spinning the leaves together. Changed to a pupa in January, 

 the moth taking wing on the 15th of the following month. 



I believe this is the first record of the earlj stages of this 

 extensive Australian genus. 



Depressariidse. 

 Gonionota pyrohola^ Meyr. (PL XX. figs. 7 & 7 a.) 



Larva about an inch in length, delicate bluish green in 

 colour, the second segment more robust than the others ; the 

 head dark brown, having on each side an oblong patch of 

 dull white. It lives at the end of the leaf in a tube, which it 

 ingeniously constructs by cutting the leaf on each side from 

 the outer margins to nearly the middle and rolling the upper 

 portion on itself and securing it firmly with silk threads. 

 Before entering the pupa state it leaves this habitation and 

 attaches itself to the back of a leaf or small twig by the tail. 



Pupa naked, dark bluish green, finely speckled with red ; 

 the shoulders prominent and angular ; a rounded protuber- 

 ance on the upper part of the front of the abdomen formed 

 by the tips of the wings ; two pointed processes above the 

 eyes, projecting forwards, the tail truncated. 



A single specimen of tiiis remarkable species reared from a 

 nearly full-grown larva found on ^giceras fragrans in 

 September last. The moth, which is nocturnal, emerged in 

 January. 



Hyponomeutidae. 

 Encemia camincea^ Meyr. (PI. XX. figs. 5 &, o a.) 



The larva of this species is of the form locally known as 

 a " saddle-back." In colour it is white with traces of red, 

 the sides yellow, with four longitudinal dark reddish-brown 

 markings, two at the anterior and two at the posterior extre- 

 mity, and a row of small brown spots parallel to each lateral 

 margin. Length 7 lines. 



Pupa yellow. Attached to the underside of a leaf on its 

 food-plant. 



A female specimen bred in April from larvaa found on a 

 low-growing Eucalyptus in a garden at Double Bay.
