FAM. GRACTLARIAD/F. 



15. Genus CHILOCAMPYLA, Busck 



Chilocampyla. Busck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. Vol. 23, p. 248 (1900). — Type : C. dyariella, Busck. 



Characters. — Head smooth. Antennae nearly one and one-half, basal joint elongate, rather 

 stout, with projecting Map of dense scales. Labial palpi lung, curved, subascending. slender, smooth, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi moderate, porrected, slightly curved, filiform Middle tibiae thickened with 

 strong tuft of scales, posterior tibiae with double row of long bristles above. Forewings elongate- 

 lanceolate; 3 absent, band 7 stalked, 10 in rf obliterated by a costal depression, 11 from before middle. 

 Hindwings one-half, linear, cilia 5 ; 5 and 6 stalked. 



A specialised form of Gracilcuia, apparently not with anv immediate relationship to the other 

 genera with bristly posterior tibiae. 



Imago with forepart raised in repose, two anterior pairs of legs prominently displayed, antennae 

 obliquely porrected: this last feature is unusual in the family, but not unique. 



Larva cylindrical, legs and prolegs developed; mining an inflated blotch in leaves. 



Pupa in a cocoon outside the mine. 



Foodplants Myrtaceae. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Confined to warmer regions of North America.

16. Genus TIMODORA, Meyrick 



Timodora. Meyrick. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 2q5 (18S6). — Type : T. chrysochoa, Meyrick. 



Characters. — Head roughly tufted on crown, face smooth. Antennae over 1, basal joint 

 moderately long, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, with appressed scales, terminal joint as 

 long as second, blunt-pointed. Maxillary palpi moderately long, slender, porrected. Middle tibia- 

 thickened with long hairscales beneath, posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings very narrow, 

 parallel-sided, pointed; 11 from near base. Hindwings about one-half, linear, cilia 5; 5 and 6 stalked. 



A development ot Gracilaria, differing essentially b3" the roughly tufted head. 



Early stages unknown. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Only known from a South Pacific island.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales. Antenna 1 or over r, basal joint more or less
