Muell. and E. trans- eontinentalis Maiden. E. Family Tineidae. "Tinea" nectarea Meyrick. Mine type: Blotch (Figure 32). Hosts: E. acmenioides; E. pilularis; E. saligna. Localities: Lisarow; Sydney; Lawson, Notes: Larvae of this species pull around with them a case which serves as their shelter when they are not mining. They have been collected during August to April. Prior to construction of the first case, two leaves of the host plant are held together with strands of silk between which the larvae feed and from which they extrude their excreta. The first case is cut from these two leaves and larvae then move to a new leaf to which the case is attached by strong strands of silk. Larvae then commence mining from the point of attachment to the leaf. The point of attachment is later indicated by a small round hole in the leaf cuticle through which the larvae mine the parenchyma between the leaf cuticles, so that the mines appear translucent. Although larvae usually attach their cases to the ventral leaf surface, some may feed from the dorsal surface. While mining, larvae often leave the case to extend the mine beyond their own length, but always return to the case to void excreta through the posterior end of the case. The cases, later formed
