138 [May, 



Fore-wings, greyish-brown, the costal margin throughout distinctly white, dorsal 

 margin narrowly white ; a white streak along the lower edge of the fold, and a 

 second streak above the fold, commencing near its base and ending in the dorsal 

 margin beyond its outer extremity ; cilia of the costal and apical margins whitish, 

 those of the dorsal margin pale greyish-brown. 



Hind-wings, pale greyish-brown, with slightly paler cilia. 



Abdomen, pale greyish-brown. 



Legs, whitish, faintly touched with greyish-browu on the hind tarsal joints. 



Exp. al., 10 mm. 



Hah. : Cannes. Type, ^ ? , Mus., Wlsm. 



The larva feeds on Saiureia montana on the slopes of the hills 

 above the water canal to the east of Cannes. It forms its case by 

 mining and cutting off one of the minute leaflets, the shape of which 

 is well preserved, to this it usually attaches a second mined leaflet as 

 its growth proceeds, and this second leaflet is sometimes fixed obliquely 

 at the apex of the first, giving the case a somewhat angulated 

 appearance. 



The species appears to be allied to C. sarothamni (the calycoto- 

 mella of Milliere), but it is much smaller; the white streaks are more 

 distinct and uniform, with an almost total absence of the intermediate 

 slender branches, or streaklets, observable in the larger insect. The 

 case is also widely different. Mons. Ragonot considers it close to 

 gypsopJiilella, but decidedly distinct. . 



COLEOPHORA ST^HELINELLA, Sp. tl. 



AntenncB, white, the basal joint thickened with scales beneath, but not tufted. 



Palpi, white. 



Head, white. 



Thorax, hoary-white, with a greyish-brown, longitudinal, median line. 



Fore-ioings, hoary- white, with slender cinereous lines somewhat clearly defined ; 

 of these the most important starts from the base above the middle, and is con- 

 tinued somewhat widely to nearly the middle of the wing-length, whence it is 

 depressed towards the doi'sal margin before the apex, and emits from its upper edge 

 four slender parallel streaks, which extend outwards to the costal margin, the outer 

 one nearly reaching the apex ; above its basal half is a slender detached sub-costal 

 streak, and a few cinereous scales about the base of the costa ; from below the base 

 of this central streak is emitted another slender streak, running above and parallel 

 to the fold, reaching the dorsal margin at one-third from the apex, and continued 

 around the dorsal margin and apex to the costal margin, where it ceases, nearly 

 opposite to the point at which it struck the dorsal margin after receiving at least the 

 outer three of the costal branches of the central streak ; another cinereous streak 

 lies below the fold, and the dorsal margin itself is narrowly cinereous as far as the 

 end of this streak, or for rather more than half of the wing-length ; costal and 

 apical cilia white, but a strong brownish-grey sliade runs along their middle, being 

 diffused beneath the apex, and overspreading nearly the whole width of the dorsal 

 cilia.
