 lem cemetery," and " beLind the French cemetery, among the scrub " 

 {^atoii). Seven specimens. 



An inconspicuous species, but 1 am quite unable to identify it 

 under any hitherto published dcscri[)tion, it is perhaps most nearly 

 allied to conrferiella, Stgr.

Hah.: ALGERIA— Tlammam-es-Salahin, 2-12.lV.1901. Larva 

 Salvia aegj/ptiaca, III — IV, excl. 21.1V. 1904. Thirteen specimens. 



1 have long been acquainted with this inconspicuous species in 

 its larval state. My attention was first called to it by Mr. Eaton, but I 

 had great difficulty in rearing it. The case is formed of a single long 

 leaflet of the food-plant, mined and hollowed-out for the reception of 

 the larva. It retains the form of the leaf, the anterior opening being 

 scarcely oblique, ihe corrugated edges of the long pale brown case 

 being more conspicuous toward the top than along the middle, the 

 pale mid-rib of the leaf being visible throughout. I took eight 

 specimens on April 24th, together with several cases from which the 

 type emerged the same day. 



3886 : 1. — CoLEoriiouA gymnocaupei.la, sp. n. 



Antennae whitish cinereous, annulate with fuscous. Palpi short, scarcely pro- 

 jecting beyond the head ; whitish cinereous. Head and Thorax whitish cinereous, 

 sprinkled with fuscous. Forewings whitish cinereous, sparsely sprinkled with 

 fuscous scales, and with a slight greyish fuscous suffusion at the base, gradually 

 diluted outward, leaving the eosta narrowly free and of the pale ground-colour 

 throughout ; cilia pale brownish grey, whitish cinereous on the costa and at the 

 apex. Exp. at., 8—9 mm. Sindioiiigs slightly shining, pale greyish ; cilia pale 

 brownish grey. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs pale greyish.
