NOVEMBER, 1859. 



85 



incisions, and their ends on the sides mammillated, the rings 

 themselves being rather elongated ellipsoids. 



The thoracic feet are three* and mere mammillae; the 

 abdominal three,f but their appearance not very distinct, and 

 a terminal pair. The larva approaches that of the second 

 group of Lithocolletis very closely. 



The mine is a conspicuous white blotch on the upper 

 surface, generally occupying the greater portion of the leaf, 

 and sometimes, when two are present in the same leaf, the 

 whole of it. A day or two previously to undergoing its last 

 moulting, the larva ceases to eat, and at the end of that time, 

 leaving its " cast" within the mine, abandons it to construct a 

 white silken cocoon, which is 

 woven on some substance on 

 the surface of the ground. 



The perfect insect holds the 

 antennas extended at the sides 

 When at rest, and moves them 

 with a rotatory motion during 

 progression. 



153L. amphica?yecsfoliella. Head golden, with fuliginous 

 hairs above. Antennae golden-brown, with the tips silvery- 

 white. Thorax golden, fuliginous in front, and abdomen 

 golden-brown. Fore-wings deep orange-yellow, with the 

 apical portion dark golden-brown, and a fuliginous or deep 

 brown patch occupying the basal part of the wing, bordered 

 broadly behind by a circular golden streak, extending from 

 the costa to the inner border at the basal angle. A very 

 oblique, somewhat curved, golden streak, dark-margined on 

 both sides, extends from the basal third of the wing, near the 

 costa, to the middle of the costa. A large golden patch, 

 dark-margined above, extends from the inner angle to the 

 middle of the wing, with the inner margin between it and 



* Pail's, of course; why the three is italicised I cannot conceive. H. T. S.
