white cocoon, with five black bubbles on it, found on “ pepper- 
creeper,” but no mine on leaves, larva apparently wandered from 
another plant (R. M. Maxwell .); 1 ex. A handsome and distinct 
species, allied to syringella ; larva probably not a miner, except at 
first. 
G-racilaria mastopis Meyr. 
Bombay, Mahableshwar, 4 ex. bred January from larvae on Litsea 
StocJcsii (Lauracece ); larva mines a narrow elongate blotch at edge 
of young leaf (underside), which, as the cuticle contracts, rolls over 
so as to conceal the mine ; pupa in a separate cocoon within edge 
of leaf; colouring of imago resembles that of fallen bracts of food- 
plant (A. M. Maxwell). This species was described from a unique 
specimen from Assam.
