Leucoptera coffeella Guer. 



cJ $ . 5 mm. Head, thorax white, crown roughly tufted. Fore-

As I am not aware of any sufficient description of this species, 

 1 describe it from G examples bred from larvae mining leaves of 

 coffee at Kabete, Kenya Colony [Box). It is nearest daricella, 

 which has white hindwings and feeds on Plnmhago.
