Xanara, Manchikeri, bred in May from larvae mining in leaves 

 of Biitea frondosa (Leguminosce) (Maxivell) ; Bengal, Pusa, bred in 

 February from larvae mining in leaves of Cajanus Indicus (^FhtcJter) ; 

 it may therefore probably feed in some other Leguminosce. Larva 

 mines a blotch beneath upper cuticle of leaf, building up two heaj.s 

 of excrement, between which the larva rests in a covered passnge 

 leading ol)liquely to underside of leaf, where a small open doer 

 exists in a dry opaque patch ; cocoon external, oval {21a,vwell). 



Lithocolletis virgulata Meyr. 



An example received from Mr, Fletcher, reared (with others) 

 from larvae mining blotches on upper surface of leaves of BuUa 

 frondosa, pupating within the mine. This is normal for the genus
