ochreous. Forewings moderately broad, costa moderately arched, 
apex obtuse-pointed, termen rounded, somewhat oblique; 7 to 
termen; whitish, with faint ochre-pinkish tinge; second discal 
stigma small, indistinct, grey: cilia whitish. Hindwings and cilia 
white. 
Algeria, Zebch, near Sebdu, August ( Powell ) ; 1 ex. (Coll. Para- 
vicini). This cannot be rigiddla , Chre't., which is explicitly stated 
to have vein 7 of forewings to costa, but must be allied to it; it 
differs also in having normal ovate hindwings, whereas in rigidella 
the termen is sinuate.

GBACILABXADtE. 
Phyllocnistis synglypta Meyr. 
Previously bred from an unidentified shrub. A second series 
now sent (certainly specifically identical) from Dharwar, bred May, 
also Poona in July; larva yellowish, dorsal area greenish, mining 
an irregular gallery on either side of leaves of Terminalia tomentosa 
( Oombretacece ), excrement liquid, forming a black line in centre of 
gallery, cocoon in folded edge of leaf ( Maxwell ). 
Epicephala orientalis Staint. 
I am much indebted to Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher for calling my 
attention to the fact that I had misidentified Stainton’s Coriscium 
orientale , and that it is really identical with and supersedes my 
austeropa ; and further that the species is more properly referred 
by head-structure and larval habit to Epieephala , not to Acrocercops; 
I fully concur in this; it is nearly allied to chalybacmci .
