Phyllotoma ochropoda, Klug. I have one example of which I ne- 
glected to note the locality. The insect in Stephens' collection under 
Heterarthus ochropodus seems to be Pcecilostoma obesa, but I do not 
know if this be the example referred to in the "Illustrations " (Mand. 
vol. vii., -p. 94) as being then in Mr. Ingpen's collection. The descrip- 
tion suits the true ochropoda ; hence this may really not be an addition 
to our list. 
Phyllotoma microcephala, Klug. Bred by Mr. Healy from a larva 
which mines the leaves of Alnus glutinosa, forming large blotches at 
the tip : it changes to pupa in the mine. 
Phyllotoma melanopyga, Klug. Bred by Mr. Healy from a larva 
which has similar habits to the last, only that it affects Halix capr<sa. 
Phyllotoma tenella, Zaddach {Beschreihung neuer oder wenig be- 
kannter Blattwespen, p. 28, fig. 17, 1859). Beaten from birch at Ran- 
noch in June, 1865. 
Phyllotoma aceris, n. sp. 
Nigra, s]parse griseo-pilosa. Antennce suhtus ad apicem suh-testacece ; 11 -articulat(jB. 
Oculorum margines frontales, palpi, alarum anteriorum humeri, pedesque in parte, 
albidi. Aim fumosce ; venis nigris ; pterostigmate saturatiore. Long. corp. If"; 
exp. alar. 3f'" (?). 
Larva suh- cutanea, folia Aceris campestris et A. pseudo-platani incolens. Pupa 
in thecd circulare, ex folii parte constructd, occulta. 
Black, shining, with very .short and sparse grey pubescence. Antennae 11- 
jointed, scarcely so long as the abdomen ; the last four or five apical joints somewhat 
testaceous beneath, and naore thickly pubescent than the basal portion. Eyes 
black. Ocelli conspicuous, bright reddish. Palpi whitish, the two basal joints 
suffused with blackish. The margins of the eye-sockets on the face, the shoulder- 
scales of the anterior wings, and two raised scale-like lobes on the metathorax, 
whitish. Legs whitish ; the coxae and trochanters (except at the apex), a line on 
the exterior surface of the intermediate femora, expanding at the apex, the posterior 
femora wholly (the extreme apex excepted), and the tarsi (save at the sutures of 
the joints) more or less black. Abdomen wholly black. Wings smoky; the veins 
strong and black ; pterostigma dilated, blackish, becoming paler in the lower 
portion. 
Bred by Mr, Healy from larvae which make great blotches in the 
leaves of ^cer campestre, and occasionally in Acer pseudo-platanus. 
Changes to pupa in circular cases cut from the mine, varying from 
6| to 9'" in diameter. The full history of this interesting species is 
detailed in the succeeding artiefe by Mr. Healy. I find nothing like it 
previously described. 
Blennocatnpa nana, Klug. Beaten from birch at Eanuoch in June,
