Jwee in Queensland(?), Ceylon(* +), Coorg(®), Mysore(®), Kanara(6) and apparently 
in Burma(®). We have it from Mysore and Virajpet (South Coorg). 
It has been reared in July at Peradeniya from larva mining leaves of 
Litsea and is also a pest of camphor, mining in the leaves(). 
‘ Larva cylindrical, segments rather strongly marked, wholly orange, with 
tinge of crimson ; mining blotch in upper side of leaf of Alseodaphne semecar- 
pifolia (Lauracee) and an unidentified shrub (also recorded from Lztsea, there- 
fore probably feeds on several Laurace) ; cocoon oval, orange, external, but 
occasionally within blotch, with two or three bubbles attached (Maawell)’’(8). 
Meyrick(®) says that the “ brilliant amber-yellow ” larve described by 
Stainton under the name quadrifasciata |q. v.| “* are presumably ordinatella.”

Described from Calcutta where the larvee were found by Atkinson mining 
the under side of the leaves of Urena lobata and the upper side of the leaves 
of an unknown plant. Atkinson’s description of these larvae was :— 
“ Larva mining leaves of Urena lobata, 25th May 1856.—Very pale whitish- 
green, dorsal vessel deep green; head small; jaws light chestnut; legs
