neuration. The discal cell of the primaries is wider in this species and 

 the discal vein is of course longer, and the median, instead of being 

 three branched with the third branch furcate behind the cell, divides into 

 three approximate simple branches about the end of the cell. In Evippe 

 the median vein of the hind wings is three branched, in this species 

 it is two branched. 



The antennae in this species are also a little longer than in E. pruni- 

 foltella. 



In other respects it does not seem necessary to separate the species. 



This species was found in my study, where it had probably escaped 

 from some of my breeding cages. 



E. vagatiodla. N. sp. 



Palpi with alternate annulations of white and dark grayish brown, 

 five of each color, the tip being white and the base gray brown ; face 

 white. Vertex yellowish dusted with grayish brown ; antennae fuscous ; 

 thorax dark brown and white, about equally intermixed ; primaries dark 

 brown faintly dusted with white, the dorsal margin being white, dusted 

 with dark brown, especially towards the apex, where it might more 

 properly be called brown streaked with white. There is an irregular 

 indistinct whitish streak on the costa near the base, and a white spot on 

 the extreme costa behind the middle ; the white color prevails in the 

 apical portion of the costal margin, but is dusted with brown, and the 

 apex is white with a rather large dark brown apical spot or patch. Cilia 

 pale grayish dusted with white. Legs and under surface whitish, with 

 patches of grayish brown. AI. ex. T / 2 inch. Kentucky.

This genus and the species on which I have founded it approaches 

 Trypcuiisma Clemens, Gelechia difficilisella, and more remotely Agnippe 

 and Evippe. 



Wings horizontal in repose. Primaries lanceolate ; the costal attains 

 the margin before the middle ; the subcostal sends to the costal margin 

 two branches before the end of the cell, one from the end, another behind 

 it and becomes furcate before the tip, delivering a branch to each margin.
