imago issues. Some of the larvie spun their (.-ocoons inside the niiiiv', 

 but this is probal>ly not the rule under luitunil conditions. l\ip;i 

 stage lasted in warm room (approximateh' normal temperature for 

 the insect) about eighteen days. 



NEALYDA KINZELELLA, new species. 



Antennse f, finely serrate, dark fuscous with indistinct whitish 

 annulations. Labial palpi yellowish brown with l)lack shadings 

 beneath. Face and head light yellowish brown. Thorax light rich 

 brown; basal half of forewing light brown, the color graduall}^ 

 becoming darker outwardly and terminating in a deep velvety brown, 

 transverse fascia at middle of wing, on the outside edged with a thin 

 line of white scales. The fascia is more thickly scaled than the rest of 

 the wing and protrudes in a small dorsal scale tooth. Ground color 

 of apical half of wing silvery white, thickly suffused with black, fus- 

 cous and bluish scales. An ill-defined group of dark scales at begin- 

 ning of cilia is edged below with a few brown scales; another at apex 

 also has a few brown scales below; at tornus a nearly black spot. 

 Entire apical edge nearly black; cilia silvery grey overlaid with black 

 atoms. Hindwings silvery grey. Abdomen purplish black; under- 

 side silvery; legs light brown with black bars on the outside, tarsi 

 with black annulations. 



Alar expanse, 5.5 to 6.5 mm. 



Described from 5 specimens, reared from upper surface, trumpet- 

 formed blotch mines on leaves of Pisonia ohtmata. 



Collected by Dr. Dyar at Palm Beach, Florida.

This species is very near to the type of the genus, hifideUa Dietz, 

 but besides minor colorational differences it is a much smaller insect. 



Egg is laid on upper side of leaf. Larva, when full grown, is 4.5 

 mm. long; looks through the leaf like a Lithocolletis larva of the flat 

 type. Also the mine might be mistaken for a Lithocolletis mine. 

 Cocoon outside mine on leaf snow white, oval, flat, very densely 

 spun. Pupa not protruding when imago issues. 



I have named this species in honor of the botanist, Mr. F. Kinzel, 

 to whom I am indebted for all but one of the plant identifications.

ANACAMPSIS LAGUNCULARIELLA, new species. 



(Plate I, fig. 6.) 



Antennae light brown with darker annulations. Labial palpi very 

 long, smooth, recurved; second joint thickened with appressed scales, 

 deep black, apex light brown; third longer than second, yellowish
