angulated fascia precisely similar ; both these are margined with 

 black scales externally, but only on the longer dorsal arm ; to- 

 wards the hinder margin is an oblique whitish fascia, terminating 

 in the apex, externally margined with black, and between it and 

 the second fascia, is a small whitish spot on the costa, which is 

 sometimes connected with the angulation of the second fascia by 

 a series of black scales ; cilia greyish, with a dark fuscous hinder 

 marginal line. 



Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Of this I have received several specimens from Mr. Atkinson, 

 who remarks, " I detected this shortly after my arrival here, 

 mining the upper cuticle of the leaves of Bauhinia purpurea (not 

 racemosa, as formerly mentioned,*) in irregular circular or oval 

 patches, the leaf remaining uncontracted. Before changing to 

 pupa, the larva spins a slight silken cocoon, drawing together the 

 two cuticles of the leaf in the centre of the mined part, and form- 

 ing almost an exact circle."
