rest normal. Feet represented by a transverse ellipse of crotchets narrowly broken 

 on the inner side. 



Coleophora ochripennella. 



Cervical shield (prothoracic) large, supplemented by a second (mesothoracic) 

 one, small, widely bisected into two triangular halves. Set?e fine, short, greatly 

 reduced, without tubercles; i small, dorsad to ii; iv and v apparently in line; v 

 much shorter than iv, all very difficult to distinguish, and I cannot feel sure of their 

 position. Feet nearly obsolete, represented by two transverse rows of very few 

 crotchets. 



Tischeria complanella. 



Flattened, evidently a leaf miner; cervical shield sub-corneous. Setoe very 

 obscure, rudimentary, no tubercles; iv and v appear on the lateral bulging outline 

 of the segments, moderately appro.Kimate, iv a little dorsad to v. Legs absent, 

 even the thoracic feet reduced to little rounded stumps. 



Family ORNEODID^. 



Orneodes hexadactyla. 



Cervical shield not corneous, practically absent. Setae moderately distinct, 

 single, from minute tubercles; i and ii remote, i dorsad to ii; iii lateral; iv and v 

 closely approximate, iv slightly dorsad to v; vi sub-ventral; vii of three setae on 

 base of leg; viii normal. Feet moderate with a single circle of crotchets. An 

 arrangement perfectly typical for the Cossina. 



Family HETEROGYNID.F:. 



Heterogynis paradoxa. 



Body robust, thickenetl, head retractile, resembling the Anthrocerina; setae 

 single, fine but distinct; iv and v approximate, almost in line transversely; vi 

 represented by two setae; the rest normal for the Cossina. Crotchets of abdominal 

 feet forming a dense semicircle on the inner half of the planta. 



Family PTEROPHORID.^i. 



I am now able to give some details for this family. 



Lioptilus scarodactylus. 



Setce simple, coarse and distinct, arising from small cup-shaped tubercles; i 

 and ii nearly in line, scarcely approximate, being separated by one-third the length 

 of the segment; iii above and a little before the spiracle; iv and v closely approxi- 

 mate, sub-stigmatal, iv slightly dorsad to v; vi sub-ventral; vii of three setas; viii 

 present but small. Feet slender, small with only two or three crotchets like little 

 claws curved inward, representing an inner segment of a circle. No secondary 

 hairs, though the body is thickly clothed with small, round, brown, corneous areas. 



Lioptilus microdactylus. 



SetK as in the preceding species, but finer and less distinct; the upper of the 

 three setae of vii is longer than the others. The minute corneous areas on the skin
