorter than the dorsum of the fore wing, its pectus is not yellow, and the large scale-tooth on dorsum of third segment of the hind ^\^ng touches the apex, so that the moth must be P. pusillidactyla, an identification whose accuracy is strengthened on turning to that species by the fact that we bred it from a boxful of flower and seed heads picked off a Lantana bush. In drawing up the key to the genera some difficulties have pre- sented themselves, due to the fact that I have endeax'oured to make use only of characters easily made out by means- of a simple lens at most, without the aid of the microscopic manipulation necessary to determine details of neuration, &c. ; however, it is hoped that local collectors will find the table quite workable. Should examin- ation of the neuration be necessary the following method may be adopted : take a glass slide and smear on its centre a thm layer of . clove oil with a fine brush, remove the wings and place them in 4: SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. position on the slide, lightly smearing them over with clove oil, carefully cover them with a drop or two of Canada balsam, and apply over them a cover-glass, which may be held down by a clip or small weight for a few days until the balsam is hard. By adjusting the mirror of the microscope, so that the rays fall a little obliquely, the nervures show up fairly well. Descaling by means of a very fine brush or by immersion in " Eau de Javelle" is not, as a rule, satisfactory, except in the case of large specimens. Structure. For the convenience of local collectors I give a diagram showing the terms used in descriptions of the parts of a wing : — AJ ABC C BCDE CD D DE DEF E EF F EFGH FG G JHG Positions in the wing a marking at position B at § ; one at position K marking at |.

The move important of these will be fomid quoted under the various species, but I regret to say that many of these papers are inaccessible to the ordinary student in Ceylon, i.e., no copies are to be found in any public or scientific library in the Island. The most generally useful papers are those on the family by jVIi'. Meyrick in Trans. Entom. Soc, London, for 1886 and 1907, and in the Bombay Society's Journal, vol. XVI., part 4, et seq. The descriptions in Walker's Catalogue are hopeless without reference to the type- specimens, and Moore's " Lepidoptera of Ceylon" and Cotes' and Swinhoe's "Catalogue of the Motlis of India" may safely be ignored by workers in this group.

Parts of the Island have been fairly well worked, e.g., the districts around Kandy, Maskeliya, Madulsima, and Diyatalawa ; of other parts we know a little, e.g., Puttalam, Trincomalee, and the coast line between Colombo and Hambantota ; the rest of Ceylon is as yet practically a ttrra incognita. As places likely to yield novelties 1 would especiall}' indicate the Ratnapura District, the Kelani Valley, and that part of the Island lying north of a line drawn from Puttalam to Trincomalee. Times of Appearance. As a rule, I have thought it unnecessary to enumerate exact dates of capture, as my expeiience has led me to conclude that nearly all our Cej^lon plumes are continuously-brooded, and that some indi- viduals may be found at almost any time of the year. I would impress upon collectors, however, the desirability of recording exact dates of capture on the labels of all their specimens. SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. Faunal Resemblances. As the geographical distribution is given under each species, I do not propose to enter into the subject here. Of the thirty-seven species enumerated, however, twelve (or 32 per cent.) are at present only known from Ceylon ; seventeen (or 46 per cent.) are wide- ranging forms which occur in at least two other localities ; four (or 11 per cent.) have only been found hitherto in the Khasi Hills (Assam) ; and Java, India, the South Indian Hills, and Australia each produces one species which is only known otherwise from Ceylon. At present we know too little of the distribution of the Ptero- phoridse in general to permit of any useful deductions being drawn, but a point which has especially struck me is the great resemblance shown by the plume fauna of Ceylon to those of the Khasi Hills (Assam) and Java. The fact of finding such forms as P. citropleura and A. melanopoda in localities so widely separated as the Ivhasi Hills and the central districts of Ceylon seems to me either to argue the immense antiquity of a specific existence which reaches back to a time when Ceylon and Assam were connected (if ever they were) or else to point to the wonderful powers of dispersal (? by the monsoon winds) possessed by these little moths. The latter supposition appears the more probable. Acknowledgments. One of the most pleasing duties in writing a paper like the present lies in the fact that some acknowledgment can be made for the many instances of help freely rendered by friends and corre- spondents. To Mr. E. Meyrick my thanks are due for the ready and courteous way in which he has replied to the innumerable queries which have arisen in working at this subject away from type- collections and libraries ; his published papers must also form the basis of all work on the plume moths of India and Ceylon. Messrs. E. E. Green, W. Vaughan, J. Pole, F. M. Mackwood, W. Ormiston, and O. S. Wickwar have most generously helped with specimens collected by themselves, and I am also indebted to Mr. G. B. de Mowbray, who kindly sent me his collection for inspection. Dr. J. C. Willis has assisted most substantially by the identification of the various plants on which larvae have been found.

The full-grown larva may be described as stout, rather flattened. Head pale yellow. Other segments a pale grayish-green, interstices of segments (only visible when expanded) darker green. Dorsal surface pale ; warts with a little orange-yellow about their bases, often forming a distinct orange-yellow or reddish median stripe. An ill-defined broad dark lateral shade appears to be caused by the contents of the alimentary canal, as it disappears towards the anal extremity when frass is voided. Hairs white, usually very conspicuous. (Plate E, figure 1.) In confinement the larva generally wanders off the food plant to pupate, but occasionally attaches itself to the upper surface of the midrib of a leaf. I have never found the pupa in nature. The pupa is usually suspended horizontally to a vertical support, being closely appressed ventrally to the resting-surface by the double set of cremastral hooks. Its colour, which is variable, is some shade of pale green, but it always has a broad reddish medio- dorsal stripe. These colours fade into a greenish-brown shortly before emergence, which takes place after about six days, the moth generally appearing in the late evening, quite contrary to the ordinary habits of plume moths. The pupa is comparatively extremely small, and it seems marvellous how such a large moth can emerge from a pupa-case which does not seem sufficiently large to contain its abdomen alone. (Plate E, figure 2.) ^Habits. — Although the larvae are common and easy to find and rear up, the moth itself appears to be of a very retiring nature and is rarely seen in a wild state, although it occasionally comes into light. It is very difficult to beat from the food plant and, when it is disturbed, the fiight is rapid and the moth easily overlooked. - Observation. — It is noteworthy that up-country specimens — i.e., from Kandy and above — are distinctly larger than those from the coast districts, the former having an average expanse of about 16-17 mm. as against about 12-13 mm. in the case of the latter. It may be permissible to conjecture that this difference is due directly to climate, the up-country specimens having had longer-feeding larvae which, as a rule, produce larger imagines than larvae which feed for a shorter period of time ; but, of course, this is one of the innumerable problems in Sinhalese entomology in which we require 10 SPOLIA ZBYLANICA. actual experiments instead of theoretic deductions, which can at best be only guesses at the truth.

Colour a pale green, the spiracles narrowly ringed with black : they are situated about half w^ay up the segments but do not seem raised above the skin-surface at all. There is a broad medio-dorsal stripe, purple at the edges, but very dark internally. This is narrowly and obscurely edged by a narrow whitish-green longitudinal stripe, of a tint shghtly paler than the ground-colour. Half way between the lower edge of this stripe and the spiracle is a second similar whitish-green stripe, and a third similar stripe occurs on the latero- ventral surface at a distance below the spiracle, equal to that of the second stripe above it. The two latero-dorsal setigerous tubercles are situated at a horizontal distance apart, equal to about one- third of the width of the segment ; the foremost one bears a short black hair, the aftermost a similar white hair ; the tubercles themselves are very small and inconspicuous. Just above the spiracle occurs a short white hair, directed outwards. Just below the spiracle are (i.) a very short white hair directed forward, (ii.) a short white hair directed backward. The whole body, particularly on the dorsal and ventral regions, is thickly covered with minute short, black, bristly hairs. The legs are fairly large and are yellowish in colour : PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 11 prolegs rather small, greenish-yellow. The larva feeds on the flowers and seeds of Sopubia trifida." In the case of another larva, the 6th and 11th segments had a round pale spot in the purple dorsal stripe on each side of its central darker line. (Plate E, figure 3.) The pupa is long and narrow, of a pale yellowish-green colour with a broad purplish-red dorsal stripe ; the usual white hairs are so short that they are only just perceptible under a lens. The larval skin is discarded entirely and is shrunk up into a minute pellet. The pupa is capable of rapid and violent motions in the ventro- dorsal plane, the head being bent backwards dorsally until it touches the anal extremity. The pupa is suspended head downwards, ventral surface against support. Stenoptilia petr.^a, Meyr. T. E. S., 1907, 504. Distribution. — Diyatalawa. The only specimen that I have seen was beaten from a clump of bushes in a marshy valley near the Rifle Range on August 19, 1907. Originally described from the Palni and Nilgiri Hills in Southern India. Observation. — Superficially very similar to zophodactyla, but structurally distinct by the shape of the first segment of the fore wings, which is narrower and with lower margin straight to apex, so that there is no lower angle. This pecularity is very distinct and striking, once attention is directed to it. PLATYPTILIA, Hb. Synopsis of the Species. _ , , ( Abdomen as long as dorsum of fore wmg . . brachymorpha . ^ (.

Distribution. — Pattipola. I have not seen this species. It occurs also in India, and has been recorded from Cape Colony and the Congo. In India and Ceylon it seems to be essentially a hill species, all the records being from localities with an elevation of 6,000 feet or over. " Platyptilia molopias, Meyr. (Plate A., figure 1.)

Not yet recorded, except from Ceylon, where it is fairly common in the hill districts. Early Stages. — Ovum. — The egg is about '47 mm. long by about •3 mm. broad, the micropylar end distinctly the larger and flattened ; in colour it is of a very pale green, the surface reticulated with large but shallow rounded depressions. Larva. — Larvae were found on May 18, 1908, at Madulsima, feeding on the flowers and unripe seeds of Teucrium tomentosum, Hey. The larva is of a very pale green colour, and is very difficult to discern when in situ on the food plant. Half -grown examples often seem to have a narrow reddish medio-dorsal stripe, lacking in adults, which latter have sometimes some lateral reddish markings on the thoracic segments. Like all " plume" larvae, however, this one is very variable in colour, and some examples might be described as reddish with a greenish latero-dorsal suffusion on the abdominal segments. The head is yellowish or pale green, the ocelli very distinctly marked in black. The segmental divisions are sharply distinct. All primary hairs are white ; the longest hairs PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON, 13 are a little longer than the diameter of the segments on which they arise. The legs are yellowish-green, extremities of claws reddish. Prolegs very transparent pale green, hooks reddish. Spiracles very inconspicuous. Secondary hairs short, black. (Plate E, figure 4.) Parasites. — Of some fifty or sixty larvae collected, about 75 per cent, were found to be attacked by a small black ichneumonid fly. Pufa. — The pupa is suspended freely by the tail from an empty flower- sheath of the food plant. It is rather short, the appendage sheaths very long and well separated. Colour a pale flesh-pink, mottled longitudinally with brown ; head and wing-sheaths pale greenish, the latter with longitudinal brown shading. Dorsal prominences small, distinct, subequal, directed forward, except the first, which is extremely large, directed backwards, blunt, but tipped anteriorly with a sharp spine whose point is bent forward. This large prominence is sharply outlined by a deep brown shading which reaches obhquely anteriorly half way across the wing-cover. A second brown shade, parallel to the first but less intense and narrower, occurs on the 6th segment, but barely reaches on to the wing-sheath. Imago. — The moth emerges from the pupa after about a week. Platyptill^ pusillidactyla, Wlk. (Plate A., figure 2.) Pusillidactyla.— W\k., Cat. XXX., 933; Wlsm., P. Z.

Abundant throughout Ceylon in every district that has been invaded by Lantana. Early Stages. — Ovum. — The[;egg is about • 4 mm. long by about • 22 mm. broad, and is of a very pale greenish-yellow colour (almost colourless) ; one end seems larger than the other and this larger end is studded with little prominences, especially noticeable in the micropylar area. Oviposition.— On the evening of January 4, 1908, 1 watched a female ovipositing on Lantana at GaUe. She flew about slowly and pitched on a terminal shoot enclosing a small green unexpanded flower bud. ' This she seemed to examine by bending down her head and antennae and then, apparently satisfied, she bent her abdomen downwards and right forward (until the ovipositor must have extended at least as far forward as her head) and deposited a single, small, oval, greenish- white ovum. She then flew to another bud 14 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. and repeated the operation. The process of selecting the bud and depositing the egg took perhaps thirty seconds. Larva. — The larva itself is stout, pale yellow, and naked — at least, no hairs are visible to the unaided eye. The larva is usually found coiled round at the base of the flower- tubes in the interior of a Lantana flower. (Plate E, figure 5.) Pupa. — The pale yellow pupa is to be found in a sort of chamber gnawed into the side of the fruit receptacle, a regular cocoon being formed of bits of vegetable matter spun together with silk. The emerged pupae are usually found projecting half way out of the cocoon amongst the ripening fruit, such bunches of fruit being far less pro- ductive than unattacked ones. This little plume, then, must form a factor of some importance in considering the increase of Lantana in the Island. (Plate E., figure 6.) Observation. — I understand that Lantana was originally a South American plant and was introduced into Ceylon about eighty years ago, and it appears probable that P. pusillidactyla is also an intro- duced species, as its distribution is very wide. Originally described from the West Indies, it has been recorded from Reunion, India, and Ceylon, and I possess a specimen taken by myself in Mahe (Seychelles Islands), and have lately received an example from Honolulu, i- vL(K^ uX^to (rvu£- uiluiyK L tociK- iX' rnM^^Mmj- Platyptilia taprobanes, F elder.

Mr. Mey- rick has recorded a specimen from Peradeniya, but this is possibly an error in labelling on the part of the captor, or more probably an importation with its food plant into the Botanic Gardens. P. taprobanes seems to be always a hill species, its distribution outside Ceylon being South India (Palni Hills), Assam (Khasi Hills), and West Java (Preanger, 1500-1600 met.). Early Stages. — The early stages and food plant are quite unknown. Observation. — Snellen's figure of sythoffi is very good, and is un- mistakably this species. The same cannot be said for Felder's figure, which is very poor and doubtful ; in my copy of his Plate 140, figure 54 appears to be engraved after sythoffi and coloured with a longitudinal ochreous streak near the apex of the fore wing in a manner only characteristic of H. argyriodactyla amongst our Sinha- lese species. The scale-tufts in the figure might apply to either of these species. Under these circumstances I have thought it best to foUow Mr. Meyrick's identification. / PLITME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 15 Platyptilia uiTROFLEURA, Meyr. T. E. S. 1907, 482. DistrihutiOTk. — Maskeliya.

L(wo^ ^ sze-L)^^ of Observation. — Quite distinct from taprobanes, being smaller and 21^£nL^ blacker ; moreover, the cleft in the fore wing is so shallow that it does not reach to a position immediately over the outer scale-tuft on the hinder margin of the wing ; in taprobanes the base of the cleft is directly over this tuft. I have examined a specimen, taken at Maskeliya in June, in the collection of Mr. J. Pole, and two examples (both Maskeliya, Janu- ary, 1908) , in that of Mr. G. B. de Mowbray, and am further indebted to Mr. Pole for a specimen taken at Maskeliya in November, 1908, and which he has kindly added to my collection. HEPTALOBA, Wlsm. On its inception this genus was considered by Lord Walsingham as most nearly allied to Amblyptilia {Platyptilia), but the linear, similarly- shaped segments of the hind wing seem to me to place it much nearer to Oxyptilus. Plate B. , figure B. , shows the neuration of the only known species. It will be noted that vein 3 of the fore wing has apparently been rendered obsolete by the development of the cleft between veins 2 and 4; at least, I have been unable to observe its presence after a careful examination of foui' specimens specially prepared for the microscope. The neuration of the hind wing (not shown in the figure) is as follows : — 16 to apex of third segment ; 2 short, running into hinder margin of second segment near base ; 3 out of 4 at angle of cell, long, parallel, running into hinder margin of second segment at ^ ; 4 to apex of second segment ; 5 and 6 apparently absent ; 7 to apex of first segment ; 8 parallel to 7, running into costa at half.

This interesting little genus, which was founded by Zeller in 1852 (Linn. Ent. VI., 402) for the reception of tengstroemi, may at once be recognized by the fact that the fore wing is split into three seg- ments, the normal second segment being itself subdivided to about half its length. (See Plate B., figure C.) Jt>( Fi^ie "species" have been described: tengstroemi, TL. ; ritsemcB, S'oeo^AiuA^, 12ci^^Wlsm. ; rubrodactylus , Fs^g. -lyplaneta, Meyr. ; famulus, Meyr. ; but as a rule these little moths seem scarce in collections, and the specific characters have therefore been taken from short series or even from single specimens. Working in this way, it is easy enough to divide up the available specimens into species or forms or races, but the extraordinary amount of individual variation renders this grouping useless when larger series of examples of this genus are being dealt with. A few months ago I possessed seven specimens of Deutero- copus from Ceylon, and these were clearly separable into four " species" ; in June, 1908, I caught or bred 19 other examples from Galle, and I have lately been able to see a specimen in the collection of Mr. G. B. de Mowbray ; an examination of these 27 specimens has convinced me that we have only one real " species " of this genus in Ceylon. It is true that this species is divisible into four forms, each with its distinct facies ; these I have shown in the table and synopsis, but the differences shown in the table must be taken as typical of the extremes of the various forms, and must certainly not be considered as invariable. Indeed, there appear to be no characters which do not vary from an appearance tjrpical of one form into that characteristic of any of the others ; perhaps the colour of the pectus and ventral surface of the abdomen may be taken as a character as constant as any. My opinion of these forms is that all the Ceylon specimens belong to one highly variable species which has already broken up into several well-marked subspecific forms, still fused by syngamy into a single species, and that these forms may be regarded as species in the making, ready to break away from the parent stock by the development of asyngamy through the eiTects of isolation or pro- nounced preferential mating. Meanwhile, it is convenient to treat the different forms as distinct for the purpose of identification of their specimens by local collectors. ^ Since writing the above I have found D. tongoinami abundantly at Hambantota, and an examination of some sixty specimens of this form shows that it is on the whole more constant within certain limits of variation than appears to be the case in the other three. In this case isolation, by the larval habit of feeding on a plant typical of the very dry districts, seems to have separated off this form from the other throe characteristic of the wetter parts of the Island, and I am now inclined to consider it a true species PLUME-MOTHS-OF-CEYLON. 17 although I am unable to perceive any distinguishing dmraeters between the male genital armatures of tongfitroomi and nthffnhxdyms-, in both of which forms this latter structure is highly complex and characteristic. In spite of the similarity in the genitalia, however, the difference in habitat appears sufficient to secure asyngamy. Observation. — Zeller named this genus Deuterocopus, giving the derivation of tlie name, and this is obviously not a misprint as the same spelhng is seen on pages 319 and 4J 5 of Volume VI. of " Lumsea Entomologica." Some later authors however {e.g., Hofmann, Deutsche Ent. Zeit., 1898, p. 329; Pagensteclier, Zoologica, XXIX., p. 241) have altered Zeller's name to Deuteroscopm. This latter spelling is quite inadmissible, since a generic name, once published, is inviolable, except where it is a mere printer's error, for which tliere is evidence. 7(6)09 18 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA.

Originally described from Java ; thia apcoioo hau also been rocordod fpem Aa&am and the Kei Islands. Early Stages. — The larva feeds on the flowers of the square- stemmed jungle vine ( Vitis quadrangularis) so characteristic of the dry districts, and the pupa is attached to a flower, flower-stalk, or stem of the food plant, or more rarely to a leaf of the same. A description of the early stages is reserved to another occasion. The moth is readily disturbed by day from bushes over which the vine is climbing, but its flight is then swift, and it is difficult to secure, as it often retreats within thorny bushes. In the evening it may be taken plentifully around the flowers of its food plant and also on those of Capparis, &c. 20 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. Observation. — Examples from Ceylon seem to agree fairly well with Zeller's description of tengstrcemi and are, I think, identical. The fore-tibia is thickened apically with scales, and carries two small points which seem to be composed of acuminate scale-tufts ; I should scarcely describe these as " long whitish spines "* which, by Zeller's description, should project from this scale-thickening.

At Madulsima I found it common about half an hour before sunset on a bank covered with rough herbage. This moth seems especially attached to Ageratum conyzoides (" White Weed ") from which I have often disturbed it, but a search on this plant has failed to reveal the larva. Outside of Ceylon, T. wahlbergi has been recorded from South Africa, St. Helena (? introduced), and Queensland. Early Stages. — The early stages and food plant are as yet unknown (unless the larva described under T. xerodes belongs to this species). Eggs laid by captured moths, however, are of a smooth elongate- oval shape and of a very pale shining greenish-white colour. In size they are about • 47 mm. long by about • 32 mm. broad and • 28 mm. high, a transverse section thus being oval. The newly-hatched larva is whitish, with a black head and long black dorsal hairs. I Trichoptiltjs GO$f€i«eTcnT57H^^^- i^g^y^^VA((k. (Plate A., figure 8.) f^J^^^'^^^4-1,) Congrualis.—Wlk., Cat.

C * A larva (supposed to be that of T. xerodes) was found at Peradeniya on P „ ki^ Gynandropsis sp. (Capparid) on December 26, 1907. A description of this -((^ larva reads as follows : — " About 12 mm. long, cylindrical, moderately stout. S^^ . Head yellowish with an orange tinge. Colour of other seginents a uniform fciA' pale yellow. A large brov\Tn latero-dorsal wart emits a long white hair and IX %.(J^ — about five short ones.

A small black subspiracular tubercle emits (i.) a short white * ^Mj}^" hair directed forwards and downwards, (ii.) a longer white hair directed |uA^'^'~" backwards and downwards. Below this and a little behind it is a small "° (K ■ Wack wart emitting a single hair. Towards the ventral surface are two O^Utf un/J ( ? three) small black-warts emitting white hairs. There are numerous small knobbed white secondary hairs. All warts are well raised above the surface of the skin, and the divisions of the segments are well marked." (Plate F., figure 4.) Although the exact identity of this larva is doubtful, its general appearance led me to consider it that of a Trichoptilus, and in this connection it is note- worthy that the Gynandropsis has well-developed sticky glands, as in the case of the other known food plants (Drosera, Boerhavia) of the plumes of this genus. It is possible that the larva may have been that of T. wahlbergi. or / even that of an Oxyptilus, but an examination of plants of Gynandropsis and /£ of Cleomk viscosa will probably settle this question. ^ PLFME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 31 Trichoptilus paludicola, Fletcher.

Early Stages. — These are described in the reference quoted. DIACROTRICHA, Zell. (CosMOCLOSTis, Meyr.) These little moths seem to approach the Alucitina- very closely in some respects ; the single nervure in third segment of hind wing and the single spina of the ? frenulum, however, will serve to show their real affinities with the Platyptiliiue. It appears to me doubtful whether D. fasciola is really congeneric with aglaodesma and its allies {auxileuca, pesseuta, and qiiadriquadra) , for which latter group the name Cosmoclostis may be retained, but in consider- ing a small local fauna it seems inexpedient to multiply genera more than absolutely necessary.

Probably widely distributed in the wetter districts where bilimbi trees are cultivated. Outside of Ceylon this species has been recorded from India, Java, and the Kei Islands. 32 SPOIJA ZEYLANICA. ^ Early Stages. — Larva. — The short, stout, uniformly-coloured larva feeds on the flowers of the " bilimbi " tree {Averrhoabilimbi). The larvae vary much in colour, hardly two being ahke. Uniform yellowish-gray, pale yellow, pale greenish-yellow, pale green, pale pink, and red are all common colours. (Plate F., figures 5 and 6.) Pupa. — The pupa is a very pretty object, being usually a bright light green (sometimes with black markings) with numerous fascicu- lated tufts of yellow spiny hairs. The sketch (Plate F., figure 8), for which I am indebted to Mr. E. Ernest GrQen, gives a good idea of its general appearance. It is generally attached to a flower-stalk, but sometimes to a flower-petal or fruit, or more rarely a leaf, of the food plant. I noticed that those pupae which were formed in my paper-lined boxes were all of a light-gray colour, sometimes with indications of rosy-red markings ; it is possible therefore that this species possesses some degree of colour-adaptability in its pupa. Imago. — The transformations of this species are unusually rapid, the larva suspending itself and pupating in a few hours, the imago emerging after a pupal period of only four or five days. Habits of Imago. — Contrary to the usual habit of plume moths, this speciei appresses itself closely to the surface on which it is resting ; also it frequently settles on the under surface of leaves. It may readily be beaten in the day time from bilimbi trees or from bushes in their vicinity. DiACROTRICHA AGLAODESMA, 3Ieyr. T. E. S., 1886, 12 ; B. J., XVII., 134. Distribution. — Puttalam, Anuradhapura, Kurunegala, Kegalla, Colombo, Trincomalee, Matale, Arawa. Rather scarce ; may be looked for in dry low-country districts. My spoGiniona were SS^a, at light at Trincomalee in November, 1906, and on June 8, 1907. Occurs also in Eastern Australia and in some of the South Pacific and Malayan Islands. DiACROTRICHA PESSEUTA, Meyr. B. J., XVII., 134. Distribution. — Puttalam (in February and April — Pole) ; Ham- bantota (January 12, 1908). This species has not yet been recorded from any locality outside of Ceylon and is evidently an inhabitant of the very dry low-coimtry districts. My single specimen was beaten from a tangled growth of Euphorbia, Capparis, and Vitis quadrangularis. EXELASTIS, Meyr. This genus has lately been founded (B. J., XVII., 730) to include atomosa and liophanes. I give a figure of the neuration (Plate C, figure F), but would call attention to an apparent dis- I PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 33 crepancy between my figure and Mr. Meyrick's diagnosis.' The original description reads, "Forewings .... 8 and 10 stalked, 9 absent, 11 from near angle," but I have considered the formula better expressed by taking 11 as the missing vein and numbering the otliers accordingly. In the hind wings also 5 and 6 are stated to be absent, but are sometimes faintly traceable. Synopsis of the. Species.

The Ceylon form of this moth is smaller and lighter-coloured than the Indian type, from which it may ultimately prove to be specifically distinct, and seems to be decidedly scar(!e and mostly confined to the low-country. The case is very different, however, in India, where E. atomosa is generally distributed tln-oughout the plains and often becomes a serious local pest on crops of Cajanus indicus and Dolichos lablab. Early Stages.— The early stages have not yet been found in Ceylon, but I rather expect that the larva may be found on the flowers of Anacardium occidentals (kadju-nut). ExELASTis LioPHANES, Meyr.

At Weligama the moths were very common around plants of Sida hnmilis, but a search on these yielded nothing. It is a curious fact that in the original drawings* by W. de Alvis for Moore's " Lepidoptera of Ceylon," an unpublished plate ap- parently represents this little moth together with its larva and pupa. They are drawn of the natural size ; the larva is coloured • yellowish-brown, lighter below, with three small black spots on each segment, and moderately hairy ; the pupa very slender, nearly black. The moths are often to be found paired during the forenoon, so that local entomologists who reside on shore should have little difficulty in working out the life-history.

OhservaMon 7.— There is a great deal of variation in this s])eeies :— (1) In Colour. — A specimen from Galle in my collection is ahnost pure white and another from Trincomalee lias the ground-colour almost white ; examples from Madulsima and Maskeliya are coloured a pale yellowish-gray of a tint identical with that seen in a specimen from Silesia ; whilst two individuals from Pattipola and Nuwara Eliya are decidedly a dark gray, the second segment of the fore wing much suffused with fuscous. (2) In Size.— Aho similar differences exist. The specimens from Galle and Trincomalee expand only 13 and 15 mm. respectively; Madulsima examples range from 15 to 17 mm. ; five from Maskeliya are 16, 17, 17, 18, and 22 mm. ; two from Pattipola are 18 and 21 mm. ; and one from Nuwara Eliya attains 22 mm. : Meyrick and Zeller give 18-19 ram. as the expanse of European examples, and my Silesian specimen expands 21 mm. It will be noted that there is a marked increase in the depth of colour and in the size of the specimens as their localities vary from the coast region to the montane district. As regards the latter point it is paralleled in other species, and I have especially drawn attention to it in the case of Steganodactyla concursa. Observation 2.— Some authors have lately identified tliis species with Treitschke's Septodaciyla, which name they then give priority ; but, as this moth has been known all over Europe for the last fifty years under the name of Lienigianus , I fail to see the utility of altering Zeller's name for another , whose ticcuracy is at least doul)tful. Pterophorus sEMATiAS, Meyr. T. E. S., 1907, 496. Distribution.— Mnskeliy a. The unique type-specimen was taken in October. Observation. — Except for the ochreous- white ground-colour of the fore wings, the description of the type of this species seems to apply exactly to up-country specimens of P. lienigianus, of which I am inclined to think that sematias will prove to be only a form.

Early Stages^Larva. — The larva feeds on the young leaves of an I'pomoea, eating the leaves from the outside and not entering within the unexpanded leaf in tlie manner of Steganodactyla concursa. In colour it is of a uniform pale yellowish-green thickly studded witli long fasciculated tufts of whitish hairs, of which those of tlie dorsal row are the longest and sometimes tipped with brown. These hair-tufts are extremely complicated , and their appearance will be best understood from the rough sketch of a larval segment (Plate F., figure 9) ; undei' the microscope these tufts of long hairs recall the armature of spines exhibited by an Echinid, which is very common on rocks along the coast.

PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. , 37 • Explanation of Plates A, B, C, E, and F.* All the figures in plate A have bcerx drawn by Messrs. West, Newman direct from specimens of the various species (all previously unfigurecl), and the artist certainly deserves a word of praise for the manner in which he has carried out his work. I am indebted to Mr. E. Ernest Green for the pencil sketch, of which figure 8 in Plate F. is a reproduction. The remaining figures are from sketches by the author. It must be borne in mind that all the figures in Plates E and F are diagrammatic, only bein.g intended to give a general idea of the objects represented, so that, for example, in the case of larvae, the secondary hairs have as a rule been omitted. It is hardly necessary to add that the figures in all the Plates are considerably magnified ; in the case of Plato A the natural size is shown by the scale against each principal figm-e. Plate A.

B. FLETCHER, R.N., F.E.S., F.Z.S. [Beprinted from " Spolia Zeylanica," Vol. VI., Pari XXIV., May, 1910.] THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. Part II. — The Orneodidse. 150 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. Part II.— The Orneodidse. By T. Bainbrigge Fletcher, R.N., F.E.S.. F.Z.S. (With 2 Plates and 8 Figures.) Introductory. THE Orneodidse, easily recognized and sufficiently characterized by the fact that both wings are cleft into six or more segments, each ciliated on both sides, form an isolated group of Lepidoptera, few in numbers and usually small in size, wliich may be considered as nearly alhed to the Pyralidse with some affinities to the Tineidae. The point to be borne in mind is that the Orneodidse and Ptero- phoridse, although both popularly included under the name of " Plume-moths," do not appear to be at all closely allied to one another. The normal state of affairs in this group is a fission of each wing into six segments, but in Ceylon we find the endemic genus Tris- ccedecia with seven segments in the hindwing and six in the fore wing, this imusual amount of fission forming a parallel to the analogous case of HeptcUoba amongst the Pterophoridse. It is worthy of note, however, that the fissures in Trisccedecia do not extend more than half way into the wing, whilst in Orneodes they reach practically to the base itself ; this appears to indicate a very early divergence from the primitive form, which we may imagine as having had shallow clefts, or more anciently mere scallo pings, in the margin of each wing between the terminations of the nervures. The Omeodid larva and pupa are extraordinarily different from those of the Pterophoridse , and very closely resemble the forms found in the Tineidaj. The larvae of some, but not all, of the species are pecuhar in tlieir habit of burrowing within the flower-stalks, stems, or young shoots of the food plants, in which their presence gives rise to gall-like excrescences. Classification. Hitherto four genera have been recognized in this group — Orneodes Pcelia, Microschismus, and Trisccedecia — of wliich the first and last only have been found in Ceylon, Pcelia being peculiar to South America and Microschismus to South Africa. Microschismus includes two species, Pcelia and Trisccedecia are monotypical, but Orneodes at present consists of some forty species , which have been recorded from every \)».\i of the world. The constituent species of tills THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 151 last genus exhibit remarkable differences inter se, especially in the structure of the palpi, but the group is small, compact, and well characterized, so that it appears undesirable to split it up in the light of our present knowledge. In the presence of the pecuhar costal scale-tufts and in the well-developed maxillary palpi, 0. trachyptera amongst our species in Ceylon seems remote in structural characters from tlie other members of the genus, but, as stated above, it does not appear necessary at present to separate it generically. 0. microscopica is also very distinct from the remaining species by the shallowness of the first cleft in the fore wing and the very stout sixth segment in the hind wing. Distribution in Space and Time. It is especially noteworthy that nearly all the species of Orneodidae hitherto discovered in Ceylon are peculiar to the Island, the mono- typical genus Triscoedecia being indeed unknown outside of Ceylon. With an increase of our knowledge of the Asiatic forms of this group, it is possible that our views regarding their geogi'aphical distribution may require considerable modification, but in the light of what we know at present it is perhaps permissible to deduce a very high antiquity for this little family, such deduction being based logically on the one hand upon the extremely similar but highly peculiar f acies of the members of this group , and on the other hand upon their extremely wide distribution throughout all the zoogeographical regions,* whilst the occurrence of the individual species within very circumscribed areas appears to indicate very limited powers of distri- bution. Except in the case of 0. hexadactyla, which occurs through- out the Holarctic realm {i.e., Europe, N. Asia, and N. America), we know no single instance of an Orneodid species whose distribution extends outside of a very small portion of one of the zoogeographical regions, a state of affairs which appears to point to the fact that these localized species have been evolved witloin very circumscribed areas of space, although the universal distribution of the family forbids us to add the qualification " and of time also." Nothing is known of any Orneodidse in a fossil state. Habits and Life-Histories. So far as Ceylon is concerned it is a matter for regret that, up to the present at least, the information under tliis heading is almost a perfect blank. The few specimens of imagines collected have almost invariably been attracted by light, a method of capture which gives us very little information about their habits in a natural state. I once, however, beat a specimen of 0. montigena at Ohiya, and this was disturbed from a mossy roadside bank, on which it settled again. * No Orneodid has been recorded as yet from New Zealand, although it is reasonable to expect that some species will be found there. The members of this group are, however, rather inhabitants of warm climates. 152 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. Three examples of 0. pygmoea were also beaten at Hambantota from jungle scrub ; two of these pitched on the upper surface of Capparis leaves, and I noticed that they settled on the leaf with outspread wings, then gave a rapid uj)ward jerk with the fore wings and settled down again quite quietly with wings outspread and closely appressed to the surface of ths leaf. In Europe, however, their habits are rather better known, and the following summary is translated from Dr: Hofmann's account of the Orneodidae of the Paleearctic region ("Iris," vol. XI., pp. 342-343) in the liope that it may assist local collectors in elucidating the life- histories of some of these Httle moths in Ceylon : — " The larvae of all the species, so far as they are known, live in the inside of parts of plants, either in the flowers whose filaments and Figure 1. OmeoBti ^all in Scatiosa ColumtaTia. (after Houari— Marcel'ia IV. 33.) styles they consume, or in flower-stalks, branches, and young shoots, in which tbeir presence forms gall-like swellings. " Hitherto only the plant-genera Lonicera, Scabiosa, and Siachys are known to be food plants of Orneodid larvae. " The eggs, as has been directly observed in the case of 0. hexa- dactyla, and highly probably in the case of other species also, are laid on the particular parts of the plants, an introduction of the egg into the interior of the plant not being possible owing to the soft condition of the short and thick female ovipositor. The young larvae must therefore first penetrate into tlieir food plant from the outside. " The larvae living in flowers change their dwelling several times. In general the larvae are slow and sluggish, and move around more smartly only before pupation. Notwithstanding their concealed mode of life, they are frequented not rarely by small Ichneumon flies and Tachinids. TTIK I'UTME-MOTTIS OF CEYLON. 1''^^ " For the i)nrp(>s(^ of pupating, tlie larvae forsako tlie portions of the plant enclosing llieiii and prepare for themselves on the upper surface of the ground an oval cocoon, which is usually coveied with grains of earth or sand, or is composad solely of a wide-meshed web, " On emergence the empty ])u]»a case remains behind in the cocoon "The moths fly voluntarily only towards evening, shortly before and after sunset, around their food i)lants. In repose the hindwings are spread out as in flight, but the segments of the forewings, whicli cover the first two segments of the hindwings, arc so approximated to one another that they occupy only about half the breadth usual in flight, whereby their pattern appears very distinct. The fore part of tlu^ body is raised up a little, the palpi are stretched out horizon- tally and proje(.t widely ; the recurved terminal joint is erected at an acute angle. The antennal flagellum forms with the basal joint, which lies on the fore, part of the eye, an obtuse angle and rests under the wing." • Ovum. The egg of 0. hexadactyla is described by Chapman (Trans. Ent. Soc, London, 1896, p. 1^8) as about -48 mm. long and -28 mm. wide, somewliat cylindrical and truncate, or like a short thick brick with the angles and corners rounded off ; the surface is sculptured with irregular raised lines and pits. In colour it is at first white, then yellow, and finally orange. It is laid on the flower heads of honeysuckle. Larva. Hofmann ("Iris," vol. XI., pp. 339-341) gives the following general description of th^ larva? of the European species of Orneodes : — " The larvEe present nothing very characteristic, and seem very similar to many Tineid and Tortricid larvse ; they are sometimes short and thick, sometimes more elongated, usually tapering ante- riorly or anteriorly and posteriorly, more or less convex dorsally, with a very small head ; the interstices between the segments are well marked, less so in the short thick larva?, more so in the elongated ones, but are always fairly distinct ; an indented transverse line behind their middle shows that the segments are made up of two subsegments ; above the spiracles runs longitudinally a linear mark, below the spiracles a longitudinal swelling (lateral ledge). The skin is covered with fine, pointed, scattered spicules, which arise from globular chitinous appendages. (Only visible under a magnification of about 350.) " The warts are mostly very small, inconspicuous, single-haired ; their position on abdominal segments 1-8 is the same as in the Tineids. I. stands on the back of the anterior, II. on that of the nosterior subsegment, III. again on the anterior over the spiracle, 6(8)10 154 RPOLIA ZBYLANIOA. IV. and V. very near together below the same, and VI. with two hairs directly under these. On the base of the prolegs stand also two warts, one exterior (VII.) and one interior (VIII.). " On the nintli abdominal segment I could only make out four warts on each side : two dorsal ones one beliind the otlier, and two lateral ones one above tlie other. On tlie second and tliird thoracic segments warts I. and II. stand one above the other, each composed of two small single-haired tubercles on a sin^jU somewhat large flat chitinous shield (I.a and 1.6, II.rtandII.6, according to Dyar) ; then follow more distantly below and anteriorly (in the case of grammo- dactyla), III. and IV. likewise one above the other, and still further down comes VI. Wart V. seems to be absent In Orn. hexadactyla III. and'lV. stand horizontally near one another, V. is wanting or is extremely rudimentary. " The first thoracic and the tenth abdominal segments are pro- vided with weak circular cliitinous plates (thoracic shield and anal shield), and are furnished witli numerous small-haired warts. • Figure 2. OiTieoiLi Larva " The tlioracic legs are of the usual pattern, generally weakly chitinized. The prolegs are completely developed circle-feet ; on the anal claspers tlie hooks form a semicircle open posteriorly. It is very notewortliy tliat in very young larvae the prolegs and anal legs are wholly without hooks. " The larvae are unicolorous, yellowisli or reddish-white, witliout markings ; before pupation tliey often assume a reddisli colora- tion." The accompanying sketch (Fig. 2), which must be taken to give a general idea of an Orneodid larva rather than that of any particular species, has been drawn partly from descriptions, partly from pre- served larvae received from Herr A. Bang-Haas, and partly from microscopic preparations of larvae of 0. hexadactyla kindly lent by Dr. T. A. Chapman. Pupa. In their pupal state especially the Orneodidae are seen to be strikingly distinct from the Pterophoridae, with which group, as THE PLUME-MOTHS OF CEYLON. 155 previously pointed out, the Orneodidse have no real relationship, although both group's are popularly included under the same trivial name of " Plume-moths." The pupa of 0. hexadactyla is brown , and resembles in its external appearance the pupae of the true Noctuids, Pyralids, and Tineids ; it is short and squat, and (without regard to minute single hairs, only visible under high magnification) is smooth and glossy. In this respect alone it is strikingly different from the Pterophorid pupa. " The head-plate (Cephalotlieca) is strikingly large (as in many Pyralids and Tineids, whilst in the Pterophorids it is very small). On the lower side of the head-plate upper groove (' OberHppe ') and upper jaw (' Oberkiefer ') are clearly marked, the labial palpi on the contrary only small and indistinct between the roots of the long maxillye ; no traces of maxillary palpi are present. The very slender pro thorax, as well as the mesotiiorax and metathorax, correspond in their j^roportions to those of the imago. Figure 3. Pupa of Orneodes hexadactyla (after Chapman). " TJie forewing-covers are broad with stumpy tips forming almost a right angle , and reach as far as the posterior margin of the fifth abdominal segment ; they are free at their outermost extremity ; through the covers are clearly seen the six segments of the wing as so many dark streaks, segments 1 and 2 connected at their bases, as are also 3, 4, and 5, but 6 quite free. " The hind wings are long and slender, and first disappear under the forewing-covers at the posterior margin of the fourth abdominal segment. " The antenna-sheaths are as long as tlio forewing-covers ; the sheaths of the first and second pairs of legs on the contrary are shorter; of tlie first, the sheatlis of the trochanters and femora (' Hiiften ') occupy a comparatively broad space between the maxillfce and second pair of legs. Tlie thii-d pair of legs lies under the second, and projects freely a httle above tlie wings up to the posterior margin of the sixth abdominal segment. 156 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. "The first four abdominal segments are very broad, and are abuost concealed by the thoi-ax on the one side and the wing- and leg-sheaths on the other. " The much more slender segments 5 and 6 (in the male 7 also, according to Chapman) are freely movable. The likewise very slender segments 7, 8, 9. and 10 (in the male only 8, 9, and 10 — Cliapman) are again firmly ankylosed. and together form the blunt- rounded end of the pupa, which in many species is provided at the tip with a number of hooked unbent hairs. " In the emerged pupa the abdominal segments 7, 8, 9, and 10 are somewhat pushed in under the free edge of the sixth abdominal segment." (Hofmann, I.e., pp. 341-342.) Chapman notes (T. E. S., 189C, pp. 137-139) that " the dehiscence is of very nearly the macro type, the antennae separating from the head, the eye-covers remaining attached to the face-piece. It retains one, and only one, very marked micro character, viz., the Figurel4. , (aj-'fer Cliaf>man^ 1,2,3 lej'er to segments •, e= e^je •, 0.= u.titt-nna ;• 1 -Te^ ; ni - niu.Nilla. . possession of a dorsal head-plate ; not only so, but this plate is of immense size, wliilst the prothorax is (^orrespt>ndingly reduced. Contrarity th^ pupa of Pterophorus retains most of the characters of a micro, the one that it has almost lost is this head -plate, which is nearly evanescent, although it retains the function of carrying the eye-cover on dehiscence. " Both have then been derived from the in'n-vo stiiijs, as we know, indeed, that all ])up8e have been; but the routes have obviously been divided tor so long a period that it is justifiable to describe them as in nowise related, less probably tlian any two families of macros " The dehiscence (of the Orneodid pupa) is quite macro in charac- ter, the antennae separating from the face head parts, which remain attached t(» the eye-covers ; the l<>wei' paits of the a|)i)endagc covers remain in s//^, and are only separated at the Jiead.

The maxiUa and first leg fall short, and expose a portion of the third leg, between and beyond the second. Tlie appendages project freely over the fifth and sixth segments. " The anal armature consists of ten or twelve fine spines, little more than hairs, curved and crossing one another in lyre shape, and having a fine recurved fiattened extremity. There is also a small bristle above and below each (exposed) abdominal spiracle." Key to Genera of Sinhalese Orneodid^.

I took it at Hambantota on October 18 and November 8, 1908. when it ai)peared to be associated with a Capparis , which is possibly its food plant. Although not previously recorded from Ceylon, my collection also contains s]>ecimens from "Matale (August 15, 1906 ; Pole) and from Madulsima in April. 1907 (Vaughan). Outside of Ceylon 0. pygmcea occurs in Queensland at Brisbane and Duaringa, where it is said to swarm sometimes by thousands in the scrub. Mr. Meyrick kindly informs me also that he has received it from Cuddapah, 4,000 feet, in Soutii India {Camphdl). ORNEODES MONTIGENA, M..S. (Plate G, figure 2.) Expanse 10 mnr.

Observation. — This is possibly a montane form of 0. pi/gmcea, Meyr. , from which species it appears to me, however, to be separated by the following characters : (i.) Its larger size ; (ii.) the distinctly annulated antennae, only very faintly marked in pyqmcea ; (iii.) the darker colom- of the abdomen, and especially the absence on segment 2 of the white dorsal patch and lateral blackish blotches so conspicuous in pygmcRfi ; (iv.) the greater breadth of the first segment of the forewing in comparison with the second segment ; (v.) tlie much narrower white bars on the first segment of forewing. A larger series will doubtless settle in the future the question of the specific distinctness of pygmcea and the present form. Orneodes ischaXiEA, Meyr. (Plate G, figure 3.) Orneodes ischalea, Meyrick, B. J., XVI., 583. The original description reads : — " Male 13 mm. Head white, back of crown mixed with fuscoi s. Palpi white, externally fuscous- tinged.

This species was originally described from a shigle specimen taken at Pundahioya in February by Green. I have examples from Madulsima in November, 1906 (Vaiighan) , a^nd from HaldummuUa in October-November, 1908 (Ormiston) , and Mr. Meyrick writes that he has it also from Maskeliya.

This species, which is not as yet known from any locahty outside of Ceylon, was originally described from specimens collected at Madulsima and Wellawaya in November. I have a single example taken at Mankulam in November, 1908 (De Mowbray). Ornbodes postfasciata, n. s. (Plate G, figure 6.) Male. Expanse 15 mm. Labial palpi long, cj/lindrical, white, slightly suffused beneath with yellowish-brown ; third joint about I length of second. Antennae whitish, minutely ciliated. Head and thorax white.

Cilia white, pale brownish opposite dark bars. A distinct little species, easily recognized by its pm-e-white colour and tlie conspicuous dark fascia across the centre of the hindwing. Described from two examples (of which the former is the type) taken by myself at light on Sober Island, in Trincomalce Harbour, on November 4 and December 8, 1906. Mi-. Meyrick, who has kindly examined the type, remarks that lie lias an apparently similar specimen collected in the Central Province by Mr. G. B. de Mowbray. Orneodes sycophanta, Meyr. (Plate H, figure 7.) Orneodes sycophanta, Meyrick, B. J., XVII., 133. " Male and female. A 5-1 8 mm. Head and thorax white. Palpi smooth-scaled, white, apex of basal and second joints and subapical ring of terminal joint dark fuscous. Antennae stout, serrate, whitish-ochreous, basal joint white. Abdomen white, segments 2-4 partially or wholly dark fuscous above (number of dark segments variable). Forewings white ; first segment fuscous, with four blackish white-edged spots, fourth apical ; second segment fuscous, with three dark fuscous bands, limited by white spots edged with blackish-fuscous ; segments 3-6 crossed by two anterior series of undefined dark fuscous dots, and four posterior pale grayish-ochreous fasciae, edged with dark fuscous, but these vary much in distinctness, and are often partially obsolete ; usually a distinct blackish-fuscous spot on middle of sixth segment. Hindwings white, with six transverse series of pale ochreous spots, speckled with black." To the above I would add that the third palpal joint is about f the length of the second ; that the head is white, the crown with large ill-defined blackish spots above and between bases of antennae ; that the legs are whitisli, the fore-femur exteriorly blackisli on terminal half, the fore-tibia blackish with a long scale-tuft t)n inner side ; and that the first segment of the forewing is about twice the breadth of the sect)nd segment. This species only appeare to be known from Maskeliya, where it has been taken by Mi-. Pole in January, April, May, and July. I am indebted to IVIi'. Meyrick for the loan of the specimen from which the figure has been drawn. Obneodes toxophila, Meyr. (Plate H, figure 8.) Orneodes toxophila, Meyrick, B. J., XNll., 133. " Male. 15-16 mm. Head and thorax white. Palpi with appressed scales, wJiite, towards base sprinkled witli fuscous. 164 SPOLIA ZBYLANICA. Antennae ochreous-whitish, basal joint white. Abdomen whitisli- ochreous. Forewings ochreous-whitish, crossed by ill-defined light yellow-ochreous bands before and beyond middle, and a narrow curved darker central fascia, sometimes partially speckled with dark fuscous, not reaching sixth segment, separated from them by fine lines of ground colour ; sometimes a few fine blackish specks on segments ; sometimes a faint yellowish sub terminal line. Hind- wings as forewings, but central fascia fuscous, sprinkled with blackish, entire, dark specks on segments rather more numerous, subterminal line sometimes grayish towards dorsum." This appears to be one of the most widely-distributed of our species of Orneodes. It was originally described from Maskeliya specimens taken by De Mowbray in April and June, and my collection contains examples from this locality in January and March {De Mowbray). I also have it from Madulsima in October ( Vaughan) , from Bibile in November, 1907 {Mackwood), and from Kegalla in October- November. 1908 {Ormiston) , and at lamp in bungalow at Kegalla (1,000 ft.) on October 11, 1909 [Ormiston). Outside of Ceylon 0. toxophila occurs in South India. Mi'. Mey- rick informs mo that he has received this species from N. Coorg, 3,500 feet {Neiocomhe). The British Museum collection also contains two specimens from the Nilgiri Hills (Hampson) ; Sir George Hamp- son kindly informs me that these were collected by him in September at Nadgani (3,000 feet), on the western slopes of the Nilgiris. Orneodes thapsina, Meyr. (Plate H, figure 9.) Orneodes thapsina, Meyrick, B. J., XVI., 583. "Male. 21 mm. Head whitish-ochreous, crown ochreous-yellow. Palpi and antennte ochreous-whitish.

This is another species which is so far known only from the Maskeliya district, where the type-specimens were taken in October and January. My two examples, for which I am indebted to Messrs. Pole and De Mowbray, were botli collected at light in September. Orneode.s microscopica , n. s. Male. Expanse 7 mm.
