OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XVII, 1915 87 



is restricted by him to the forms with porrected palpi; I am at 

 present unable to maintain more than one genus. 



Abrenthia new genus. 



Labial palpi long, curved, smooth; second joint rather short; terminal 

 joint twice as long as second; pointed, not flattened. Maxillary palpi 

 rudimentary. Tongue well developed, curled. Antennae half as long as 

 the forewings, thick, smooth, with short joints and very short pubescence. 

 Face, head and thorax smooth. Forewings elongate ovate, apex blunt, 

 termen and dorsum evenly rounded, costa nearly straight to apical fourth; 

 cilia short; 12 veins, all separate; 11 from near base; 2 from before the cell; 

 3 to 10 from end of the cell; internal vein from between 10-11 to between 

 7-8; 1 b. furcate at base; 1 c. present, but obliterated towards base. Hind- 

 wings as broad as the forewings, trapezoidal, costa and dorsum nearly 

 straight, parallel; apex blunt, termen straight; tornus rounded; 8 veins; 

 8 free; 3 and 4 connate; 5, 6 and 7 somewhat approximate at base; cilia 

 short. Posterior tibiae smooth. 



Type: A. cuprea Busck. 



The genus is near to Millieria Ragenot, Maclotica Meyrick and 

 Glyphipteryx Hiibner, different from all of these in the smooth, 

 nearly sickleshaped, pointed palpi with the terminal joint much 

 longer than* the second. 



Millieria Ragenot has incorrectly been sunk as a synonym of 

 Porpe (Choreutis Authors) by Meyrick; the latter genus must 

 be restricted to the species with veins 3 and 4 coincident in the 

 hindwings. 



Abrenthia cuprea n. sp. 



Labial palpi light golden purple. Antennae purplish black. Thorax, 

 patagia and extreme base of forewings dark bronze with strong metallic 

 golden reflections. Forewings dark purplish blue with numerous thin, 

 equidistant, longitudinal, whitish violaceous lines from base to apex; 

 apical edge strongly metallic violaceous; cilia dark brown. Hindwings 

 blackish brown with whitish cilia. Abdomen dark purplish brown with 

 silvery underside. Legs dark brown with white tarsal annulations. Alar 

 expanse: 11 mm. 



Habitat: Roxboro, Pa., June, F. Haimbach, collector; Falls 

 Church, Va., July, Carl Heinrich, collector. 



Type: Cat. No. 19239, U. S. N. M. 



A gorgeously colored little moth, unlike any North American 

 species, reminding one of the South American genus Maclotica 

 to which it is allied. 



Coleophora acamtopappi n. sp. 



Labial palpi light ochreous, whitish on the inner sides; second joint 

 with small pointed tuft. Antennae light ochreous without basal scale tuft.
