Eucosma fenella, Wism., A. M. N. H. (7), VI, 340 (1900)(4). 
A palearctic species, ranging from Europe to Armenia, China, Korea 
and Japan, and recorded from Dharmsala(‘). 
Larva yellow-whitish ; head dark-brown ; plate of 2 brownish ochreous ; 
in stems and roots of Artemisia vulgaris. The larva is figured by Spuler(*) 
(Nachir., Taf. X f. 29). 
EUCOSMA ZELOTA, MEYR. (PLATE XII.) 
Eucosma zelota, Meyr., Exot. Micr., II, 18 (Oct. 1916) (') ; Proce. Second Entl. 
Meeting, p. 264 (1917)(?). 
Described from Abbottabad, where the larvee were found on 10th June 
1916, spinning together three or four young rose leaves into a bunch. The 
leaves (or at least two of them) are folded longitudinally and the larva feeds 
inside the leaves, passing from one to another through communication-pass- 
ages. The whole interior part of the folded leaves is thickly lined with white 
silk. 
The full-grown larva is about 9 mm. long, moderately stout, cylindrical, 
rather flattened, pale brownish yellow or orange-yellow or dirty greenish- 
yellow, the contents of intestinal canal clearly visible through the skin ; head 
shining black ; prothoracic shield distinctly divided medially, shining black ; 
legs black ; prolegs yellowish ; lateral flange well defined ; body segments with 
scattered short whitish hairs arising from minute black warts. 
Pupation takes place in a silken cocoon formed inside the bunch of spun 
leaves. Moths emerged between 16th and 25th June 1916. 
EUCOSMA STEREOMA, MEYR. 
Hucosma stereoma, Meyr., Exot. Micr., I, 33-34 (1912)('). 
Larva, described from Pusa records, is cylindrical, greyish-yellow ; head 
flattened, yellow ; plate of second segment large, yellow ; spots with longish 
white hairs; in rolled terminal leaves of Acacia sp. (Leguminose) ; pupa 
in a white cocoon('). 
Eucosma stereoma was reared at Pusa in April 1911, from larve found 
in rolled-up flowers of Pithecolobium dulce or Inga dulcis, and again on 2nd 
and 4th August 1911, from larve found on 24th July rolling the top-leaves 
of a species of Acacia, living hidden and feeding on the leaves from within its 
tube. It pupates amongst the leaves in a white silken cocoon.
