bent outwards, the third one of these meets a white line outwardly

 four white and four fuscous spots, terminal cilia fuscous, yellowish 

 at base. Expanse of wings 9-llmm. Hind wings and cilia light fus- 

 cous. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs ochreous, fore and mid tibiae

HAB. Mt. Taiitalns, Oalm, March 16, 1915. Eight spec- 

 imens reared from mines in the leaves of Ureiu sandiricpnsis, 

 at the same time and from the same lot of leaves as the preced- 

 ing. 



MIXE. The mine is very slender where it starts from an 

 egg placed on the nnder side of the leaf, it gradually widens as 

 the larva grows, hecomes serpentine and towards the last en- 

 larges to a blotch. The larva emerges to spin its whitish cocoon 

 on the surface of the leaf. The moths emerged from the cocoons 

 in about ten days.

Antennae dark fuscous. Palpi whitish, median joint slightly fus- 

 cous externally. Head and thorax slaty fuscous. Forewings with basal 

 portion fuscous to about one-third of costa and to two-thirds of dor- 

 sum, beyond this orange; a white line on costa from near base to 

 about two-thirds, where it bends inward and extends a little farther to 

 join a transverse white band at the end of the cell, this band widest 

 in the middle where it has mostly pale-blue scales; an oblique white 

 spot near middle of cell, sometimes reaching dorsum; cilia fuscous 

 with two white spots in costal cilia, one of them at the end of trans- 

 verse white band, the other smaller and a little nearer the apex; a
