as A. biviella. trigrapha, bella, etc. Prof. Xeller's figure and description 

 leave no doubt as to the identity of the species described so nearly at the 

 same time respectively by him and by me. 



ANTISPILA. 



A. ampelopsiella Cham. 



In Vol. 6 I have given this name to a mine and larva found in leaves 

 of Ampelopsis quinquefolia, the imago being then unknown. I have also, 

 loc. at, described a species bred from Grape leaves, without naming it, 

 because I thought it probable that it would prove to be ampelopsiella, 

 Since then I have bred it both from Ampelopsis and from Wild Grape 

 leaves ( Vitis cordifolia), and it proves to be the same species described in 

 Vol. 6. The description, however, is imperfect, having been prepared 

 from a single slightly worn specimen. 



A. hydrangeceelld Chain. 



This species was also named from the larva and mine only. 1 have 

 since bred it. it is a little larger than ampelopsiella, though scarcely so 

 large as Isabella or vitkordifoliella, and is perhaps the prettiest species of 

 the genus. The palpi and tips of the antennae (last five joints), and the 

 under side of a few of the basal joints snowy while. Head, thorax, abdo- 

 men, inner surface of legs, hind femora, and tibial spurs of hind legs, like 

 burnished steel ; tarsi of anterior and middle legs and tips of hind tarsi 

 yellowish white, posterior tibice on outer surface and tarsi, except the tips, 

 purplish with metallic reflections ; anterior wings and a spot on each side 

 of the thorax bronzy brown, without greenish reflections ; ciliae purple 

 tipped with silvery gray. The fascia, costal and dorsal streaks and apical 

 spot are brilliant silvery ; the fascia is not constricted on the fold and 

 the streaks are placed as in the other species ; the costal spot is small and 

 the dorsal large and almost an exact triangle, being, however, a little 

 widest on the base and the margins very faintly concave. Hind wings 

 and cilia: pale purplish fuscous. 



It thus differs from ampelopsiella in having the tips of the antennae 

 white and in other minute particulars. The case in which it pupates is 

 elongate and narrow, a long ellipse ; that of ampelopsiella is a short and 

 wider ellipse, that of vitkordifoliella is nearly oval, that of Isabella a very 

 wide oval, almost circular, and that of eornijoHella is smaller than that of
