Egg-laying and Larva. 
Ova deposited singly in small pockets forced beneath the under-cuticle 
of leaf. Larva when full-grown 2-2-5 mm. in length, pale lemon-yellow, 
brighter orange posteriorly, with a black spot on dorsum of terminal 
three €—Q non ratory processes short and black-tipped. 
The Mine. (Plate 68, fig. 5.) 
A gallery expanding in its xis half into a somewhat irregular lobed 
blotch. Though visible on the er-surface of leaf, more conspicuous on. 
upper, lying as it does iiitédiately under this cuticle. Earlier part of 
usually directed towards outer margin of leaf, which it follows 
for a longer or shorter distance, whereas blotch portion is usually in middle 
part of leaf against the midrib, which it does not cross. Average total 
length of mine, 2-3 in., the blotch occupying about } square inch. Colour 
e mine pale green. Frass black, granular, scanty and scattered, tending 
collect into small heaps, especially in blotch portion. When there are 
жске larvae ing in close proximity their mines usually coalesce, and 
a large composite blotch results. Larva escapes through a cut in floor of 
mine and descends to ground to pupate. There is a certain amount of dark 
discoloration of the leaf on either side of first portion of ey 
The Pupa. 
Pupation takes place outside the mine (occasionally inside Sis para- 
sited) amongst rubbish on the ground. Length of pupal period, about 
three weeks. The pupa itself is dark brown in colour, similar in type to 
that of A. citreifemorata.

Nepticula tricentra (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 53, p. 212). 
Mr. Meyrick, who has seen bred specimens of this moth, says it is not 
tricentra, but a new species. I describe it below as N. erec echtitus 
history is as given under the name tricentra (No. 11) in Part II.
