 gin, midway between this and 



the band; cilia somewhat coppery, and rather grayish at 

 the inner angle. Hind-wings purple-brown ; cilia grayish- 

 ochreous. 



The larva mines the leaves of Nysa * multiflora in Sep- 

 tember. The head is dark brown; first segment dark 

 brownish ; body very pale green, with dark atoms along the 

 dorsum ; ventral surface with a line of two black spots. 

 After the last moulting the first segment is black, and the 

 dorsal spots become a black, vascular line. When full fed 

 the larva weaves an oval cocoon within the mine, and cutting 

 the two skins of the leaf into a correspondent form, permits 

 it to fall to the ground. There is thus left an oval hole in 

 the deserted mine. The imagos appear during the following 

 May. 



C/rl,. '■,/ A. cornifoliella. Head, face, labial palpi, and fore-feet 

 dark brown. Antennas dark brown ; basal joint somewhat 

 ochreous. Fore-wings rather dull dark brown, with a 

 coppery hue. Near the base is a rather narrow, golden 

 band, not constricted on the fold, and rather indistinct 

 toward the costa, where it is somewhat suffused with a 

 coppery hue, and nearest the base on the inner margin. At 

 the apical third of the wing is a small golden spot, and 

 nearly opposite, on the inner margin, another of the same 

 hue, with the hinder portion of the wing tinged with a bright 

 reddish coppery hue ; cilia dark grayish. Hind-wings pur- 

 plish-brown ; cilia somewhat paler, with a coppery hue. 



The larva mines the leaves of Cornus Jlorida in Sep- 

 tember. It may possibly be a variation of Nyscefoliella.
