its edges indicate an oblique black dash. A row of small terminal dots.

Acrobasis kearfottella^ new species. 
As in A. carycB Grote, but the wings washed with a broad pure white

I am satisfied that I have redescribed Dr. Hulst's species. The

Meroptera cviatella^f new species. 
Basal space, costa and inner margin broadly bright reddish brown, the
