Szőcs, J.: New Nepticula species from Hungary

their genital organ is wholly corresponding with the drawing of the organ of N. utensis Weber, made and published by Klimesch. Though, on the basis of the above considerations, I have to relegate this animal to utensis Weber, its small size, its foodplant and its life history all warrant a new name, the more so as not disposing of real N. utensis Weber specimens, I have been unable to compare the two species with the possibility that later examinations will result in the distinct specificity of my animals. The serpentine mine is very narrow in the beginning, the excremenet fills the mine almost completely. The gallery will strongly broaden later, eating the leaf usually completely away from the rhachis to the tips of the lobes. The excrement builds a central main line in its whole length, consisting of smaller and greater grains ; they may even disperse to scattered grains in smaller intervals. The egg-shell is to be found on the underside of the leaf, usually adjacent to a vein. The larve is a pale green, it head borwn. The cocoon is smooth, black, ellipsoid.
