bent outwards, the third one of these meets a white line outwardly

 four white and four fuscous spots, terminal cilia fuscous, yellowish 

 at base. Expanse of wings 9-llmm. Hind wings and cilia light fus-

HAB. Mt. Tantalus, Oalni, March 16, 1915. Eight spec- 

 imens reared from mines in the leaves of Urera sandii'icensis. 

 at the same time and from the same lot of leaves as the preced- 

 ing. 



MIXE. The mine is verv slender where it starts from an 

 egg placed on the under side of the leaf, it gi-adnallv widens as 

 the larva grows, becomes serpentine and towards the last en- 

 larges to a blotch. The larva emerges to spin its whitish cocoon 

 on the surface of the leaf. The moths emerged from the cocoons 

 in about ten dajs.

 join a transverse white band at the end of the cell, this band widest 

 in the middle where it has mostly pale-blue scales; an oblique white 

 spot near middle of cell, sometimes reaching dorsum; cilia fuscous 

 with two white spots in costal cilia, one of them at the end of trans-
