moderate, porrected, loosely scaled toward lip. Posterior tibiae smooth 

 scaled. Forewings lanceolate; 3 absent, 4 absent, 6 absent, 8 absent, 

 11 absent. Hindwings about -, linear lanceolate, 3 absent, 4 absent, 5 

 and 6 stalked. 



The venation of the fore wings is very similar to that of Phyllo- 

 noryder Hb., but differs from the latter in that 7 approximates 8 

 toward the base and is well separated from the stalk of veins 5 

 and 6 in the hindwings. 



Leucanthiza Clemens. 



Type: Leucanthiza amphicarpeaejoliella Clem. 



Head loosely rough haired on crown, face smooth. Antennae 1, basal 

 joint hardly thickened. Labial palpi short, slender, drooping. Maxillary 

 palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales. Forewings 

 lanceolate; 3 absent, 4 absent, 11 absent. Hindwings about \, narrow 

 lanceolate, cilia 4; 3 absent, 4 absent, 6 absent. 



It should be noted that vein 6 is not stalked with 5 as stated 

 by Meyrick but is absent. 



Neurolipa nov. gen. 



Type : Neurolipa randiella Busck. 



Head smooth. Antennae 1, base enlarged with faint pecten. Labial* 

 palpi loosely scaled, porrected or drooping, end joint equal to second, 

 curved. Maxillary palpi moderate, filiform, loosely scaled, porrected. 

 Hind tibiae with long appressed hairs. Forewings elongate, acuminate; 

 9 veins, 11 absent, one costal and one dorsal branch absent from near 

 outer end of cell. Hindwings linear; 6 veins, 2, 3 and 4 coincident, 5 and 6 

 stalked. 



This genus has a venation apparently derived from the Acro- 

 cercops type but the hind tibiae are similar to Phyllonorycter Hb. 



Apophthisis Braun. 



Type; Apophthisis pullala Braun. 



Head with appressed scales. Antennae somewhat under 1, basal seg- 

 ment with pecten. Labial palpi moderate, straight, drooping. Maxil- 

 lary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae with a row of short projecting 

 scales above. Forewings lanceolate, the margin from the inner angle 

 to the apex is almost straight or slightly concave; 2 almost obsolete, 3 

 absent, 4 indistinct, from lower angle of the cell, 5 absent, 6 and 7 stalked, 

 transverse vein indistinct between 4 and 6, 11 obsolete except at origin 

 and near costa. Hindwnigs about , lanceolate, cilia 5; 5 and 6 stalked. 



This genus is known to me only from the original description 

 given above and the figure of the venation which accompanies
