Case cylindrical, mouth bent over but not projecting beyond the 

 level of its lower side, apex triangular, its three angles somewhat 

 flattened, the whole dull greyish ochreous ; long. 13 mm. 



Bred by Baron von Hedemann, but the plant not identified. The 

 larva was found on stone fences by Mr. Gudmann. 



This species belongs to the group of troglodytella, Dp. &c, and 

 is very similar to some of the European species ; the mouth of 

 the case is. how ever, more distinctly at a right angle to the case 

 itself, and it is somewhat stouter in proportion to its length. 



116. Coleophora picticornis, sp. n. 



Antennae, stout, shorter than the fore wings ; white, with four 

 eivvish-fuscous bands towards the apex. Palpi somewhat long 

 and slender, slightly recurved, smooth, apical joint slightly shorter
