micropetala (the species which was mistaken for it) occurred 
on all the Islands. The leaf mines that had been found in 
Pipturus up to that time, I had taken to be all of the same spe- 
cies of moth. Since then I have discovered several other species 
in different places by rearing them from the mines in the leaves. 
Philodoria floscula Walsm. 
Fauna Hawaiiensis, I, p. 718, Pl. XXV, fig. 21, 1907. 
This species was described from Hilo and Olaa, Hawaii. I 
have collected it on Pipturus at Mountain View, Hawaii, March 
31, 1906. 
Philodoria pipturicola Swezey. 
Proceedings Hawaiian Entomological Society, III, p. 96, 1915. 
This species was reared from mined leaves collected from 
Pipturus in the forest above Punaluu, Oahu, September 13, 
1914, and above Wailuku, Maui, December 9, 1922. 
Philodoria pipturiella n. sp. 
Antennae brownish; palpi white inwardly, externally brownish at apical 
portion of median and terminal joints; head and thorax grayish brown. 
Fore-wings bronzy brown, costal margin narrowly white to about two- 
thirds, where a white spot projects inward, pointing obliquely outward; 
sometimes the white on costa extends only half-way to this spot; a large 
nearly circular white spot in middle of wing at about one-third the fold 
which traverses its center; a large white spot at tornus, an orange spot 
opposite it on costa, narrowly separated from it by a metallic blue patch 
which widens apically; beyond the blue patch a large orange patch ocecu- 
pies the remaining apical portion of the wing except a small apical black 
spot followed by metallic blue in the apical cilia; cilia otherwise brownish, 
with two white spots in the costal cilia above the orange patch. Expanse 
of wings 5-6 mm. Hind-wings brownish as in fore-wings, cilia paler brown. 
Abdomen bronzy brown, whitish beneath. Legs pale brownish, whitish 
beneath.
