Pale yellow, sprinkled with pale fuscous. Al. ex. rs inch.

aetole, gen. nov. 



Belongs to the Elachistidae, but is quite distinct from any genus known 

 to me, approaching perhaps as near to Heliozella as to any other. 



Tongue long and naked ; no maxillary palpi ; labial palpi very short, 

 drooping, the third joint pointed, about as long as the second • forehead

 Eyes moderate, scarcely visible in front ; antennae about as long as the 

 body, simple, rather thick, the basal joint short. 



Primaries lanceolate, scarcely caudate, but with the apical part narrow 

 and pointed \ cell closed by a somewhat oblique discal nervure ; the sub-

 margin before the apex ; the discal gives off two branches, the superior 

 being furcate before the apex, with one of the branches to each margin ; 

 the median is furcate from the end of the cell, and the submedian not 

 furcate at the base. 



Secondaries narrowly lanceolate ; costal vein very short ; median dis-

 furcate with one branch to the apex and the other to the dorsal margin, 

 and there is an independent discal ? branch to the dorsal margin.
