It is evident that the life history and habits of Zeugophora 

 scntellaris are similar to those of Z. flavicollis. Kaltenbach, 

 writing about this latter species in Pflanzenfeinde, 1874, p. 544, 

 states that it occurs in Sweden and Germany on poplar, that 

 the adults feed on the lower leaf surfaces and that the larvae 

 are miners in the leaves of Populus nigra, the mines consisting 

 of black spots on the upper surfaces. The larvae are legless, 

 yellow with brown heads and flattened serrate bodies. Pupa- 

 tion takes place in the soil, the adults appearing in May of the 

 following year. 



We are indebted to Mr. C. W. Leng for supplying us with 

 references to the foreign literature and to Mr. A. J. Mutchler, 

 who, through the courtesy of Dr. F. E. Lutz, showed us this 

 literature in the American Museum of Natural History. 



Descriptions of New Species of Coleophora (Micro- 

 lepidoptera) . 



By Annette F. Braun, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



(Continued from page 112.) 



Coleophora polemoniella n, sp. 



Head brown, palpi white, with a minute projecting tuft on the second 

 segment, and marked with a brown streak along the outer side of the 

 second and lower side of the third segment. Antennae with the basal, 

 and three or four succeeding segments slightly thickened with scales ; 

 stalk whitish, annulate with brown. Thorax brown. 



Fore wings golden brown, a distinct, rather broad white streak along 

 the costa, fading out beyond the middle of the costa ; a white streak 

 along the fold nearly to the margin and broadest near the base ; a 

 white streak from the middle of the cell to its lower angle, broadest 

 outwardly. Costal veins and one or two veins beneath the apex in- 

 distinctly marked with white. The spaces between these veins are 

 shaded with dark brown, deepest toward the margins, but not extend- 

 ing into the cilia ; the ground color above the discal streak is sometimes 

 deepened. The conspicuousness of the white streaks varies; in some 

 specimens all except the costal streak and the streak in the fold are 

 almost indistinguishable. Cilia brownish, somewhat hoary along the 

 costa. Hind wings dark grayish brown. Legs whitish, with a brown 

 line along the outer sides. Expanse : 13-14 mm. 



Locality. Cincinnati, Ohio, and vicinity. Type (a specimen 

 showing all the mg,rks described above) and paratypes in
