This species is one of the very few Lepidoptera associated with the 

 tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). The larvae mine the bark and 

 are quite common in the neighborhood of Washington City and 

 further south. Large numbers of larvae and pupae were collected 

 by Mr. J. E. Smith during the spring and early summer of 1913 at vari- 

 ous points in North and South Carolina. From these several moths 

 were reared during May, June, and July of the same year. The writer 

 has collected full grown larvae in the neighborhood of Washington 

 during late August and had them bring forth moths during Septem- 

 ber. In one instance a full grown larva was found by Mr. T. E. 

 Snyder of the Bureau of Entomology as late as December 21, 1912. 

 The species evidently overwinters as larva in the mine and quite
