silvery-whitish; grey subcostal and submedian lines from about -jt 
to middle slightly converging anteriorly, space between them 
suffused pale brassy-yellowish ; a fine oblique dark fuscous strigula 
from middle of costa, not reaching half across wing; a fine slightly 
inwards-oblique nearly straight dark fuscous line from | of costa

yellowish; a rather large subtriangular black apical dot preceded 
by a crescentic white mark : cilia grey-whitish, two fine oblique 
parallel dark fuscous lines from costa, a third direct above apex, 
two others cloudy projecting from apex and little diverging, and a 
curved antemedian line on termen, space within this suffused pale 
yellowish. Hindwings grey ; cilia grey-whitish. 
Bombay, Salsette I., bred June from larva “ mining earlier in 
same month a wandering gallery in leaf of /S Uereosjoermum suciveolens 
(Bignoniacece ), pupa in folded edge of leaf” ( Mrs . M. L. Maxwell );

Phyllocnistis amydropa, n. sp. 
3 2 • 5 mm. Head, palpi, thorax silvery-whitish. Forewings 
silvery-whitish ; dark grey subcostal and submedian lines from 
near base to middle slightly converging anteriorly, space between 
them suffused pale yellowish ; a fine oblique dark grey strigula 
from middle of costa reaching g across wing; a fine slightly 
excurved little inwards-oblique dark grey line from J of costa to 
dorsum, edged light yellowish anteriorly ; apical third of wing 
faintly suffused pale yellowish, enclosing a white costal spot at |; 
a rather large roundish black apical dot preceded by a white spot: 
cilia grey-whitish with faint yellowish tinge, two rather oblique

Bombay, Salsette I., bred May from larvae “ mining a wandering 
gallery under upper cuticle of leaf of Gmelina arborea ( Verbenaceaz), 
cocoon at end of gallery in turned-over edge of leaf or puckered 
fold ” (Mrs. M. L. Maxwell) ; 4 ex. 
Phyllocnistis humiliella Dev. 
Java, Telawa, 2 examples bred June from larvae mining leaves 
of Cinnamomum iners (Lauracece ) (Dr. L. G. E. Kalshoven). These 
specimens agree exactly (the genus Phyllocnistis requires absolute 
exactness) with Deventer’s figure; his examples were bred from a 
plant of which he could not ascertain the scientific name ; I have 
not seen the species previously.
