ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW YORK 
LOCUST. LEAVES. 
been nurtured in the leaves of some other tree, perhaps those of the 
hickory. Minute moths of several other species arc met with, in company 
with them in this situation, some of them of this same genus and so closely 
resembling the locust leaf-miner that they merit a notice in connection with 
it, although I know not the kind of leaves in which they are reared. 
336. Morris’s leap-miner, Argyromiges Morrisella, new species. 
This moth is similar to the preceding in its size and marks, but the 
entire inner half of the fore wings is black, slightly tinged posteriorly with 
golden yellow, and interrupted at equal distances by three white spots or 
short bands narrowing towards their inner ends, and between each of these 
is a less distinct white spot or cloud. Forward of the anterior white spot 
the color is more pure and coal-black, forming an oblong square spot 
occupying the inner half the base of the wing, which spot is bordered 
along its inner side by a slender white stripe placed upon the middle of the 
wing at its base, its hind end uniting with the inner end of the anterior 
white spot. 
337. Uhler’s leap-miner, Argyromiges Uhlerella, now species. 
This resembles Pseudacaciella, but is throughout of paler colors, the 
fore wings being golden gray, with five white spots along their outer sides, 
of which the hindmost ones arc small, the others quite large and bordered 
with blackish upon their anterior sides ; and the black dot on the tip of 
the wings is here replaced by a short black stripe thrice as long as it is 
wide ; whilst the hind wings and their fringes are pale silvery gray. These 
marks will suffice to distinguish this from the two preceding species. 
333. Ostensacken’s leap-miner, Argyromiges Ostensuckenella, new species. 
Another moth of this genus, which comes abroad in July and August and 
sometimes enters opened windows in the evening, alighting around the 
lighted lamps upon our tables, I here introduce to notice, it having much 
similarity to those above described. Its body, hind wings and all the 
under side is black, its head.silvery white, and its fore wings of a deep 
orange tint with the brilliancy of gold. These wings are crossed by four 
equidistant straight broad silvery white bands, each edged on its fore side 
with a black line, the second of these bands being placed in the middle of 
the wing and the trvo hind ones having an interruption in their middle. 
There is no black dot on the tips as in the preceding species, but on their 
hind edge is a curved black line. Its width when the wings are spread is 
but 0.20. 
Numerous other leaf-mining moths of our State pertaining to this and 
kindred genera are known to me, some of them rivalling or surpassing the 
preceding in their highly burnished metallic colors and the elegance of their 
marks, but as they have less resemblance to the Locust leaf-miner, there is 
no occasion for a particular notice of them in this connection.
