1220 Jour., Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc., Vol. XXIIL, No.1. — [June 30, 1914, 
white, patagia bronzy. Abdomen grey, apex dark fuscous, ventral surface 
white, segmental margins dark fuscous. Forewings extremely narrowly 
elongate-lanceolate ; bronzy-fuscous ; a moderate white streak along dorsum 
from base to tornus, its posterior fourth forming a semioval dilation reaching 
2 across wing, edge otherwise straight ; a somewhat oblique white strigual 
from 2 of costa, running into a subtriangular white prieapical fascia whose apex 
narrowly reaches costa, limiting a black apical dot: cilia grey, round apex 
white, with a grey bar below apex, and a black subbasal hook at apex. 
Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 
Karwar, Kanara, bred in July (Maxwell) ; two specimens. Larva mining 
a compact blotch in Ieaves of Mango (Mangifera indica) ; pupa in a detached 
oval brownish-yellow cocoon on surface of leaf (Maxwell). The species is 
very similar to preclusa, but differs by the costal strigula running into 
preeapical fascia, and conspicuous dark apex of abdomen. 
“Acrocercops vanula, Meyr. 
Larva mining large blotches in leaves of Terminalia tomentosa (Combretacce); 
pupa yellowish, in large oval cream-coloured cocoon spun usually on vein 
inside the mine, the cuticle subsequently peelmg off and leaving the cocoon 
exposed ; this seems the normal arrangement, but in eaptivity the larva 
sometimes makes an external cocoon in a recess on surface of leaf (Maxwell). 
Mr. Maxwell writes “ The imago is peculiar in that whenever observed, even 
while at rest, it has been found to stand high on its legs quivering contmu- 
ously; I have bred it frequently at different times for two years, and this 
characteristic is always present, though not noticed im any other 
Acrocercops.” , 
Acrocercops elaphopa, . sp. 
g. 7mm. Head and thorax light grey. Palpi slender, whitish. Abdo- 
men grey, segmental margins white beneath, apex dark fuscous. Forewings 
very narrowly elongate-lanceolate ; glossy grey, darker towards apex ; costal 
and dorsal transverse whitish strigulze at +, almost meeting; a round black 
apical spot, finely edged with whitish: cilia light grey, round apex witha 
subbasal dark fuscous line preceded and followed by whitish. Hindwings 
rather dark grey ; cilia light grey, with faint purple tinge. 
Karwar, Kanara, bred in July (Maxwell); one specimen. Bred from an 
external oval cocoon on depressed vein on surface of leaf of “ Total” 
creeper; identification of plant promised later (Maxwell). Allied to 
sauropis. 
Acrocercops citrodora, n. Sp. 
gd. 8mm. Head and thorax whitish-yellow, patagia rather dark 
fuscous. Palpi slender, whitish, apex of second joint and a submedian 
ring of terminal joint fuscous. Forewings very narrow, elongate-lanceolate ; 
dark fuscous ; a whitish-yellow streak along dorsum from base to ¢ of wing, 
its upper edge forming two oblique wedge-shaped projections; a yellow- 
whitish dot in disc just beyond this; a flattened-triangular whitish-yellow 
spot extending along dorsum from middle of wing to tornus, emitting 
posteriorly a fine oblique strigula towards apex of wing; apex of wing 
ehestnut-brown, preceded by a spot of blackish suffusion which is edged 
anteriorly by silvery-white costal and terminal dots : cilia rather dark grey, 
round apex with base purple-white edged by a dark purple-fuscous line. 
Hindwings dark grey ; cilia rather dark grey. 
N. Coorg, at 3,500 feet, in January (Newcome) ; one specimen. Perhaps 
allied to telearcha, but very distinct. 
Acrocercops barringtoniella, Dev. 
Bred by Mr. Maxwell from larvse mining blotches in leaves of Careya 
arborea (Lecythidacez) ; has been reared previously from Barringtonia, which 
belongs to the same natural order.
