NEPTICULID^E. 
Nepticula subvirescens, n. sp. 
<$ . 4 mm. Head yellow-ochreous. Antennae dark grey, eyecaps 
pale ochreous-yellowish. Thorax shining bronze. Forewings shining 
greyish-bronze, with dark reflections in certain lights, tips of scales 
dark grey: cilia shining whitish-yellow, basal third dark grey. 
Hindwings shining greenish ; cilia greenish-grey. 
France, Marseilles, bred Jan. IS iv ova Azalea indica(R. Bouhelier ) ; 
I ex. Presumably the real home of this species is Asiatic, with its 
food-plant; the green hindwings are a unique feature ; the insect 
is probably overlooked.
