in web, 8 or 9 mm. long, flead black; body dull white, the 

 piliferous tubercles dark but not very conspicuous. First thoracic

 Honera luteella Hulst, Bull. 52, U. S. Nat. Mus., p. 433, 1902. 



Hulst's type of luteella is before me and agrees with Ragonot's 

 figure of lithosella. The species does not belong to Honora, 

 having S veins in the hind wings, but agrees generically with 

 the European argyrella Fab., the type of Selagia. 



Cacotherapia, n. gen. 



Fore wings with 12 veins, 2 well before the angle of the cell, 3 before 

 the angle, 4 and 5 long-stalked, cell long, 6 well below the upper angle, 

 7 to 10 stalked, 7 to 9 close together on a long stalk, 7 from 8 beyond 9, 

 10 shortly stalked, n from cell. Hind wings with 7 veins, 2 from long 

 before angle of cell, 3 and 4 separate, 6 from upper angle of cell, 7 and 8 

 anastomosing, the upper vein of the cell obsolete, resembling the discal 

 vein. Labial palpi long, porrect ; maxillary palpi and tongue invisible ; 

 rf antennae thickened, slightly dentate, ciliate, a heavy scaling on costa of 

 fore wings below at base. 



Belongs to the Galleriinas near Antipilotis Meyrick, but differs 

 in the obsolescence of the tongue, the long porrect palpi, etc. 

 Type: Aurora nigrocinereella Hulst.

The locality "Texas" given by Hulst is erroneous. The 

 specimens were bred from larvae feeding on ^ Lecanium sp., on 

 Bigelovia douglassii, American Fork, Utah (E. A. Schwarz). 

 Received at Dept. Agriculture June 22, 1891, issued cT and 9

This adds another to the list of carnivorous Lepidoptera.
