Two New Psychids, and Notes on Other Species 

 (Lepidoptera, Psychidae.) 



By FRANK MORTON JONES, Wilmington, Delaware. 



(Plates VII, VIII) 



Of our North American Psychidae. four species, confed- 

 crata firt. carbonaria Pack., fragmentella Hy. Edw., and 

 tnicvi Jones have been referred to Enrycyttants Hampton, 

 originally created as a sub-genus of Psyche Schrank for the 

 reception of an insect from the Nilgiri District. India. In 

 this sub-genus the anal vein of primaries sends a single branch 

 to the inner margin, "vein 6" is absent from both wings, and 

 the anterior tibiae are not spurred; in the two species whose 

 descriptions follow, however, and in tracyi Jones, the primaries 

 lack even the basal portion of lr K'omstock's 1st anal), a 

 condition not shown in Hampson's illustrations of the vena- 

 tion of I'syclie or of any of its sub-genera. Since, however, 

 by Ilampson's table's, and by that of Xeumoegen & Dyar in 

 our own literature, these insects run out to Eurycyttarus, and 

 until a detailed comparison with the world-species permits 

 their more accurate placing, it seem> best, for the- present, to 



leave them there.
