white wax and very long glassy filaments, ovate, or very broadly ellipti-

tibia 0.90 mm.; Length hind tarsus 0.47 mm. Pupa-case more nearly 
elliptical and the compound pores larger than in <■<><•<>!*; operculum on

anonx Morgan (1) 
Wings with a dark spot in angk of distal bifurcation of vein. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen pale yellowish white. The dark spot of fore- 
wings, an obtuse angle, opening distally. Posterior wings with similar

thirds length of tibia. Pupa-case secreting a white downy wax. 
amrumis Shinier (2) 
Similar to amitimis, but with body and legs of deep chrome yellow; eyes not 
divided, but dumb-bell shape. Fore-wing 2 mm., noticeably iridescent; 
spot on fore-wings of rather indistinct outline, and extending cephalad
