Fiji, bred from larvae feeding in spathes of Cocos nucifera, 
“ boring into the spathe before it opens and usually completing 
their development within it, also before it opens : the larvae of 
ctrenoseJla never bore through the spathe, but wait outside until it 
splits, so that the whole of their development occurs after it has 
opened ” (T. H. C. Taylor) : 9 ex. Also bred (both species, similarly 
distinct in habitl from Jluitenzorg, Java (if. W. Paine). The 
perfect insect differs from arenosella and all other species of 
Batrachedra known to me by the black suffusion of the thickened 
terminal joint of <y palpi.
