 pale oclireuus-grc)'.

Acrocercops cramerella Snell. 

 I identify as tliis a si)ocies reared in September from larvic 

 mining in leaves of mahogany, ISwietenia {Mcliacece), at Uelgachia, 

 India {Fletc/ier). The species was described from Java; the 

 exaiuplo sent agrees well with the description (which however is 

 not very detailed), but lias tufts of scales projecting from dorsal 

 margin, which are not mentioned ; these indicate affinity with 

 auriciUa JStaint., which I do not yet possess.
