LEUCOPTERA SPHENOGRAPTA, MEYR. (PLATE XLVII, FIG. 2.) 
Leucoptera sphenograpta, Meyr., B. J., XXI, 108-109 (1911)('); Lefroy, Ind. 
Ins. Life, p. 539 (1909)(?). 
Described from Multan(!) and Pusa('). We have it from Pusa, Peshawar, 
Lyallpur and Asanso! ; doubtless it occurs throughout the Plains of Northern 
India wherever eee sissu QLOws. 
Larva mining blotches in leaves of Dalbergia sissu('). 
Larva mining leaves of Dalbergia sissu, at times extremely destructive 
to young plants. Moths abundant in the cold weather when the leaves of 
the sissu fall [about February at Pusa]; when new leaves are put forth, they 
lay their eggs, a single small egg on each leaflet(?). 
The larva mines a blotch near the edge of a leaf of Dalbergia sissu, prac- 
tically all the new leaves being affected in some years. When fresh, the 
mine is not very evident but later on it turns brown and is then conspicuous. 
The moths are common at Pusa throughout the winter and often occur in 
: countless thousands about the end of April, two months after the new Dalbergia 
leaves have been put forth.
