whitish streak at 3/4 of costa not meeting a large whitish extension 

 from tornus, a small whitish costal spot just before apex; all of these 

 whitish streaks more or less bordered by fuscous, sometimes the 

 whitish markings are pure white and sometimes they are ochreous 

 concolorous with the other ochreous portions of the wing; cilia whit- 

 ish ochreous, slightly fuscous at tips and a dark fuscous line at base; 

 expanse 7-9mm. Hind wings greyish fuscous, cilia paler. Abdomen

HAB. Mt. Tantalus, Oalni, Marcli 15, 1914; 13 speci- 

 mens reared from mines in leaves of Urera sandwicensis; and 

 again March 16, 1915, 20 more specimens reared from mined 

 leaves of the same tree. 



LAKVA. Full-grown larva about 6mm. ; slender, segment 

 2 much enlarged, head mostly retracted into it; pale greenish 

 head strongly bilobed, testaceous with brown sutures, eyes black ; 

 cervical shield slightly testaceous and roughened on the di'-k ; a 

 similarly roughened area on ventral side between the legs, black 

 lengthwise in middle; abdominal prolegs on segments 7-9. 



PUPA. Pupa slender, 4mm., pale greenish ; wing-sheaths 

 extend to apex of 5th abdominal segment, free beyond 4th seg- 

 ment; posterior leg-sheaths extend to apex of abdomen; an- 

 tenna-sheaths extend to apex of abdomen and curve up over the 

 back to about middle of abdomen ; cremaster rounded, unarmed. 



MINE. The mine at first is a small roundish blotch becom- 

 ing irregular as it becomes larger from the eating of the larva 

 within. The larva emerges to spin its whitish cocoon on the 

 surface of the leaf. 



The moths emerged from the cocoons in about ten days. 



PARASITES. From the lot of mined leaves collected 

 March 15, 1914, 19 specimens of a new species of Sierola 

 emerged; and from the lot collected March 16, 1915, two speci- 

 mens of Omphale metalUnis emerged, also 9 specimens of an 

 undetermined Chalcid. Nearly as many parasites as there were 

 moths. 



GracUaria iirerana n.sp. 



Antennae l^/^, fuscous, paler at the apex. Palpi whitish, terminal 

 segment fuscous externally. Head dull ochreous. Thorax pale brown- 

 ish ochreous. Front wings brownish fuscous, apical fourth pale lemon
