106 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Sinoe fuscopalidella has a tongue, as I find on examination of fresh 

 specimens, but it is short and inconspicuous. Probably it would be as 

 well to include it with Taygete difficilisella and Helice pallidochrella, and 

 possibly also Gelechia oUiquistrigella in a single genus. Evippe pruni- 

 foliella and Eidothea vagatioella must, however, be separated from these 

 because of their slender, more elongate and graceful forms and longer 

 palpi, though they do not otherwise differ from Helice pallidochrella and the 

 other species above named more than those species differ from each other. 

 H. pallidochrella and T. difficilisella resemble each other closely in orna- 

 mentation, but G. oUiquistrigella and S. fuscopalidella even more 

 closely. The last named species may, however, be distinguished as 

 follows : oUiquistrigella has the second joint of the palpi brown without 

 and white within, whilst in pallidochrella it is decidedly suffused with 

 rufous on the outer surface at and towards the tip. Obliquistrigdla is a 

 trifle larger than the other, has the central portion of the wings streaked 

 more distinctly with black, and has no raised tufts on the fore wings. 

 The description of fusco-ochrella should be amended to state that the face 

 is "white, faintly iridescent." 



My genus Agnippe seems by its position in repose to be allied to 

 Swammerdamia, of which no species has yet been found in this country. 

 It also resembles that genus somewhat in ornamentation, but pallidochrella 

 and oUiquistrigella resemble it in this respect more closely, though they 

 do not in the position which they assume in repose. Many Gelechia, 

 however, have the same pattern of coloration. Evippe and Eidothea have 

 the same position in repose with Agnippe, but they differ widely in form. 

 Sinoe, Helice and Agnippe resemble Lavema in having raised tufts of scales 

 on their wings, but many species of Gelechia also have them. In all these 

 new genera the form and neuration of the wings approach more nearly to 

 Parasia, CI eo dor a, &*c. 



P. plutella. N. sp. 



The species resembles Evippe prunifolielh o closely that I do not 

 deem it necessary to describe it otherwise than by referring to the differ- 

 ences between them. Prunifoliella has a small white spot on the base of 

 the costa of the fore wings, a distinct white costal spot just before the 

 ciliae, and a Avhite streak in the apex, all of which are absent in this 

 species. In prunifoliella the white of the dorsal margin sends three large 

 almost triangular projections into the brown ; in this species there are 

 three scarcely perceptible emarginations only ; in prunifoliella, except the
