Gelechia dubitella, Cham. Larva folds a leaf so as to form a case, in 

 which it feeds. 



Gelechia chambersella, Murtfeldt. Larvafeeds externally ou the leaves. 



Heliopsis (various species). Oxeye. 



Tischeria heliopsisella, Chain. Larval habit as in Ambrosia trijida 



{supra). 



Helianthus (various species). Sunflowers. 



Lithoeolletis ambrosiwella, Cham. Larval habit as in Ambrosia trijida 

 {supra). 



Lithoeolletis helianthivorella, Cham. Larval habits as in the last 

 species {ambrosiceella); that is, it lives in a tentiform under-side mine. 



Glyphipteryx montisella, Cham. Imago found on the flowers in Au- 

 gust. Larva unknown. 



Erechtites hieracifolius. . Fire-weed. 



Phylloenistis ereehtitisella, Cham. Imago unknown. Larva in a long, 

 narrow, linear, winding mine in upper surface of the leaves. 



AQUIFOLIACE^. 



Ilex opaca. Holly.* 



Cryptolechia cryptoleehiella, Cham. Larva sews together the leaves. 

 (Having only a leaf, I am not certain of the plant.) 



EBENACEJE. 



Diospyros yirginiana. Persimmon. 



Aspidisca diospyriella, Cham. Larva in a minute blotch mine, from 

 which it cuts out a case iu which it pupates. 



PEDIULACE^. 



Lysimachia lanceolata. Loose-strife. 



Lithoeolletis lysimachiceella, Cham. Imago unknown. Larva in a small 

 tentiform mine in under surface of leaves. 



LABIATE. 



Scutellaria (various species). Skullcap. 



Gelechia scutellariceella, Cham. Larva iu a case attached to the under 

 side of the leaves, and from which it mines out the parenchyma between 

 the cuticles. 



CONVOLVULACE.E. 



Ipomea and Pharbites (various species). Morning Glory. 



Bedellia sornnulentella, Staintou. Larva makes a web on under side 



* Iu Washington, D. C. iu January, I have fouud empty mines of two species of Ti- 

 neina, both of which are undescribed. They were found in leaves of different species 

 of Holly. One miue is probably that of a Lithoeolletis larva, of the flat group, in leaves 

 of I. opaca. The other is probably that of a Xeptieula, and was in leaves of another 

 species.
