EXOTIC MIOROLEPIDOPTEKA. 
a blotch under upper cuticle of leaves of Terminalici bderiea 
(Combretaeece ), seven larvae found feeding together in one blotch 
(Maxwell). Allied to A. terminalice but quite distinct by the 
thick black subapical streak, and the disconnection of basal and 
antemedian fasciae on dorsum. 
Acrocercops cylicota Meyr. 
Bombay, Karwar, bred September (Maxwell). Larva tapering 
posteriorly, reddish, finally crimson; mines a blotch under upper 
cuticle of leaves of Ehretia (laevis ?) (Boraginacece ), blotch extend¬ 
ing to margin and puckering the leaf very much : cocoon exposed, 
flat, oval, rather orange-coloured, with a few small bubbles. 
Previously bred from Colebrookea, but this record needs confirma¬ 
tion, as only one example was bred, along with one of A. isodelta 
bred from the same larvae, and there may have been some error. 
Acrocercops scandalota Meyr. 
Larva greenish-yellow, 2-4 dilated, becomes orange and finally 
crimson before pupation ; mines in August a blotch (several larvae 
in one) beneath upper cuticle of leaves of Mallotus philippensis 
(Euphorbiacece) ; cocoon external, flat, oval, brownish, a few small 
bubbles round edge; emerged September ; 6 ex. (Maxwell). Pre¬ 
viously bred from Helicteres. 
Acrocercops elaphopa Meyr. 
Larva yellow, becoming scarlet before pupation, anterior segments 
much dilated ; mines a small irregular gallery ending in a blotch 
beneath upper cuticle of leaf of Ficus asperrima ; cocoon externally 
flat, oval, yellowish, surface covered with minute black bristles, 
with about a dozen much larger black knots mostly grouped round 
outer edge, and two whitish silk bubbles placed axially (Maxwell). 
Acrocercops psaliodes, n. sp. 
$>. 8 mm. Head, thorax ochreous-white. Palpi white, second 
joint dark fuscous except apical edge, with long projecting pointed 
apical tuft beneath. Porewings very narrow ; dark fuscous, darker 
or blackish towards margins; about seven irregular oblique 
narrowly separated whitish streaks occupying dorsal half from base 
to beyond middle, last pointing to a small whitish spot on costa ; 
curved blue-leaden transverse lines at | and before apex, each 
closely preceded by a fine whitish line with both extremities curved 
back near margins almost to preceding markings; a subquadrate 
blackish apical spot edged by white dots above and beneath : cilia 
whitish with two blackish lines, towards tornus grey. Hindwings 
dark grey ; cilia grey. 
Bombay, Karwar, bred September (Maxwell) ; 1 ex. Larva 
green, becoming blue-green before pupation, tapering poste¬ 
riorly ; mines in August a short broad gallery under upper cuticle 
o p leaf of Bridelia (Euphorbiacece), excrement gathered along both 
sides of gallery; larval period little over b days; cocoon exposed,
