Acrocercops caerulea Meyr. 
Bombay, Salsette I., bred March from larvae “ mining in February 
(several together) a blotch which covers most of leaf surface of 
Cissampelos pareira ( Menispermacece ), pupa in a fold in blotch ” 
{Mrs. M. L. Maxwell). These examples I cannot distinguish from 
those I possess bred from various Leguminosce , and consider them 
unquestionably identical. The specimens have the fourth costal 
spot of forewings tending to be produced into a tine direct transverse 
line, and the median area of dorsal edge bearing several minute 
erect black tufts, but these features, though not observed in my 
original description, can be seen in examples bred from Leguminosce 
when in equally tine condition with these.

mine at edge of leaf; wanders to pupate in very small oval white 
cocoon, often on midrib of leaf ” {Mrs. M. L. Maxwell).

Parectopa leucochorda Meyr. 
Bombay, Poona, bred June from larva “ mining in underside of 
leaf of Terminalia chabula in folded-over edge; it wanders to
