449 Jour., Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc., Vol. XXIII, No, 1. {June 30, 1914, 
Pykara, 7000 ft., Nilgiris, in April (Andrewes). Allied to conformis; a 
large and distinct species. 
Lithocolletis virgulata, 0. sp. ; 
3d. 6mm. Head and palpi whitish. Forewings narrow-lanceolate ; 
ochreous-chestnut-brown; an irregular whitish median basal streak to i, 
irregularly irrorated with black, and connected with dorsum near base by 
a mark of black irroration; three somewhat inwardly oblique whitish 
transverse fascize, angulated above middle, lower portion sometimes mostly 
suffused with groundcolour, their margins marked with black irroration, 
posterior margins strongest but interrupted above angle, posterior margin 
of third running into apex: cilia whitish-ochreous, round apex irrorated 
with black points. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, 
Manchikeri, Kanara, bred in May, from cocoons found on a Ficus 
(Maxwell) ; two specimens. It is exceptional for a Lithocolletis larva to 
pupate outside the mine. Mr. Maxwell writes “The noticeable thing was 
the extremely large size of the cocoon itself in proportion to the msect ; the 
tree is a common one, but I have never noticed the cocoons elsewhere.” 
The species is allied to conformis, but very distinct. 
Acrocercops civicd, D. 8p. 
$2. 6mm. Head whitish mixed with fuscous. Palpi with appressed 
scales, white, with two bands on second joint and three on terminal dark 
fuscous. Thorax brownish irrorated with dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, 
beneath white, sides irregularly barred with dark fuscous. Forewings 
extremely narrow, elongate-lanceolate; brownish, irrorated with dark 
fuscous, costa suffused with dark fuscous, dorsum sometimes more or less 
strigulated with white; four transverse fascie composed each of a pair of 
white striczs more or less connected in disc but separated with dark fuscous 
at extremities, more widely on dorsum, first at 3, second beyond middle, 
third at 2, fourth at 4, less well marked; a slender white transverse bar 
before apex, enlarged on costa and sometimes containing a dark fuscous 
speck: cilia pale grey, round apex with two dark grey lines. Hindwings 
grey ; cilia light grey. 
Karwar, Kanara, bred in July (Maxwell); ten specimens. Larva bright 
red, mining blotches in leaves of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), many 
larvee in each leaf; pupa orange, in external detached oval orange cocoon 
(Maxwell). Allied to ordinatella. 
Acrocercops pentalocha, Meyr. 
Larva mining blotches in leaves of Mango (Mangifera indica) ; pupa in 
external white flat oval cocoon (Maxwell). 
Acrocercops cathedr@a, Meyr. 
Larva mining inconspicuous galleries in leaves of “ Kungina”’ creeper. 
Acrocercops cylicota, n. sp. 
3. 7mm. Head shining white, face grey. Palpi slender, whitish, 
second joint suffused with dark grey towards apex, terminal joint with two 
rings and apex dark fuscous. Thorax shining white, with lateral ochreous- 
bronze stripes. Abdomen dark grey, beneath white, segmental edges dark 
fuscous. Forewings very narrow, elongate-lanceolate ; ochreous-bronze ; 
three shining white dorsal blotches edged with black, first antemedian, 
triangular, reaching costa, on dorsum rather broadly extended to base, 
second postmedian, rounded-triangular, not quite reaching costa, third 
narrow-oblong, extending along termen to near apex; a white apical dot: 
cilia grey, with a white patch on terminal blotch. Hindwings rather dark 
grey ; cilia grey. 
Karwar, Kanara, bred in June (Maxwell); one specimen. Larva mining 
blotches in leaves of Colebrookea oppositifolia (Labiate) ; pupa in cocoon in 
folded edge of leaf (Maxwell).
