  Members 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  are 
  seldom 
  seen 
  except 
  as 
  bred, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  

   among 
  the 
  most 
  minute 
  of 
  all 
  Lepidoptera, 
  some 
  measuring 
  no 
  more 
  

   than 
  i/^ 
  inch 
  in 
  expanse 
  of 
  wings.

  a 
  twig 
  

   or 
  upon 
  the 
  ground. 
  Mines 
  are 
  found 
  from 
  mid-June 
  until 
  frost, 
  and 
  the 
  

   distribution 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  usually 
  co-incident 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  its 
  food 
  

   plant.
