 a round pale golden -metallic tornal spot edged laterally with black; 

 apex slightly yellowish-tinged : cilia white, round apex somewhat 

 yellowish-tinged, with two fine oblique dark fuscous lines through

 cilia white. 



Xanaka, Kumbarwada, in December (Macviuell) ; one specimen. 



Leucoptera periphracta, u. sp. 



(S . 6 mm. Head and thorax shining white. Abdomen whitish. 

 Forewiugs lanceolate ; shining white ; two fine oblique rather 

 darli fuscous lines from costa reaching ^ across wing, first beyond 

 middle, preceded by an oval blotch of pale bronzy-yellowish, 

 suffusion, second at | ; a short fine erect grey line from tornus, 

 preceded by a spot of pale yellowish suffusion : cilia white, with 

 two fine oblique grey lines in costal cilia, second continuous with 

 a strong black line limiting yellowish-tinged basal third round 

 termen to tornus. Hindwings whitish ; cilia white. 



UuiiENSLAND, Cairns, in November (Dodd) ; one specimen. 



Phyllocnistis chrysophtlialma, n. sp. 



2 . 5 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, ;ind abdomen silvery-white. 

 Antennae yellow-whitish, basal joint feilverj--white. I'oreMings 

 lanceolate, apex acute, ])roduced, downturned ; silvery-white ; a 

 suffused golden-yellow oval blotch extending in disc from | to 

 middle, reaching fold and almost costa, edged beneath by a very 

 faint greyish line ; posterior half of wing wholly suffused with 

 pale whitish-yellowish ; a fine direct fuscous line from middle 

 of costa reaching half across wing ; an inwardly oblique fine 

 fuscous transverse line at |, hardly perceptibly outwards-curved; 

 a largo round black apical dot partly in cilia, preceded by a 

 SQiall silvery-white dot : cilia whitish-yellowish, with two fine 

 oblique dark grey lines in costal cilia towards apex, one above 

 apex, two diverging posteriorly from apex, one beneath apex,

Kanaka, Karwar, bred in March (Maxwell) ; three specimens. 

 Larva mining blotches in leaves of Cinnamoiman zeylanivum 

 (Lauraceae) ; blotch under lower cuticle, elongate, wandering, 

 course of larva marked by excrement forming wavy continuous 

 fine dark line ; pupa internal at extremity of blotch, puckering 

 the leaf shaxiAy {Ala xwell). Also a fourth specimen quite identical 

 from larva mining blotch on underside of leaves of " bindal," an 

 undetermined shrub {Maxwell). Differs from ciirella by absence 

 of lines from base, distinct golden-yellow blotch, first costal line 

 direct (not outwardly oblique), second inwardly oblique (not 

 direct), apical half of wing wholly yellowish-tinged. This and the 

 three following species are all very closely allied with citrclla and
